Pregnant on the pill? Period or not?

I know I need to take a test but I was wondering if anyone had had similar....

I was having unprotected sex for around 3 weeks in June/July. I started bleeding really lightly (pink blood) on the 15t July so I took my pill as instructed as I thought this was my period, although it was 5 days early. I then carried on taking my pill and the bleeding got slightly heavier, red but no clots, sorry for TMI. I thought this bleed was my period.

It's now around 2 and a half weeks after my period and I'm so tired, my boobs are extremely sore and I feel bloated with slight stomach cramps. Is this a side effect of the pill or could I be pregnant?

TIA x

The only way to know for sure is to take a test

I know. I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience or could maybe shed light on it.

I will be taking a test so I know for sure

I am in a very similar boat to you OP. I have been on the mini pill since last December and have not had a proper period since around then. However, I had sex on the 15th July and instantly had stomach cramps. Was in so much pain for several days. I have suspected endometriosis and so I put it down to that. Then I had some spotting on the Thursday. It was only a tiny bit but I noticed it on tissue and in my underwear. I thought nothing off it. However, I have now started to get other pregnancy symptoms and something just feels different. So now waiting to see what happens as when I took a test it came back negative. It does happen and by the sounds of it, that was implantation bleeding. Here if you need to talk

gillseybear it's so strange. I was on no protection for nearly a month having unprotected sex so it could be possible but I had a bleed. I don't know if this bleed was because I started taking the pill on the first day of the light pink bleed.

I'm going to take a test when I'm home from work. If I am pregnant it would definitely show up by now. I've just never had such sore boobs or fatigue, but then again it could be from the pill.

Are you going to test?

I have done a couple and they came bsck negative but the doctors told me to wait for a bit and if the symptoms are continuing to go back next week. I am just as confused as you are. My boobs are so painful today and I feel so sick. Just not normal for me
