More pregnancty symptoms...help!?

Question

Further to my Could I be Pregnant? post here i stated i have been on microgynon 30 since October, i take x3 packs of 21 continuously due to painful periods. I had unprotected sex a week ago. I take my pill every night give or take an hour or so. The night in question i took it 2 hours late. I had been feeling sick and having stomach pains. I now feel constantly hungry and my stomachs rumbling. I had horendous heartburn last night. SLight lower back pain and wierd stomach aches and twinges. Its too early to be taking a test yet, what do you think possibly pregnant or just over worried?

Sorry PREGNANCY - cant spell today, obviously!

Problem is i wont know if i miss a period for another 2 packs of bill because of the fact i take 3 packs in a row as my doctor prescribed

packs of pill - god my brains failing as well!

Please note i dont usually have these symptoms ever, but i didnt think you could get symptoms this early but i have been on pregnancy website like NHS Direct and its says you can get them this early

To Gem,

Were you using the pill correctly?

Answer 1

Just go to your doctor! The anxiety is worse than knowing; just go to a doctor and ask _them_ to give you an examinaiton and check if it is possible. If you were taking the pills normally, I would say (even with the two-hours-late thing) the probability of pregnancy would be zero-point-three-hundredths of a _percent_, but the way you've been taking them, I lack the knowledge. Go to a doctor and you can stop / start worrying for good.

Answer 2

Unless you are one of the very few people who have a kind of "immunity" to the pill, you are not pregnant.

There is no way 2 hours could make any kind of difference when taking the pill. I used to take my pill in the morning (I was on Microgynon too), but I didn't have a specific time, just any time before I went to work!

I am now trying for a baby with my boyfriend, and I thought I was pregnant not long ago. I had the exact same things as you, lower back pain, heartache, constant hunger, sickness... I think this must be the body playing "mind games", I wasn't pregnant, but as I was hoping to be, I saw symptoms where there weren't any. Your case is probably the other way around, you are worried about being pregnant, so symptoms appear for no reason.

Honestly, don't worry - if you have been taking the pill that regularly you are well protected.

Answer 3

You are probably not pregnant. You have 12 hours flexability with microgynon, I used to take it and know. It is likely that you are over stressed or perhaps have a stomach bug or infection, but not pregnancy. Very early pregnancy shows very few signs until the first few weeks anyway, so even if you were pregnant you wouldnt be having symptoms at this time. You are not pregnant, however I know what a worry it can be if you think you are. In a few weeks take a test and put your mind at rest.

Answer 4

It could just be that you have worked yourself up by worrying as all of these symptoms can be casued by other things besides pregnancy. It is not meant to be good to take the pill back to back constantly, and it could be more to do with the fact that your body has not been allowed to have a period for 3 months that is causing the back pain and stomach twinges.

Answer 5

it could be both best bet is go and get a test done 1 of the best 1s is the 1 that actually says pregnant or not pregnant have a look around you can get the 1s that show early signs of being pregnant. with most of the pills you have 12hrs to take it within if it's the mini-pill you only have 3. it's not 100% protection of not getting pregnant that's happened to a few people i know. if you don't want to fork out money for a test then go to your doctor,even if they know your family there they are not allowed to say anything

Answer 6

honey if you are so worried about it you should go and get a home pregnancy test kit or you can go to your own gp to get a pregnancy test done .The doctor will do it either with a blood test or urine test or both and if you have a urine test you will know in 5 minutes if you are pregnant and then he will discuss everything with you where you go from there. If you have a blood test you will know in 24 hours later if you are pregnant.

Answer 7

Well, whether you are pregnant or not, you are clearly over worried, try not to stress about it and wait to take your test when the time is right.
Chill out! If you are pregnant, you don't need the stress! Are you taking folic acid? I would start taking it if you already haven't, because its good for your baby, whilst doing you no harm if there isn't a baby inside you.

Good luck, honey!

Answer 8

I have been on the same pill for 7 years and I am constantly forgetting to take it - I have forgotten for 3 days once and been fine, so either you're worrying to much - or my reproductive organs are broken :)

Answer 9

Firstly STOP worrying if you are then you are it is highly unlikely but I'd go pay a visit to my doc and get him to check you out put your mind at rest but id advise you to go to see the doc asap as taking tablets if you do turn out to be pregnant can be harmful to the baby if there is one but don't worry as this can cause miscarriages just take it easy and dont stress to much.

Answer 10

contained in the beforehand months I frequently had issues that i did not favor to eat rather of easily yearning particular ingredients. Then i began to crave fruit, pretty pineapple and strawberries. I also needed handmade potato soup plenty. Now i love cereal and ice cream. I pretty a lot love something sweet!
