Advice Please

Hi All,

After some advice - I'm sorry I don't know all the abbreviations yet

I came off the pill in April. My last period was 19th -23rd May. I've done three tests (haven't done one with morning wee though). All came back negative.

I'm worried why I still haven't started my period. I'm suffering from a lot of tiredness, constant need to go to the toilet and a lot of discomfort/aching pain and what feels like bloating.

I've got an appointment with doc on Thursday but I'm just getting really worried due to the pain/discomfort. Not sure whether it would be worth a trip to A&E?

Any thoughts on why this might be happening?

Thanks

Sarah

Hi Sarah welcome to the forum

Sometimes it can take awhile for the pill to get out of your system and for your body to get back to normal. You might be experiencing a long first cycle off the pill or alternatively you may be pregnant

Try a morning wee test on Thursday in case you get a BFP (big fat positive). Then you can tell the doctors when you see them (unless of course you are experiencing a large amount of pain, in which case get yourself to A&E).

I am currently 8 days late and I am experiencing quite uncomfortable bloating at the moment. All my tests have been negative but I have an appointment with the nurse practitioner this Friday. I have heard that it takes longer for the pregnancy hormones to build up in some women which results in quite a few BFNs (big fat negatives) on their tests. The doctors should be able to do a blood test which show show a greater accuracy.

Good luck, hope you get your BFP
