Pregnancy symptoms or delayed period??

[Sarah8101]

Hi All,

I started microgynon and took it religously but then stupidly became a bit slack and forgetful! Well I had one period the first month, during my 7 day break but then became a nightmare.

After about week of carelessness we decided to stop using it and revert to condoms, I was only microgynon properly for about a month but period should have theoretically started w/c 5th December(last week)

I had a real bad bout of reflux, sickness/diarhora w/c 28th December and have had all the usual period tell Tale signs on and off since bout 2nd December. Hot flushes, belly aches etc. No sign of any bleeding, at all.

If anything I nay have a water infection, strong urine and yellow tint when wipe, so sorry the graphical info.

Is thisjust my body getting back to normal or the other?

How long would it usually take forperiods to kick back in, if it's not due to pregnancy?!

I'd be testing if I were you. It could just be a delayed bleed due to you having been ill, but only testing will give you the answer. You will certainly need to drink more in 1st trimester if you are pg - hense the yellow wee if you're not yet intaking more fluid. Belly aches could also be your uterus expanding, BUT could just as easily be a reaction to being ill.
I managed to get pregnant taking microgynon fairly religiously (never more than 4h late taking). I had been ill 3 weeks earlier...and they think that was enough...that and a failed condom as I was paranoid and wanted 'backup'.
Just takes 1 bout of vommiting to stop the pill form working as effectively.
I seem to remember coming off the combined pill my periods retuend VERY quickly to "normal" but that was years and years ago...I've been on POP/injections for about 7 years (I was ovulating regardless of the combined pill, and have migraines, so it was pointless)...so can't really remember clearly.
Test, early morning urine. It's the only way you'll know...
