Hi all,
I have a 15 month old little girl. I was breastfeeding up until 14 months (we were down to a nightly feed for 2 months until fully finished). I had been on Cerazette contraception for this reason until I decided to stop it (last pill was the 7th of July). I came off of it as it was making me feel really rubbish so I felt I would take a break from having pills then contemplate some other form like going back in microgynon. I felt terrible the week I came off (headaches/shattered/ spotty and unwell) however having read up on it this can be normal. I never got a withdrawal bleed, we bought condoms but as I hadn’t even had a period I was ridiculous stupid and didn’t always use them. I did a few tests yesterday and found out I am pregnant. The clear blue says 1-2 weeks (I have no idea how to gauge other than that) and the strips all have two quite faints lines as you can see from the pic attached.
I am a bit worried about miscarriage as I have a bit of an achey back and feel a bit like I have a headache and hungry. I just felt different right away which is why I did the test. Previous to finding out I was having the odd glass of wine and was not taking folic acid (I picked pregnancy vitamin up yesterday). I am also terrified of having two pretty close together. I feel ashamed that I slipped up as it’s not the ideal time as our third bedroom is only a little box room and we do not have the money to move right now however would like to keep the baby as I know it would of only been about a year or so before we thought of another.
I have also read that being on Cerazette and getting pregnant right away can increase the chance of miscarriage? My first baby was right to term but ended up an emergency as she ran out of fluid. They sent me home (fobbed on- baby is just sleepy) and by the time I went back she barely had any left to survive and was told another day or two she would have been stillborn. Her heart rate plummeted however I did manage to give birth naturally after being prepped for a section I just had an episiotomy (they tried to induce, resulted in her being in serious danger but managed to break my eater & just had me strapped to a bed monitored ready to go theatre). I know there are ladies who had it far worse it just really scares me to go through that again and to worry that this one will not be so lucky as I will be less focused on just the bump due to a toddler.
So a right rabble sorry. Do you think my test looks clear enough? Are my symptoms signally a miscarriage due to Cerazette maybe?
