Hi,
I came off the mini pill (cerastes) 3 weeks ago today and had sex twice that weekend. When I've come off this pill before I've usually had a bleed after a few days but had nothing so far.

Is it possible that I could have got pregnant that weekend? I've been feeling a bit sick the past few days and wondering if I should test but then thinking it may all be in my mind? What do you guys think?

Sorry that should have said cerazette! Autocorrect!

I got pregnant immediately after coming off cerazette. Was bleeding lightly for a few weeks, assumed it was a withdrawal bleed so didn't think I could be pregnant. But it must have happened within days for the dates to add up.

So yes it's possible Smile

(I miscarried, but no reason to think it was related to coming off pill afaik)

It's possible, but as my doctor said rare. I know 3 other women besides me who came off it recently. One of them is pregnant (2-3 weeks after stopping) and the other two had bleeds within a few weeks. Me, it took 54 days and on top of this I had every sort of pregnancy symptom imaginable, yet I was not pregnant.
If it were me I would test, as its the only real way to know.

Hi SJ, I too was on cerazette until 19th September and had some weird symptoms when I stopped it like the sicky feeling and dizziness. I did a test but also neg and I didnt get a bleed until 19th October. I've read on some of these threads that some women experience pregnancy sysmptoms as the body gets used to being off this particular pill.... Of course you could actually be pregnant but tested too early so maybe wait a bit longer. Its difficult to know when you start ovulating again, I've only been ttc my first for a few weeks now and still trying to work out my cycle. Good luck!
