and more specifically if you fell pregnant while on the pill and have been diagnosed with PCOS.

Been having some familiar symptoms, and I could be wrong, but this is where my head has gone. Just listening to my body I suppose.

(Btw, I'm on mini pill, so no periods whatsoever!! Can't use "being late" as a guide)

Thanks all.

Yes, I got pregnant on the mini pill whilst taking it perfectly. I did a lot of googling afterwards because I was confused as to why it had happened as the pill is meant to be almost 99% reliable. Apparently the mini pill only works up to a certain bmi.
I certainly didn't think I was fat. Curvy and slightly overweight at 10.5 stones and 5ft 3, but not massive. But when I googled it said that I shouldve been taking 2 pills a day to prevent pregnancy properly.

I had no idea.
I doubt most people taking the mini pill are aware either.
I wouldn't use it again.
I have a Mirena coil now.
