Hi all.
Details are a little hazy because I had written details in my diary, which last sunday was stolen along with my entire handbag whilst taking out loads of washing from laundrette. Car was locked in between each load be put in, but some horrid person threw a rock through passenger window and ran off with it! nice (not). So because everything that has gone on with this what happened at the beginning of April is now very much hazy. I hope you can still help :)
I am on Yasmin. 21 pills then 7 pill free days. I normally take pill in evening just before I go to bed. My 21st pill should have been on monday the 4th April. This is where it gets a bit hazy, because I either forgot to take 1 or 2 pills towards these last few days, I think it was only one I missed on Mon 4th, but I have in the back of my head that I missed 2 in a row sun and monday. I am hoping in typing this I can start to remember. There are two possible ways. either I missed one days monday the fourth then realised and took it straight away tuesday night before bed so that would be my last pill gapped by a day. Or I missed sun and mondays 3rd and 4th and then realised tues morning and took one then and the second one in the evening before bed. So my last pill was tueday 4th. I have 7 pill free days until the 12th and then started taking my new pill pack on the 13th April. In that 7 pill free days I am pretty sure my partner and I had sex at least once, possibly twice (well you do dont you, try to fit one more in before 'that time of the month'). In that 7 free days my "period" or withdrawal bleeding was a day or so late, but it was lighter with 2 tampax being slightly heavier (sorry if this is TMI). It was a shorter bleed than normal.
Getting nearer towards the end of April I started getting period pains. A bit more discharge than usual (but I think nothing of this as I can be quite a liquidly sort of person, sorry TMI). Now I have sucessfully taken this latest months 21 pills and started my 7 pill free days on wed just gone.
I have been experiencing period pains throughout the month, back twinges and pains. My boobs have got larger, have tenderish boobs here and there. Did have a little tingle on nipple about an hour ago, but cant tell if that is my brain working overtime!! I am getting some nausea, not masses, and have had some heartburn, and have been getting tired and grumpy but that could just be from rushing around and the stress that I have had.
My mum when she was younger had pill induced periods when she was pregnant with my bro, but that was quite a few years back. But I am wondering if what I had as a period at beginning of April was just a pill induced period, can you even get that??. Well because of the way I have been feeling I took a HPT in week beginning 18th April and that was -ive and then was still feeling lousy by the week beginning 25th April so took another test and still -ive.
As I am currently sitting here typing I have period pains, and this evening I have had what I call a looser feeling down below (does anyone else get that when they are due for lady time of month??).
I am sorry if this is long winded but I am trying to give as much info as poss. I wanted to see what other people may have thought. I dont want to test too early again as tests are expensive. Another thing that worries me that if I am pregnant and have been taking this latests months pill, will that effect or cause m/c. I have already had 2 m/c early on, one before my DS was born and one after. My partner and I weren't planning on having another child untill our DS was heading towards primary school (he's 2 years old!!).
goodness now I am really rambling, sorry. I guess I would like to know, should I test even if I get a "period" this month, even if its a weird one like last months. Also what do peeps think or my chances of being pregnant / not pregnant??
TIA. :)
