No. The hormones found in the birth control pill safely stop ovulation from happening. No ovulation means there's no egg for sperm to fertilize, so pregnancy can't happen. The hormones in birth control pills also thicken the mucus on your cervix, making it harder for sperm to swim to an egg.

The pill can be stopped at any time, but the menstrual cycle could take a few months to return to what is normal for you. Also, there is a risk of ovulation happening in the days after you stop taking the pill - if you do not want to get pregnant, it is very important to use another method of contraception.

My last period was on 1st october which lasted for 5 days. I had an intercourse with my husband on 10th october which I believe was the start of my ovulation window. But he ejaculated outside only still I took a contraceptive pill the next day. But in 19th october I started to get bleeding but there was not much flow. It was something like spotting only with black color blood. It lasted for total 3 days but comparing to my normal period days the flow is very less. My actual period date for this month was supposed to be 29th but I got bleeding from 19th. And I did not have any symptoms of being on period like leg aches stomach cramps which I usually have. My period usually lasts for 5 days. Today is 7th day but still my discharge is coming as brown on color. I had contraceptive pill during july and august after that I took this month only and this my first experience. Earlie when I took I got my period properly. Is this any sign of pregnancy? Or is it a withdrawal bleeding since I am using pills continuously? If so will I get my normal period this month as my actual period date is 29th october? Kindly respond and help me because we are not planning for a baby right now and need a solution for this.

You can take emergency contraception but the vital point is to know the day of your cycle when it happened. Whether it falls in dangerous or safe period is a relevant query before giving the green signal for that medicine. You can ask a doctor locally or get in touch with me online.

After taking the high hormonal emergency pill one gets withdrawal bleeding 5 to 10 days later, and then a new cycle starts.-new counting.
Presence of withdrawal bleeding means no pregnancy by sex prior to it.
If any doubt to do blood test serum hcg-beta 2 weeks after sex.
