Asking about the pill and pregnancy again...

Caseyface

I posted last month about being on the pill and missing one pill which i had done by accident but i took it within 12 hours of missing it, i got lots of good advice off you lovely ladies and my period proceeded as normal.

I started taking my new pack again after my period and not missed one, i was due on Tues/Wed this week (i am like clockwork) It is now Thurs and i have had no blood, merely a browny discharge. I had been getting cramps very low down before my period (i know this is normal) but i'm now worrying myself because i haven't had my usual period. I have had light periods now and again but still with signs of blood, this time feels a bit different, i don't know why.

I have been on the pill since i was 15 (i am now 26) and it's not let me down yet. I feel daft for posting again, i feel a little sick. I'm due to restart my pill tomorrow.

Should i just head for a pregnancy test or what?

Thanks a bunch.

Stress can cause you to miss a period or for it to be much lighter, so if you have been worrying about this, then that could be the problem.

I f you want to put your mind at ease, then take a test and see what happens, and good luck with whatever the outcome may be

Thanks MM

I have been feeling quite stressed about various things this month, maybe that's the cause. I appreciate your advice though, thanks.

Do a test - it's the only way you'll know for sure.

As your period is already overdue you could do a cheapie - Home Bargain/Quality Save type shops have them for 99p.

Hello Caseyface

I remember your last post - I wouldn't think it would hurt to take a pg test if that will put your mind at rest but I would think it would just be your body adjusting after missing the pill from the last pack.
Can't remember what brand you were taking but I found if I was ever late taking one sometimes my periods were a bit messed up.
If it were me I'd take a test just to put my mind at rest though x

Thanks everyone

I guess i will head to a shop on my way home from work, otherwise i'm just going to be worrying myself silly.

I will keep you posted.:o

When I missed a pill and was over 12 hours since missed it (but within 24) I went and asked for morning after pill - they wouldn't give it as they said although 12 hours is recommended 24 hours is fine - I wasn't pregnant, the most 'risky' one to miss is the first and last one of the packet

I was on the pill for over 10 years and found that I had very light periods at the end - maybe that's what's happening? For peace of mind, I'd get a pregnancy test...

Well, i did the test, it's a negative.

Thanks for all your help (again) i guess i must have just been extremely light this month.
