Hi everyone, newbie here. Well, I registered a while back, but this is my first post (I think).

So, I'll start from the top. I had the mirena coil fitted in '05 (or maybe '06. It's been that long :/). Had that in for a few years before I decided I wanted a change. Maybe 2009? I know it was the 5 year one I had and I think I had it removed the year before it's due out.

I then went straight on the mini pill as it was decided that was best for me. I lasted about two weeks before I decided taking a pill every day was not for me.

I then had the implanon fitted. I don't remember if I had to wait for my period or whether I continued taking mini during/after implanon implanted.

So, this was say '09. I had the implanon in for the maximum time plus an extra 3 months due to messing about with getting it removed (long story).

After gaining what felt like my whole 'pre implanon' body in weight I decided another implanon was not for me. Didn't dare have the injection thingy and was paranoid about those patches.

I decided to give the mini pill (cerazette) another try (set '12). I then decided I wanted to give my body a rest.

It took from sept '09 until Jan 25th (this year) for my period to come back. After nearly 8-10 years my period returned. I was heavy for a good five days which is what my period were originally like pre contraception. I then had another period like clockwork on the 25th Feb (I couldn't believe it, lol). This one was rather light and it lasted 3 days max. I remember it not being long or heavy (I know I should have been noting this down bangs head against the wall but I honestly thought I would remember, y'know?)

Anyway, I'm rambling now, it's 27th March and I have had no period. I have had unprotected sex but I honestly couldn't tell you if it's been during my 'ovulation' period because I don't really keep note, lol.

I know there was only 28 days in Feb so this could be why I have not yet had my period. I have no idea to be honest, lol. But I have had sore breasts for at least a week now and one thing I remember from previous two months is only having sore breasts about a day, or two days before period came. I have been having bad cramps, but they are no where near as bad as period pains. My period pains I usually get are like pulling sensations, you know that real bad ache mixed with needing to go for a 'number 2'. This is a little like a stabbing pain kinda like period cramps.

I don't feel sick or anything but I have noticed me feeling hungry more. I don't think this is related though as it would be too early wouldn't it? Like usually even though I've gained a lot of weight, I'm I dare say at least 14st :'( seriously not good, I could go all day with having nothing to eat and I would be fine until I ate something. But I', sat here now after having something to eat today my stomach has been rumbling since about 5 onwards. Not constantly but i can feel it.

Could I be pregnant? I don't really have any symptoms of sickness or anything, my mouth has been watering for the past few hours, but I think it's linked with being hungry and not sickness, lol. Apart from having sore boobs, and some cramping (which I've had for about 2-3 days) I haven't had anything else.

I don't know whether to sit here and think I am or wonder if it's because my periods are a) all over the place and the first two months of being on time were a fluke and it's irregular for whatever reasons or b) if it's because there are only 28 days in feb, lol, or c) I'm pregnant.

So, yeah, I talk A LOT and ramble, but hi, please help me! lol :)

The only way you will find out is by taking a test :)

HelenBackAgain · 27/03/2013 23:01

Good point! lol. Out of all the questions I forget to ask if it would be too soon to test or not! haha

If you've had unprotected sex you could be pregnant, irrespective of any of your previous contraceptive history.
Take a test, then you'll know one way or the other!

PinkApple86 · 27/03/2013 23:03

yes pee on a stick now! my sickness didn't kick in until about 6 weeks. before that I couldn't stop eating. I hope you get the result u want. all the bestSmile

colditz · 27/03/2013 23:04

POAS you could always be pregnant.

LilyAmaryllis · 27/03/2013 23:05

Well if you've had unprotected sex its highly likely that you are pregnant. I hope that is good news! Yes, time to POAS

HelenBackAgain · 27/03/2013 23:06

Thank you! :) I was a bit unsure with all of the dates confusing me. I'll pick a test up asap.

LaVitaBellissima · 27/03/2013 23:06

I was pregnant the first month after I came off the pill, my midwife said it is very common, surge in hormones or some such Grin

POAS - for a newbie that's Piss On A Stick Smile then come back and tell us!

Would it be a good thing if you were pregnant? How do you feel about it?

HelenBackAgain · 27/03/2013 23:18

Oooo I feel excited/nervous. It would be good, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much in case I'm not. I do have a daughter, but she's 8, so it's like being excited for the first time all over again, lol.

I didn't think it would be so easy as some people have had problems with it, but everyone is different. So it's a 'if it happens it happens' if not will just take it from there and see where it goes.

I'm out with my Mum tomorrow so I will pick up a test and poas (lol). Will let you guys know!

LaVitaBellissima · 27/03/2013 23:35

Try not to have a wee until you POAS it's more accurate if it's the 1st of the day, good luck.

LandsN · 28/03/2013 07:56

Hey, just found this post so I thought that I'd post here. I'm not sure whether I could be pregnant or not. I think I ovulated a few days ago and my bf and I had unprotected sex. He did pull out but I know that can't save you. Anyways, it wouldn't matter if I'm pregnant because I wanted to try anyway. The thing is that I've been having some horrible headaches and feeling slightly naucious. I've had lower back pain on one side and... well I don't know how to describe it. I've been having this odd feeling in my lower abdomen. It feels like cramping but there is no pain and it's a light feeling. I'm trying to think that it's just something to do with ovulation or something but I usually never feel like this so that is why I keep thinking it could be a pregnancy thing. I took 2 tests but they both came up negative but if I am pregnant then it would probably be way too early to tell. I just feel odd and I have been a slight bit emotional too and my nipples have been feeling slightly sensitive. Just want to know what peoples' opinions on this matter are. I'm going to see if my period comes this month to find out for sure. It's meant to come around the 19th or so. I'll update you around about then but in the mean time. Any thoughts?

Rockchick1984 · 06/06/2013 23:44

If its only been a few days its not possible for you to be having pregnancy symptoms yet - it's usually around a week or so until a fertilised egg implants but can be up to 10 days. Prior to that you aren't making any pregnancy hormones or anything so wouldn't have symptoms. Sorry!

MystellOshay · 10/06/2013 00:58

Hey all, just thought I'd give an update. I've been having more symptoms and today I had a very small amount of blood coming out. The symptoms I have to add are, spot breakouts everywhere, white/milky discharge and my veins have been really standing out and are a light blue/green colour. Gonna have to take more tests or go to the doctor. Hope I have a baby in here. When I find out I'll let you all know.
