Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

First of all, I want you to relax. Many women who have been on low-dose birth control pills skip a period once and a while, because the pill is designed to give you light periods, and sometimes it works too well.

To be safe, however, you should perform an over-the-counter pregnancy test to provide reassurance.

If you do accidentally conceive while taking birth control pills, you should know that the medication has no affect on a developing fetus.

I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that this information was helpful.

Best wishes,

Dr. Brown
