I'm new to this forum but thought I'd come to it to seek some advice from other mums! I've been on the pill for a number of years but due to a hectic life style have missed a few over the last couple of months. my partner and I are not currently trying for a baby as we want to wait until we've bought our first home but it would still be good news if we discovered I was expecting. I know the only way for me to find out is obviously by taking a test which I plan to do tomorrow morning, but I wanted to know from other mums if my symptoms were possibly pregnancy related, even if they're not right now, then at least to know for future reference! I had my 'break week' on my pill last week and my period came quite late compared to normal, and it was extremely light only lasting 4 days when its normally about 5-6. For about a month I've been experiencing intermittent breast pain, lower back pain, and over the last few days an increased need to pass urine more frequently. on top of this I feel generally really run down and massively exhausted. I automatically assumed that because I had a bleed that I can't be pregnant, but my period was very light compared to normal. are these possible signs of pregnancy? as I said a test will obviously provide a firm answer, but I'm just interested to know other people's symptoms so I know for future reference! many thanks
