Getting pregnant while on the mini pill

I currently take the progestogen only mini pill, micronor, and wondered if any mumsnet members have had pregnancy scares while taking this. I took this pill for 4 years before stopping to have my first baby. I have been back on it now for a year since my baby was born. I just keep getting a niggling feeling that I may be pregnant again. I feel constantly tired, and very fat and bloated, though my weight has only changed by a couple of pounds. I am getting fluttering sensations in my tummy (or is it just wind?), and cramping and feel breathless. My periods have always been irregular on this pill, but for the past few months, I just seen to have been spotting - most recently for 3 full weeks, though not heavy. I guess I am scared to take a test as I am telling myself not to be stupid.

I took micronor while feeding ds for 17 mths - I didn't have spotting myself but the nurse said it wasn't unusual to bleed at odd times of the month. But your other symptoms don't sound like much fun or like pregnancy either - I would make an appt with you doctor. List everything you feel - even the stuff you think is irrelevant.

all the best - mudda
