Please advise - likelihood of being pregnant?

[Stressyhead]

Hi all, I wonder if any of you could advise me please. I'll keep this as short as I can. Hubby and I are looking to conceive, I stopped taking microgynon in January this year and since then have had no periods. I had usual withdrawal bleed in January but nothing since then. Hubby and I have DTD on several occasions in March (last time 1st April) and 2 weeks ago noticed some pink/brown spotting when wiping (sorry if TMI!) since then, I've had nausea, some little cramping here and there, headaches and feels like I'm being stretched down there if that makes sense. Hubby wants me to do a preg test tomorrow and I think I should wait another week but what do u guys think? Do u think I could be pregnant or am I just being silly? Would love to hear your thoughts. Xx

The symptoms are there but they are also known to be period symptoms too... i would test to be certain hun but fingers crossed!!

Well I'm dubious because I haven't had the sore boobs that the majority of people seem to get, I've also been getting really big spots on my face (chin especially) and really embarrassing - I've had dark hair grow on my upper lip!! Not pretty as u can imagine lol is this still period signs? Ive been on microgynon for 10 years so I'm hoping it's out of my system by now. please advise x

You don't need sore breast symptoms to be pregnant - sometimes there's no signs (excepting missed period) at all!

It seems worth testing now if you ask me xx (esp if you feel you are going to the loo more often than usual)

only way to know is to test preg symptoms are so much like af ones, i think ur getting preg symptoms then a test should pick it up if u are pregnant but do a gd test like a frer or superdrugs own brand xx

I was taking microgynon before I had my DS, I stopped taking it 17th Dec 2010, had a withdrawal bleed then, my period started 19 Jan 2011 and I got pregnant on that cycle so ovulated end of jan/early feb! It is very possible...I was taking it for about 9 years! It seems like a good pill to take as it obviously gets out of your system very quickly Good luck testing xx

Hi All,

Well I ended up doing a test on Friday morning and got a even though it's not been very long since we started trying the disappointment was overwhelming

I guess all I can do now is try and get my periods back to normal and try again. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this? I stopped the pill in January and haven't had a true period apart from a withdrawal bleed and some spotting last month.

I really would appreciate some advice right now as me and hubby are in limbo at the moment and we don't know what to do.

xx

Hi there, welcome to the forum.

I was also on Microgynon from the age of 14 to 22 and came off it in January 2011. I was lucky that my period did return to 'normal' fairly soon after stopping it but it did take me 9 months to conceive (sadly this ended in mc) I am now pregnant again (over a year after stopping the pill) and all is well.
I read up on Microgynon when I was making the decision to come off and it can take up to a year for your fertility to return to normal I'm afraid
I would say go to your GP and advise that you are still yet to have a period.
This is just my experience, obviously everyone is different. I wish you the best of luck xxxx

Sorry I am new to all this forum stuff.I was on the pill until 27th march. Had my usual monthly 19th march until 23rd.
Then had a bleed on the 29th march, quite heavy for a week (due to not taking pill anymore I guess). For the last week or so I have had slight stomach craps, back ache, sticky feel, needing to wee more. The last few days very sore nipples, today boobs very sore & achy. Not sure when my period would be due, so not sure when to test? If its still too early?


Any advice would be really appreciated
