Hi I hope you can help. I am 30 years old and usually top notch at raking my pill. Pregnancy scares are very rare for me. I've been on the pill for years. I had my regular period from Monday 9th feb to Saturday 14th feb, I should have started my new pill pack (Trinovum) on Saturday 14th but my chemist forgot to order and couldn't collect until the Wednesday 18th feb. So I was 3 days late taking it. I finally started my new pill the Wednesday evening and been taking normally ever since but me and my husband had sex Saturday 21st feb without extra protection and my nurse advised me to take extra precautions. But we got caught in the moment as we wouldn't usually need to worry. I "THINK" it also would have been my ovulation time during that week according to my app.. My next period isn't due until 9th March. I am now worried... What are the chances I'm pregnant? Thank you
been spotting very light pinkish brown discharge these past two days, aunt flow was suppose to be here on the 16th .. It's only when I wipe though. Is it my period?! Got a BFN this morning but all month I just felt off ... I hope AF stays away and I get a BFP soon.. 13 DPO.. Anyone experience this .. Please share ?
Ok a year ago in October I had my tubes tied and everything. This last month I started having issues with my stomach constantly being nauseated, sore br--st plus they have increased in size, been overly tired and want to do nothing but also. When my period came it was just two days long then stopped. I normally last 5 to 7 days very heavy from day 2 to say 4 (6 on 7 day ones) but I had none of that. It was short and no where near as heavy as it normally would be. Had a physical don't at the beginning of the month and was all good. I am a mom of five with three being mine and have never had this happen. The others I just knew I was but while its not likely my gut says I am one of the ones that the tubes tied didn't work. Any ideas?
I went off the pill one month ago, august, as I was having ALOT of hormone changes. My mood swings were wicked and my acne has broken out like I just hit puberty again! My nails have been growing awesome in the last month of being off it and my hair is extra shinny but now I am supposed to get my period (yesterday) and no sign other then cramps in my stomach and legs and my breasts are swollen and sore and to make matters even better my nipples feel like they are on fire. I don't usually experience the nipple burning sensation but my boobs do usually swell at my period time. I am kind of nervous I could be pregnant as me and my boyfriend had sex two weeks ago and he forgot I went off the pill and he didn't pull out in time. YES I KNOW I SHOULD USE CONDOMS...but I didn't so can someone advise if they think I could be pregnant for is this is just a coincidence with symptoms from going off the pill...I know some people do not get a regular period for a while after going off.
