If you were taking the pill....

If you were taking the pill, and got pregnant whilst taking it - how did you figure out you were pregnant, before you took a test?

I'm on Cerazette at the moment, but have been very very very bloated the last few days. I don't think I am btw, just wondering how you knew? I have no period at all at the moment, so that's not an indicator.

On all 3 occasions my regular periods stopped and I felt different.
I had sore, big breasts and my stomach felt hard when I laid down.
I also found I suffered from heartburn in the early stages of pregnancy and felt a lot tireder.

I was on cerazette when I got pregnant. For me it was he constant 'cramps' which I thought was period pain. Also I was exhausted, and felt very nauseas (sp?) it was actually my Oh who suggested I might be pregnant. I took a test the next day.

Also whilst I was on cerazette I only had 3 periods in just under a year. So I wouldn't go by that

Well that's the thing - I have no periods at all while on Cerazette (didn't have one in 5 years before coming off to have LO, and haven't had one since I started it again 6 weeks after his birth). I often hear of women who got pregnant while on the pill, but I'm not sure how you can know!

I knew straightaway, somehow. I was on Microgynon, but I started feeling low-level nausea, missed one period (that I can remember) and, well, just knew. I felt different somehow - ever so slightly more delicate, more moody, a bit more tired, and exercise suddenly became a real struggle, not the pleasure it usually is.
