I think I might be pregnant I missed most of my pill packet.
I had sex on 26th december and my period came after i had sex on the same day. it lasted for two days then disapeared.
began my pill again four days after my period and i stopped taking the pill last friday 15th jan
and i had what i thought was my period on monday 18th jan
it started off with brown blood then went into very light bleeding/spotting and sorry to sound disgusting but there was some cervical mucus that i only saw for one day. the bleeding/spotting lasted for 3 days.I usually have very heavy periods that last for 6-7 days.
I aven't got a clue when i ovulate or how often my period is so I'm a bit confused!
I am also very tired and I am getting terribel headaches and sinus problems.
I done a preg test two days ago but it was neg was it too early to test? when should i test?
Sorry if it is confusing!

Answer 2

Your on again/off again pattern with your pills will be making your cycle unpredictable. When the pill is used correctly you do not ovulate at all. It is the drop in hormones when you switch to the inactive pills in the packet that causes your period rather than ovulation that doesn't succeed in pregnancy. In addition to not ovulating, your period should be very regular and predictable while using the pill correctly.



It is unlikely that you are pregnant as you did not mention sex since the two rounds of spotting/bleeding. Your period was possibly lighter as you only had 21 days between periods rather than the usual 28 - there was not as much time to build a thick uterine lining. (The endometrium, what is shed when you have your period.)



I suggest discontinuing your pill for this month (on the off chance that you are pregnant) and waiting until your next period arrives and beginning a NEW pill packet fresh and being vigilant with taking it daily. In the meanwhile you should use a condom (or other barrier method of contraception) as you will not be protected with the few pills you have taken. If you are finding it hard to remember to take your pill regularly, try setting a reminder on your cell phone (even the most basic model I use which is 6 years old has a reminder function) or speaking to your doctor/gyno about a more permanent method of contraception such as an IUD or Implanon (hormonal strip inserted into your arm)



If you have any other pregnancy symptoms before your period arrives, or it does not arrive in 2 weeks, you should take another test, or see your doctor for a blood test.



Remember, the pill only works when it is taken DAILY and at a similar time for example each morning when you wake (depending on the pill, it may even need to be taken specifically at the SAME time - read the instructions that came with yours) and can be made ineffective by missing a pill, large amounts of alcohol, antibiotics, or stomach upsets (vomiting/diarrhoea.) Good luck!

We are each due across the equal time and sure i realise what you imply... I believe you have to wait a minimum of five extra days without a doubt to experiment otherwise you might do what i do and torture myself with doing one each and every different day even if i do know in my middle it's going to exhibit a terrible... I have emerge as fully obsessed...i truthfully not ever suggestion it might be this manner considering i have already got four children... I understand many who do the early assessments however exhibit up terrible simply on the grounds that they don't have sufficient hormones even for an early one...

Answer 4

the best advice I have for you right now is to talk with a doctor. He/She can do a blood test to confirm whether or not you really are pregnant.



But, it is possible that your body is just confused because you were missing the pill so much. So your on the pill then your off..... understand? it can mess with your body.



Whatever happens I hope it's what is best for you. Best of luck to you

Answer 5

I really think you should talk to a doctor, and it probably is too early to test.

The doctor will have all the answers, and I probably wouldn't trust a lot of these answers on these websites with a problem like this.

So talk to a doctor, and Good Luck.
