Did any of you ladies experience this VERY early on???

[peaky297]

As a brief background: been on Microgynon for years. I started the first week of a new pack (after having had a normal pill breakthrough “period”) and took 3 of the pills. Following this I missed 3 days pills and had what I assume to have been a breakthrough bleed for 2 days. This was nearly two weeks ago.
Over the last week I have been experiencing the following symptoms:

• Fatigue / tiredness (though this is not all the time)
• Feeling nauseous (but not actually being sick)
• Bouts of heartburn, indigestion and (sorry) bouts of excessive wind
• Lower abdominal cramping on and off (similar to period pains)
• Milky white odourless discharge
• Boobs not at all sore, but feel a little bigger than usual
• Some constipation, but also a couple of episodes of loose bowel movements (sorry again). Concerned by this I took a pregnancy test as a precaution around a week ago and it came back negative. Are these symptoms indicative of early pregnancy (as in symptoms you can have within the first couple of weeks?). It just seems like it is all too much of a coincidence, but I don’t want to panic myself into taking multiple tests when it may be too early for these symptoms to be pregnancy. Thank you 

“it may be too early for these symptoms to be pregnancy.”

Why would these be symptoms of pregnancy at all? You’re on the pill. You’ve protected yourself from pregnancy, had a bleed and a negative test (Im confused why you tested?).

I tested because (as stated) I missed 3 pills in a row, which means a risk of pregnancy. I would have been irresponsible not to consider it as a possibility, however slim.

I was on the pill and got pregnant, it's not 100% and happens more often than you'd think.

Having said that these symptoms can often be pill side affects too, try not to worry about it too much!

Yes it is possible. I had some of those symptoms before I knew I was pregnant, in fact a week before my missed period. Take another test for peace of mind.

A test taken a week after conception would be negative anyway. It takes 10-14 days for the HCG to reach detectable levels. Yes those could be pregnancy symptoms or they might not be. Take another test in a few days.
