Newbie needs advice!

[maggiesmum]

Hi everyone, im new and need a bit of help. This doesnt really belong in TTC but i thought you guys would be the best to ask since you seem to talk more about symptom spotting etc. I've been with my boyfriend 5 and a half years, been on the pill for 4 years and my periods have been exactly the same every month, i usually stop the pill on a sunday for the 7 day break and get AF (or withdrawal bleed) from the following friday morning until the wednesday after. I have been like clockwork since starting the pill. However, this month i've been feeling so bloated and icky and crampy which isnt normal for me at all. I didnt think i was going to come on but eventually did on the friday night but it only lasted until sunday morning and was very different to my usual period, it was really light and very red with no clots or anything (tmi i know sorry) basically i just dont feel right this month, really tired and headachey too and wanted to know if i could be pregnant? I mixed my days up with the pill earlier in the month but didnt think this would make a difference. I dont want to buy a test because it seem so surreal and i've just got a thing in my head making me think i couldnt be! any advice would be great and sorry for the long post.

Hi, just to let you know i did a digital test and it was negative. This was the best result all round really as me and OH are still students so only work part time and dont even live together, not the best situation to bring a baby into! Though it would have been loved =] i will be going to the doctors about my dodgy period and weird feelings so at least i'll be able to tell him then that i've already ruled pregnancy out! this is a great forum and i'll be back when i am TTC because it's so helpful and i've loved reading about peoples babies etc! Thanks again for reading!

hi there

glad it was the right result for you hunny. sometimes periods are effected by stress, do you have something on your mind? or if you were feeling off colour anyway that could have effected your period that one occasion. all the best on your course, look forwrd to seeing you back when you ready to ttc

Hiya, erm no im not particularly stressed i dont think, it's strange because they've always been exactly the same, right down to starting and finishing within the hour most of the time lol! I'm going to speak to the doctor about coming off the pill anyway, mainly to give myself a break from it and see if my body still works lol!! I was 15 when i went on it so can't really remember how it was. Thanks for the advice and good luck to you all who are trying xxx
