Maybe give some free advice about: Birth Control Pills?
While this is a question you should pose to your doctor the most probable answer is: Probably not.
The red pills are a form of placebo pill that are there to allow you to stay on track with you pills. They have less medication in them so that you get a period. This is why you get your period on the 4th day of the red pills. When you start back on the regular pills you period stops.
For 80% of women they are most fertile between the 7th and w1st day of their cycle. This is when your ovary should eject an egg for fertilization. Since it is during this time you are on the full strength of your birth control medication conception does not take place.
For the remaining 20% of women they can be fertile during any part of their cycle. This is why it is important to discuss this question with your doctor and find out just when you are fertile.
Knowing when is helpful to know even though the birth control medication does not stop working immediately upon cessation of the medication. When you want to start a family it will most likely take two to three months before the medication is totally out of your system and you can conceive.
