I’m about to go on the pill (the combined pill-21days) when you bleed for the 7 days does that mean you are not pregnant?

I’m afraid not, it’s just a withdrawal bleed meaning your body hasn’t done it in 21 days so will immediately start the process when you stop taking the pill. You’d have to take a pregnancy test to check for pregnancy. However if you have taken your pill religiously then you should be fine!
