Hi all - would appreciate some advice if you don't mind.
I was using Microgynon 30 for about 5 years, but decided to change a month and a bit ago as I felt it was making me really over sensitive around my period, as I kept having silly arguments with my boyfriend. Doctor changed me onto Loestrin to see if a lower dose of hormones would help me. A couple of days after starting this packet I had a breakthrough bleed which was bright red. Continued with the packet as normal as had read about breakthrough bleeds being common when swapping Pills. Kept having breakthrough bleeds though they were normally dark red/brown. Only for a couple of days at a time but my normal period only lasts 4 days anyway. I was getting near the end of my packet when I forgot to take a pill at my usual time, so took that one and the next one when I remembered. I read about doing this before and they said it's OK as long as you start another packet consequentially. So I did. This coincided with my holiday and I was very annoyed that I had a breakthrough bleed (basically a period) for 3-4 days of my holiday! I kept taking the pills as normal until I got to the end of my packet the Thursday before last week. I didn't get a period but didn't think too much about it as my body has been messed up. My breasts have been really sore and painful, mainly the nipples really, during taking the packet.
Anyway I went to the doctor last Tuesday to ask to try another Pill as this one obviously doesn't suit me. Mentioned to him about all the breakthroughs and the fact I haven't come on and he said he'd do a blood test (I also mentioned I was tired - though I've had anemia before so it could be this again). He said he'd get them to do a pregnancy test at the same time. This has made me really scared.
Today at lunch time I was eating half a pizza with boyfriend. Didn't taste great but then it's only a cheap one. I was thinking about getting something else to eat when I suddenly started to feel sick. My tummy also has a sort of churning feeling too. I still feel sick now. I have had some dinner but that hasn't made my sickness any worse or better. I'm worried as my boyfriend doesn't feel sick so it can't have been the pizza. I don't think it was anyway though.
Really starting to feel scared now. Won't get my test results until Tuesday and I'm really freaking out
*deep breath* Does it sound like I may be pregnant?
