I last had sex about 10 weeks ago, I am on the pill and during my 2 "Pill free" weeks I have had slight bleeding, but not as heavy as my usual period. I have taken 4 home pregnancy tests over the last 6 weeks and all have been negative. However I have been feeling sick and dizzy for a few weeks and am worried I may be pregnant. I know that home tests are supposed to be 99% accurate, and surely 4 cannot all be wrong. Am I just paranoid?

I am absolutely sure you are being paranoid, even if there are people who will tell you otherwise.
Reasons why:
1) the pill is over 99% effective if taken properly
2) if you were pregnant you wouldn't get bleeding on your pill free weeks before (even slight bleeding) because the pregnancy hormones would over-ride the drop in pill hormones, which cause you to bleed in your pill free days.
3) Pregnancy tests are 99% reliable when used in the time frame you are talking about
4) Feeling sick and dizzy could be for 100 reasons other than pregnancy. I used to regularly feel sick for half the winter for no apparent reason.
Relax - You aren't pregnant!

You are just worried 4 tests can not be wrong same times you feel sick because you are paranoid. I have two kids in between they have 3 years diff rent and i was on pill for 6 years i used to get paranoid like you but i hope it turns out the way you want to it be .

I once didn't have a period for 3 months, I did so many tests, all saying negative. i wasn't pregnant- as the tests said, and eventually I went back to normal with my cycle- mine was due to quick weight loss and living in a new country. At ten weeks, the test would pick up on the hormone if you were, the sickness and dizziness would definitely make sense if you were unwell in some department- whether it be stress, emotionally or phsycially. Every day some one asks if they are pregnant on here, and every time the answer is, ultimately, only a doctor can tell you. good luck

Well I am told that you are still protected in your pill free days and ive never fallen pregnant while on them. The fact that you have been feeling sick and dizzy might be due to something else and needs looking into.
Paranoids yes but pregnant you are not. If the pregnancy hormone is in your urine then you will get a positive result. If not then you are not pregnant and its as simple as that. They are accurate so stop wasting your money and relax, unless of course you want to get pregnant. Be safer and use a condom if youre worried.

You are probably being paranoid but if it makes you feel better you can go to a doctor and get a blood test which is 100% accurate.
Both tests are looking for certain hormones that your body produces when you are pregnant. Your urine can dilute the hormone and the test is not as sensitive as a blood test.
It is possible that you were pregnant and miscarried without knowing in which case you would have very very low levels of the hormones and hav the symptons of being pregnant.

You are not likely pregnant, but your hormones may be out of whack. See a doctor. Why did you have 2 pill-free weeks? This may be the source of your issues. I thought you were just supposed to take sugar pills for 5 days or 7 days.

You could or could not when I found out I was pregnant was on like 6th test all the ones before were negative but I knew that I had to be pregnant so I kept on and sure enough, I will have a baby the end of April beginning of May.
And another little note one of my good friends that is due like a week after was on birth control at the time.

You are probably just paranoid. Some people actually go on the pill because it causes you to have lighter periods. You probably should make an appointment with the doctor though to have the dizziness checked out.

You need to go and get tested at your GP's. A blood test is the most accurate. While home pregnancy tests can be effective they only test the hormone in your urine. In early pregnancy there sometimes isn't enough hormone for the test to detect it. A blood test is the best bet and if nothing else will put your mind at ease.
