I just wanted to post, and I'm sorry if most of you are getting sick of me being here, I could just be totally obsesed, or really pregnant, but hey, It's nice to get on here and learn a thing or two...

I just wanted to know, from those of you who have gotten pregnant while still on the pill: But what did you do wrong? Or did you do nothing wrong, everything right and it still happened. What were your symptoms??? When you were supposed to have your period, with the last seven inactive pills, did it still come, was it regular, or was it irregular, or didn't happen at all???? How far along where you when you realized you where pregnant??? How far along where you and still taking your pills, did it effect the baby? Does it effect HPT tests if you're still on the pill??? How long did it take for you to get a + on a HPT?? When did you know to test???

Thanks

Hi wantzababy,

Being on hormonal contraceptives has no effect on the accuracy of HPTs.

I didn't do anything wrong, I fell in that tiny minority that get pregnant with perfect use (it happens, otherwise your protection would be 100%).

I missed a few periods... There was no bleeding, the pregnancy stopped that (that is most common). I found out around 10 weeks.

The pill will not affect the accuracy of a HPT.

I did not have a baby, so I don't know what the effects of taking the pill at the same time might have been. My 9 1/2 year old neice is a pill baby (vomiting, in that case) & she is fine.
