Periods and birth control

Hi,
I was wondering if withdrawal bleeding which you have on birth control also means you're not pregnant? I am confused about ovulation and periods on birth control.

Thank you

Hi Pandapalmtree,

Yes, a withdrawl bleed while on the pill indicates that you're not pregnant. You can learn more about how the pill works in this article: How do birth control pills really work, even during the placebo period?
