To the Dr.- Sorry, it was pretty confusing, all I meant to ask is that if I had conceived (but not tested positive yet) and THEN went on birth control pills because i didn't know I was pregnant, would I still get the telltale sign of missed periods, even though I am on the pill? I heard that if you are on the pill,even if you are pregnant you still get menstrual periods so you won't even know you are pregnant until other symptoms arise... At Sat, 31 Mar 2001, Harvey S.
