On Cerazette for 5 months now. Always have a period every month with it. Missed a pill two weeks ago so when my dh and I had sex we used a condom.

Period a week late now. Am NEVER late, have been a 28day cyle now for 15 years.

Please tell me I am being a nutter for worrying about this. Surely the condom could not have failed, if it split we would have noticed (surely?) and I only missed one pill, surely one would have to be EXTREMELY unlucky to miss a pill, then get pregnant because the condom you used a a precaution split???

Also my boobs are killing me, and this is not something I normally get..

Am going to get a test tomorrow, but please tell me I am worrying needlessly.

Yes you can fall pregnant. No contraception is 100% effective the only thing that is, is abstinence. I fell pregnant while taking the mini pill.

Yes definately. Nothing is 100% effective. I had the mirena coil fitted and still got pregnant despite being told is was as good as female sterilization.

so?

Seona1973 · 19/09/2010 12:21

it is common for periods to stop altogether on cerazette so you may not be pregnant. I havent had a period for 2 years on cerazette which has saved me a fortune on sanitary products!

Havent got the test yet, will have to be tomorrow as I live in the back of beyonds and no chemist open on a sunday here.

Seona - Hopefully that is what has happended with me, its just I did have period for first few months on it and when on mirena for 2 years had a period every month too. And they are the same artificial hormone, progestogen.

I had no periods until I came off Cerazette too. I don't think you're pregnant.

Ah. Just reread your post. Boobs killing you- that was what made me realise I was pregnant with DD......

Irishchic · 20/09/2010 19:38
