Hi,
No. I don't think that there is chances of getting pregnant. This condition may be due to irregular shedding of endometrial tissue or there may be associated hormonal irregularities like thyroid hormone disorder. I would suggest you to have a thyroid profile test done and continue with birth control pills.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
