Could I be pregnant even though I'm on my period? If I'm pregnant, would my period stop bleeding right away? I've been on birth control for 3 months now and I make love to my boyfriend a lot. Well, my birth control told me to stop taking it during my period...so I did. I was under the impression that you could't get pregnant on your cycle so we still had sex over the weekend, but without protection. Just yesterday, I found out that you still can get pregnant on your cycle and I'm worried. I haven't been able to sleep very well letely, been waking up with headaches and dizzyness. Things don't taste right, particulary drinks. What scared me the most is my stress factor rising-My face has broken out with pimples & my mouth is infammed with 4 ulsers and a lie-bump. Could all of this just be a coincidence? I've been known to get sick b/c of stress before. Well, my pills said to start back on them on Sunday even though I am still bleeding. Now we want to get a home test but will it work when I'm on the pills? And if I did get pregnant from the weekend, wouldn't my cycle stop? It hasn't & I'm scared

Summarized question: Can you get pregnant while during your period while on birth control? Will a pregnancy test still work if you're taking birth control?
