Can you become pregnant having irregular periods but are on birth control for three months?

Answer 1

Yes. I've never had regular periods and I got pregnant with my first son on accident, then after trying for a year for another one, my husband and I went to a fertility doctor, I was put on a drug called clomid and I conceived fraternal twins in less than three cycles after I started! It's important to find out if you're ovulating when you actually do have a period, because if you ovulate you can get pregnant! Clomid is the drug that makes you ovulate if you aren't, so ask your doctor about it if you have several negative ovulation tests. Good luck!!

Answer 2

Getting pregnant does not depend on when/how long you menstruate but rather on when you ovulate. When you have an irregular cycle you are less likely to know when you are ovulating, and therefore more likely to get pregnant unexpectedly or to have difficulty conceiving. If you do not want to get pregnant, your best bet is to use contraception all the time or to find out when you are ovulating and abstain on your fertile days. If you do want to get pregnant you may want to start taking your temperature daily to detect ovulation, using ovulation predictor kits (available at any pharmacy), and charting your cycle. You can find out more about fertility and ovulation and how to get pregnant (or avoid getting pregnant) naturally from the book "Taking Charge of your Fertility." An irregular cycle may indicate that you are not ovulating at all and/or that you have cysts on your ovaries (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom). You may want to have this checked out by a doctor.

Answer 3

As long as Birth Control pills are taken regularly (meaning: like a clockwork), they ought to be closer to 100% "sure". But in some cases you can become pregnant anyway. If you're on antibiotics, you could take extra care, because sometimes your body doesn't take up the hormone in as great amounts as it normally does. What you can do then is take the pill on exactly the same time every day. And sometimes you just become pregnant, become one of those few who have taken all the extra measures but find themselves staring at a blue line anyway. This fraction of women is disappearingly small, but it reminds us that no method is 100% "safe" (other than total abstinence).

Answer 4

No, the fact that you are having a period means you are shedding the lining of your uvula. That means no chance for a baby. If your period is irregular however you should go see a doctor, if you are on birth control because of your irregular period you should REALLY go see your doctor. Tell him about what is happening, maybe your body isn't reacting well with the type of medicine your taking and that would be very dangerous for your health.

Answer 5

While birth control often helps regulate menstruation, it's not a guarantee. Not all birth control types work on a specific person, either.

It's not uncommon for periods to be irregular while taking birth control, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If you feel that there may be something more serious going on, contact your Doctor. Diagnosis is best preformed by a trained physician who can physically monitor and check you. If you have and doubts about your medication and it's effects, see your doctor.
