 You aren't pregnant if you're on the pill. You shouldn't continue taking the pill though if pregnant. But you're probably not pregnant if you've been taking the pill.

 IF you are pregnant and keep taking the pill you will STILL be pregnant.
There is a slightly higher significance of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy in women who continued taking birth control while pregnant. An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg implants itself outside the uterus and can be fatal without treatment.
•Birth control should not be used to try to induce a miscarriage while pregnant. There is no conclusive evidence that birth control used while pregnant will cause a woman to miscarry, and this is not an effective way to terminate a pregnancy.
Take a pregnancy test if you think you are pregnant. Only way to know.

Hey,
If you taking birth control regularly you shouldn't be pregnant, however, If you are worried I would suggest getting a pregnancy test even if you do get your period. Then if it is positive stop taking birth control.
Hope this is some help
good luck :)

 If you miss a pill or two and get pregnant, you will still miss your period. That's where the 98% figure comes from, actually - lots of girls forget (or "forget") to take it once in a while. Taken religously, it's closer to 99.9% effective.

 Hey sweetie.
If your taking the pill properly and reguarly etc you shouldn't get pregnant. The pill has like a 98% (or something near to that figure) chance of working so you shouldn't really get pregnant if taking it correctly. And as for the period, it depends on the type of pill that your taking and your body itself- I've heard stories of monthly periods being taken twice or not coming at all. It varies, but what I will say is stick out the irregularity- apparently it all becomes normal after 6-8 months if you do have any problems.
hope it goes okay :)

 You will not get a period. I'm no expert, but I think I've read where when you're pregnant and you're on the pill, you're advised to stop taking the pill throughout the remainder of the pregnancy. Take a pregnancy test and/or see your doctor!
