I am on the pill and was two days late starting my packet after the 7 days break, we did get busy in the bed during those two days - what are the chances I will end up pregnant?
Sorry despite having a son I have no idea how the pill works, or periods or cycles.
We were going to stop contraception in Dec in the hope of another little one, so if I am that's great.
Also if anyone has any hints on what to monitor or time to figure ou my cycle when I stop taking the pill - that would be great.

My understanding of the pill where you take breaks was that if you took the full pack of pills / was not sick / did not miss one etc then you were covered for the full 7 days off.

I think the opinion as to when the pill works its way out of your system differs, some say you can be more fertile right after coming off the pill, others say it can take a while to come out of the system.

I came off the pill and was pregnant 3 months later, not sure if that helps you or not! A friend of mine came off the pill and was pregnant the following month grin

Thanks for the advice, I guess it's wait and see anyway.
I also became pregnant immediately with my son when I stopped the pill.

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
