How do i tell the difference between withdrawal bleeding from lack of bc and period bleeding?

Question

Okay long story short. I’ve been missing bc pills left and right and well I started bleeding today but didn’t know which is which 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also. I’m scared that I could be preggo. Would I still withdrawal bleed if I was pregnant? Or no?

Answer

Withdrawal bleed is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a bleed triggered by withdrawing from hormones. 
You won’t get a withdrawal bleed when pregnant. Well, you won’t typically get one. The hormone levels would be about the same or higher during pregnancy, which would cause you to not get a withdrawal bleed.

Answer

Yes you can still withdrawal bleed if you're pregnant. That's why a period on the pill doesn't automatically mean you're not pregnant.
