I was recently pregnant with twins and tragically had a miscarriage. I wanted to get pregnant again straight away but I thought I should get over my loss 1st as it was my 1st pregnancy. I went on the pill after that but 2 weeks ago I had sex with my partner and missed 2 pills on that week. I started feeling sick, tired, my stomachs swollen and need to make trips to the toilet more then usual. I got paranoid and stopped taking the pill 4 days ago, and now I'm bleeding. I'm confused does this mean I'm not pregnant or is it because I've stopped taking the pill and could I be pregnant? Someone help me I'm new at this am totally scared after what happened with my twins.

Which pill are you taking? Where in your pill packet were you when you missed the two pills.

I'm afraid it sounds as though you are not pregnant, but you can do a test to be sure.

So sorry about what happened with your twins.

I just had got off my 7 days break and started a new pack so it was the 1st week. And missed 2 days from the day after me and my partner had sex. I think I'm going to do a test today just to put my mind at rest.

And thanks :)

The pill that I'm taking is called levest.

I believe that Levest contains 30micrograms of ethinylestradiol which is the lower dose combined pill.

In that case, as you missed 2 days out of your first week it IS possible that you are pregnant.

These are the 'pill rules' if you want one of the 30microgram pills to remain effective and so you don't want to become pregnant:

^If you miss 1 pill in the first week of your pill pack then use a condom until you have taken the pill correctly for seven days.

If you are in the second or third week of your pill pack then you WILL NOT need to take any precautions providing that you have not missed TWO OR MORE pills. Therefore if you miss one pill in this time you are unlikely to become pregnant.

If you miss two or more pills in the second week you should use a condom until you have taken the pill correctly for seven days.

If you miss two or more pills out of week three then you should take your second pack of pills straight after this pack and should not have a pill-free interval. Again, in this scenario you should use a condom until you have taken the pill correctly for seven days.

The pill rules can be a little complicated which is why most sexual health professionals say you should always take precautions if you miss one pill but this is not necessary.^

Sorry, this is a very long explanation but I wanted to give all of the pill details.

In summary you may be pregnant. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you are happy whatever the result is.

Let us know how you get on with the pregnancy test.
