Pregnancy, Pill, Periods

[https://users.livejournal.com/-thoughtfox/]

This is something I've been wondering about for a while. If your 'period' when you're on the pill isn't actually a real period, would you still miss it if you became pregnant? Or would you carry on bleeding for as long as you kept taking the pill while pregnant? If the latter, how are you supposed to detect pregnancy early on if you're still having 'periods'?

What I'm essentially asking is: do you miss your period if you get pregnant while on the pill?

eh--- it's not exactly a "real" period. It's progesterone-withdrawal bleeding, not a true menstrual period. But if you're saying it's still shedding some uterine lining & thus it would have the same effect of aborting a pregnancy, I guess that's mainly accurate.
