Is It Possible To Be Pregnant If I Am Taking Levlen And Still Getting A Withdraw Bleed?
Hello,
I was just wondering is it possible to be pregnant if i am taking Levlen and still getting a withdrawl bleed?
I have noticed my breasts have increased in size and are very tender but i am still having a withdrawl bleed, does this mean i am not pregnant?
Thanks
Sally

Hi.
Conception is not possible whilst having a withdrawal bleed, so I don't think pregnancy will be possible whilst on levlen, and not only that levlen is used to prevent pregnancy, so getting pregnant is not possible whilst on it.
As for the breast enlargement and tenderness, they are both side effects of the pill. So if you wish to get pregnant, then you need to discontinue the pill.
Best wishes.
