Hello dear
Understand your concern
Pregnancy is possible in 0.5-1 % case as birth control pill is highly effectively in preventing the pregnancy. (if took regularly without missing any tablet).
Light bleeding may be due to side effect of birth control pill or prperation stage of menstruation.
If your period will be delayed by 8-10 days from the normal expected period date then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy. If you will become pregnant then still you can terminate the pregnancy by abortion pill under the advice of gynecologist.
Hope this may help you
