Negative test - am I going crazy?

Am on cerazette and not TTC, but havent been taking pills as I should.

For a few weeks I have felt a bit weird, tired, dry hair and skin, metallic taste in mouth.

I dont get AF on cerazette, so no idea about cycle lengths etc.

So I POAS this morning, and it came back negative, but now I'm not sure if its right, or if i did it right.

Is this all just wishful thinking?

If you're not ttc you need to start taking the pills properly.

Surely if you're not ttc and on the pill a negative test is what you're aiming for, not wishful thinking?!

Hi Potter,

i know i should take them properly, but few business trips and I forgot to take them to one

We are planning on starting TTC next month so while timing wouldnt be ideal, actually we would have been quite happy

Should I test again, or just accept the negative.

I mean are false negatives possible?

It all depends on your cycle.

I took a PG test four days after my period was late and it was negative. Took another three days later as I still didn't feel right and it was positive. Now 6 weeks pregnant.

Test again. When I was pregnant for the first time I had 2 or 3 negative tests and a very strange " period" before testing positive. So false negatives do happen.

Cerazette can give you false symptoms but I'd wait a week and test again just to be sure

I got pregnant on cerazette...but if its any consolation...I had no symptoms of pregnancy and found out quite late into my pregnancy !! So I wouldn't worry too much about the symptoms.
One thing to be mindful of...is that I was quite careless with it and would forget to take them on time..sometimes miss an odd day..thinking I would be ok - but my midwife told me you just can't do that with Cerazette - its the most common pill to get pregnant on !!
Can you not switch to Microgynon or something in future ?

Took another today, and neg too, so will assume that is that.
