I'm religious about taking the pills, no illness, normally run 3 packs back to back.

So where is my fake period?

Dtd on 2nd. Would a test pick it up? POAS tonight nothing but could it be too early? Or am I paranoid?

They are expensive but I found that you get a more accurate result much earlier with them.

The cheap tests were still showing negative a week later than the CBD one showed a positive, and a mid priced one that wasn't digital showed a couple of faint dots rather than a positive line three days after the CBD showed a definite positive.

So for peace of mind and an early result I think they are worth it.

I hope you get the result you want.

I got pregnant on the pill..three times in fact. Only twice on microgynon..Doc had given me the super-dooper pill when I caught with the third shock

Doctor explained to me that apparently because the pill is a daily 'dose' of hormones the level fluctuates in your body from day to day and as a result some people may find that if they don't take it at the same time every day it allows a window of opportunity pregnancy wise.

Don't do the implant though, while it offers regular and therefore 'safer' contraception me and almost everyone I've spoken to went a little bit psycho on that.

Oh giraffes I've taken packs 3 in a row back to back for years and have never been told it increases anything other than the slight risk of some breakthrough bleeding, I don't believe it increases the chances of pregnancy any more than bleeding every pack.

I am probably not and don't think it wouldtt have occurred to me if it wasn't for this thread! Will see how I feel over next few days hate the cost of the expensive ones!!!
