have been on Diannette for a few years now and suffer
from mood swings and lack of labido. i went off it last
month to see for sure if it was the pill that was causing
it and i really improved. Neither my partner or myself
like using condoms and we messed around quite abit
throughout the month without using them properly. he
did'nt come inside me but came close to it on a few Occasions We are not looking to get pregnant i know we were silly but we would be happy to have a baby we just havent planned to try for a year yet so
we decided i should start the pill again but now
i am worried that if i became pregnant that going back on
the pill could be dangerous. i havent had a period since i
stopped taking it. i know that most women would not get
pregnant so soon after stopping the pill and the fact that
he withdrew would also reduce the chances but i am still
worried it is 29 days since i had my withdrawel bleed and
32 days since i stopped taking the pill. how soon could i test or should i wait until my period comes and how long should i wait for it

I wouldn't wait more than a week longer personally. It is possible that you are pregnant. On the other hand it can take a little while to get back to regular periods.

What about other contraception options if you don't like the pill? Probably not wise to start the pill again without a period though or at least a negative pregnancy test

Good luck

Thanks for your feedback i really appreciate it. i have been thinking about the patch i might see how that suits me. has anyone here actually gotten pregnant straight away after stopping the pill just as a matter of interest

My friend got pregnant 6 weeks after stopping the pill and she had been on it for years.

Good luck

6 weeks i really thought it would take your body a while to get used of the hormones not being there.

A friend asked her doc about coming off the pill and trying to get pg. She was told that she couldn't get pg for a while until it had "cleared out" of the system. She was back within 4 weeks with a positive test result! Thankfully she wasn't too upset that it happened sooner than she'd planned.

My friend din't have a period between stopping th epill and getting pg.

Well... I don't think you are but, I think the only realistic measure if you really want to know if you are pregnant or not is doing a test.

My opinion is totally irrelevant, as I don't know how much you "messed around" or the particular characteristics of your body. However, a £7 pregnancy test available from any pharmacy or supermarket will sort the dilema

Thanks so much i think i will leave it another couple of days and then ill test.
