Could I be pregnant?

Hi all I am a newbie!! I am looking for some advise. I have history of endometriosis and have problems with keeping pregnancies, I have had recurrent miscarriages some very early and others later on. I was very blessed to have had a healthy baby boy in 2008 after prem labour and a terrible pregnancy. My son was all worth it though and is now 6 years old this month and doing well in school. Yes I am a proud mummy.
I have a concern today as I am awaiting surgery for endometriosis re growth in march time and have split from my partner after many years of trying for another baby with again suffering miscarriages and loosing a pregnancy at 18 weeks while having a coil in place!!!!!
Here's what happened.
I have sex with my partner on the 25th dec in the morning. Later that day
I began bleeding on the 25th dec very light spotting and it was the right time for my period. I started to take ovranette (combined pill) as advised by consultant to have the surgery and then retry for a baby after. Took day one pill and literally bleeding stopped the following day. Wasn't even 100% sure if it was a period. Continued taking the pill pack and thought how great it was that I was not in pain or bleeding for once as endometriosis causes heavy clot bleeding and excessive pain. I missed the 8th day pill but took the 9th, 10th and 11th pill. I then went to some friends and forgot to take pack with me and missed days 12-16. I was therefore expecting to start bleeding and have been waiting for it to start. I am on day 16 of my cycle and no signs of bleeding or any other symptoms I normally have of a period.

Sorry for the long winded message just a little concerned and hoping someone can offer advise. Could I be pregnant or is my cycle just messed up?

Just POAS!

If you had unprotected sex on the 25th December and got pregnant from that, then it should be possible to pick it up with a pregnancy test. Have you tested?

Its unlikely if your period started on 25th Dec, however as it was so light is it possible you were already pregnant from a previous shag?

If it helps at all, when I was on the pill I wouldn't get a withdrawal bleed unless I missed some of the last pills of my cycle, eg after day 18. Missing 12-16 wouldn't necessarily cause a bleed. I think you need to do a test though!

You need to POAS.

And if BFN, and you are likely to be sexually active before your treatment, you might want to consider a differennt form of contraception, because it doesn't sound as if you're going to get on with the pill and the need to take it every day.
