I am on the pill but forgot to take it on day 13 (8 days ago) and had 'special cuddles' on that day. I have contined to take the pill, have 2 days left then I get my AF 2-3 days later. The thing is im feeling really nauseous (sp?) Could I be pregnant?? or maybe im just reading to much into it and it could be just a bug?
Would I still skip my AF if I did happen to be pregnant being still artifical because of the pill? Sorry I dont know much about this

Depending on which pill you are on, it takes 7-14 days for the pill to become effective again if missed even once. So if you continued to have "special cuddles" after missing it that one time, there is a good chance that you are pregnant. My SIL was sick at xmas and was throwing up, so of course her pill was coming up too. She is now 18 weeks pregnant. Sorry to freak you out. Good luck and be sure to let us know. ------------- http://www.cushytush.co.nz - |

Well it's possible..
I didn't miss a day, but I was half a day late in taking a pill and that month I got pregnant. But it could just be a bug as well. Just do a test in a few days to be sure! |

| I have also been extremely tired the last 2 days, nearly falling asleep on the couch at 9pm which is unlike me, I usally have the most energy at night (im not a morning person). So im starting to think maybe I am!? not that I would be worried about it, we were possibly going to start TTC after this month anyway. |

There is one way to find out. 
Take a test! We love hearing about new pregnancies here!! |

That is true.. 
Sorry, I was jumping the gun and getting excited. Good luck though for when it's not too early to test!

CAn't hurt to take a test, then you would know now if you are pregnant. If it is a neg then wait a few more days and do another one. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| Remember if it is a bug and you dont want to get pregnant (I'm assuming that why your on the pill) that your pill can be less effective if you are throwing up or have the runs. |

I havnt been throwing up or had the runs, just been feeling nauseous and tired. |

I get nauseous and very tired each month, to the extent that I convince myself I'm pregnant, despite there being no chance lol.. so you could very well just be getting your AF, the symptoms are pretty much the same  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I was going to say the same thing as meow. My pre-menstrual symptoms are so similar to early pregnancy symptoms, and both times I was preggy the thing that tipped me off was really sore boobies. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

| I dont normally get nauseous or tired when i'm premenstrual. If I do get any premenstrual symptoms I dont get them until I have finished the 28days of pills (which I have 2 days to go) and even then I only get crampy tummy. |

I was conceived even when my mum was on the pill lol.
She was showing neg results until 5months pregs, doc thought it oculdve been cause of her being on the pill causing the neg result in the test. I noticed after having haleigh my pains changed from month to month esp when i was on the pill. maybe test about when you are due for AF then if that neg and if AF doesnt arrive test again. Good luck

If you're planning to start TTC anyway then I'd stop the pill from now, just in case you are pg then you don't want to be putting all that stuff into your body. -------------  |

Date Posted: 07 May 2007 at 4:49pm
I was planning on not taking the last 2 days worth, and I will just have to wait and see what happens with AF. So when would be the earliest I could test?? still in 4 days when AF would be due, or could I possibly get a positive result (if im preg) earlier if I stop taking the pill now? |
Posted By: busymum
Date Posted: 07 May 2007 at 7:18pm
Well you can get a positive test now but it's possible to be pg at this stage and the test will come up BFN still for another week. Generally you will get an accurate test in the week AF is due (go for in 5 days time  )------------- |

Wait 5 days to test, I dont think I could wait that long!!

Yea I know, I'm like that too! But then I tell myself, "if it's BFN you'll just convince yourself that you tested too early and really are pg" lol
But if you have a spare just in case.... ------------- |

there are two tests out (discovery, and cystral clear) and they both pick up from 4 days before af is due...they pick up from 15 instead of the 25-50 that the others pick up, but they arent sold in the supermarkets and not all chemist have them ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Kazzle, I couldn't find any of the ones you recommended but I brought a 2 test kit called QuickStick, it says it can be used as early as 7-10 days after conception (I would now be 9). But it does say to use first morning urine if testing that early....so now I have to wait for tomorrow morning, if I can wait that long

ohhh not heard of quick stick, let me know what you think of them...lol

I've used the quick stick (its what they use at your GP), and you don't necessarily have to wait for morning urine - what it is is the CONCENTRATION of the urine, so alternatively you can not drink fluids for a couple of hours, wait until you need to pee, and then try and the result is just as accurate. But morning pee is the very best, I guess for the MOST accurate result. However, I couldn't wait, and got a faint positive and was only 3 weeks preggers...Good luck, anyway! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

you may find that you tested too early...so i would wait a couple of days...
and if its still a bfn then go to the doctors and get some bloods done ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I've got a doctors appointment at 4pm today. I have also been feeling a bit consipated today (sorry if TMI) so my tummy has been feeling a little crampy today, possibly from that but I cant help thinking 'maybe I am getting AF' but at the same time it doesnt feel the same and the cramping is only when I feel I need to go loo. (sorry TMI again). ARGG this is doing my head in....reading into everything my body is doing

I'm always the opposite at the time of AF, I get kinda diarroha(sp?) for the couple of days before and the first 1-2 days of AF. Sorry TMI

TMI to follow.........
This afternoon I went to the loo, and when I wiped there was a little bit of brown discarge, implantation??? AF coming maybe?? usually when AF arrives it just starts with red blood quite heavyish so cant say its normal for me. I dont think I had implantation bleeding with my last pregnancy. Sorry again for the TMI |

Date Posted: 09 May 2007 at 6:34pm
| So.....I went to the docs today, another BFN preg test there, so its off for bloods tomorrow. She seems to think all my symptoms are pointing towards pregnancy....so will just have to wait and see what the bloods say and see if AF turns up or not! |

I have my fingers crossed for you jamesmum.
My second pregnancy test that I did at the doctors came back negative after a first very faint home test. Turned out it was because I had drank to much fluid. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Doctor said its probably to early to get a BFP on a HPT as I stoped taking the pill 2 days early so my AF really wouldnt be due for another 2 days. |

just wondering if you have done the bloods and if you have the results back
hope you are not like wellington where you have to wait up to 4 days to get the results ------------- http://lilypie.com">
