Can Pregnancy Happen While On Birth Control Pills?

Hi, I started taking Birth control for my first time and while I was on it I randomly stopped taking it before I finished the Pack. While I was off the pill I had sex with my partner a few times without any type of protection. After 3 days later I had my period. Can I possibly be pregnant even though I had my period. I waited for my period to end until I started my new pack of Birth Control. I have experienced Breast Tenderness and I have had morning sickness a few times. I am almost done with my pack of Birth control pills for this month. Can I be pregnant?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
Actually oral contraceptives need to be taken very regularly.. as prescribed . at a fixed time of day.
You had missed few pills in first cycle.. had withdrawal bleeding & completed rest of the pills while you continued to bleed. You started new pack &have finished that too.... with morning sickness &sore breast !
It has created complete confusion.break in taking pills .. creates possibility of conception. Though signs of breast tenderness & nausea suggest.. pregnancy needs to be confirmed by urine pregnancy test after 8 days delay in menses.
In case test is +ve please get MTP done with gynecologist's advise.
Thx.
