IN my humble opinion and with my limited understanding of the female reproductive system, if you've had 2 periods between sex and now, the only way you could be pregnant would be a tubular pregnancy. If this was so, 5 months down the road, I believe you would be in so much pain that you'd need an ambulance to get you to the hospital, PDQ.
I know someone who was on the Pill and taking it properly, got her periods as usual, and didn't find out she was pregnant until she went into labour. She didnt put on weight until maybe the last few weeks - she was skinny, and just started to look a tad rounder, barely noticable. She had a healthy little girl.
It's not very common, but it is a possibility.
OP: if you're concerned that you may be pregnant, take a test, either at home or through a doctor. Weight gain can be rapid for many reasons other than pregnancy, btw.
Those aren't normal periods on the pill, you know, they're a withdrawal bleed when the hormone dose is stopped for a few days so we're all fooled our bodies are still behaving normally with artificial hormones.
It is possible to get pregnant on the pill, although unusual, and still have what appear to be periods. No-one knows the long term effect on a foetus of artificial hormones during pregnancy
It creates the obvious misunderstanding that if the woman gets pregnant while on the pill and keeps taking it, the withdrawal bleeds will fool her into thinking she's not pregnant: results, one unwanted pregnancy possibly picked up too late for an abortion = one unwanted child and/or foetus damaged by artificial hormones
I completely fail to see the connection between calling it a period and the continued use of the pill. The two are not inter linked. If the woman does not believe herself to be pregnant because she is having a withdrawal bleed, calling it a withdrawal bleed or a period is not going to influence her continued use of the pill. If she thinks she might be pregnant, she would hopefully have the sense/knowledge to stop, regardless of whether she considers it a period or a withdrawal bleed. In the specific scenario I mentioned, "period" is the terminology the woman used, and as she did not have any symptoms to make her think she was pregnant, hence the continuation of the pill. Calling it a withdrawal bleed would not have made her think, "Well hey, maybe my pill isn't working and I'm pregnant".
Perhaps I'm missing your point, but I really don't see what terminology has to do with this.
How did I know it would be you who "knew somebody"? I must be clairvoyant!
Hey everybody, charli.m has once again 'proved' me wrong. Ain't life fucking great?
You made no mention of me going to make a comment, imbecile. Additionally, I didn't "prove you wrong," you over sensitive arsewipe.
Do you get butt hurt over absolutely everything? Please indicate where exactly this was an attack on you. Why are you so offended by people, particularly those you don't like, having information about alternative options?
Is it normal that I had Sex almost 5 months ago and..?

I think you meant to say in MY humble opinion...Emphasis on the in just seems misplaced.

Yes, I know that. But "withdrawal bleed" takes longer to type and people understand "period" better.
