Yes, this can occur. You need to restart taking birth control pills, and use condoms for the next 4 weeks to prevent pregnancy from occurring.

When on your last week of birth control pills do you take all of them even if your not on your period?

This answer comes from my gyno:

The sugar pills are simply "reminder" pills. They are included in the pack so that you can stay on schedule and not have a hard time remembering to take the active pills once you start week 1 for the next month. If it helps you, you can take one sugar pill each day at the same time you would take your normal pill. What I do is simply throw one sugar pill away every day of that 4th week, but i do that at the same time I would take my active pills so that once I begin the active pills again I remember to take them at that time every day (granted, I have a terrible memory!). Whether or not you're actually bleeding is irrelevant.

If you miss a period after being on the pill for a number of months does that mean you're pregnant?

No. If you have taken your pill everyday as you should have and didn't skip any pills your chance of getting pregnant is slim. If you did skip/miss pills yes there is a chance.

How can you put off your period from coming you are on the birth control pill?

Ordinarily birth control pills do not "put off" or eliminate the menstrual period. Some women using depo provera (injections) do not have their menstrual periods while on that medication.

What if you started a pill pack three days late?

Then do not have unprotected sex until you start your next pill pack...ON TIME.

When taking birth control if you miss an active pill the day before you start your inactive pills and dont remember you didnt take the active pill and you get your period a day early now what?

Forget about it. Continue taking your pills as normal (don't take the missed pill). If you are actually worried about pregnancy, don't be too concerned. Your period will probably take care of things naturally.
