I'm not really sure if I am but wanted to ask if there might be a possibility am feeling bloated I'm eating a heck of a lot more than I normally do I suddenly got spots my nipples are tender I'm more tired than normal I'm wanting to go to bed really early I sometimes have a strange taste in my mouth and I'm moody. I'm on the mini pill but I sometimes take it a couple of hours late if I fall asleep me and my boyfriend have only been together for nearly 6 months and even though we've talked about kids it's not something we are ready for right now.

A lot of those symptoms can and aren't pregnancy related and only real way of knowing is a test when your late for period.

The pill (as long as taken daily) is fine, I was always late with mine but again it's not 100% reliable if you miss doses etc.

So, either wait til AF is late and test with first morning urine or First response do an Early test you can try (think it's upto a few days before etx).

No judgement or anything from me - just experience.

Good luck either way

Depends what pill you’re on tbh. If it’s one with a 3 he window you could get pregnant if you’re taking it late. 12 he window pill less risky.

Don’t wait until you miss AF as pill withdrawal bleed is not a true AF and you can have one even if pregnant. Test. If negative Wait a week then test again and take the pill properly in the future.

Hr not he 🙄 autocorrect!

Posted by accident. The mini pill must be taken within a three hour window every day.

Op it sounds like you need something different if you don’t want an accidental pregnancy, maybe a coil or implant.

It’s common to get “pregnancy” symptoms when you’re worried you might be pregnant even if you’re not.

Some do have a 12 hr window rather than 3. Read the packet or google the brand

Take a test ??? Only way to know ! People have pregnancy symptoms and are not pregnant. Only way to know is to take a test an Internet forum cannot tell you

Thank you everyone I don't get periods on my mini pill so I have no idea when my period would be due. I'm just panicking a bit because my boobs got tender I suddenly got spots. I guess I will have to bite the bullet and do a test 😕 I'm normally very very careful with my pill but as my mum likes to keep reminding me you can get caught on the pill.

My pill has a 12 hour window so I should be ok I think I can breath now and relax.
