on minipill when to do a pregnancy test
| Tue, 03-13-2007 - 12:26pm |
Hi guys
Need some imput please, I am on micronor 28 day minipill (its the same dose for the whole month no inactive pills. I should have got af between friday and sun (had a tiny brown spot a few times mixed with cm, but other than that no af. Its now 2-4 days after when I should get it, Im wondering how long I should wait to do a pregnancy test, I dont want to waste money on a test but Im still taking the pill and dont want to wait to long in case I am , I dont want to harm the baby. Please advise
thanks

On the minipill you may or may not get a period. Are you breast feeding? I know that's a common reason women are on it. That can delay your period for quite awhile. If you do get a period it won't always be the 4th week of the pills because there are no inactive ones. Be sure you're taking it at exactly the same time every day, within 20 min. It's super picky.
I couldn't deal with it being so picky so I chose an IUD after I had my son.

This is my 5th week on it, (no im not brestfeeding) I always get af 26-28 days , today I have felt sick and chest hurts off and on,I felt really hot last night at bedtime and had headaches today and felt very sick to my tummy today, ( I had sore chest when I started on the pill and a bit sick but after 2 weeks I didnt have those symptoms)So today when I noticed I was 2-4 days late and having those symptoms I freaked, I have taken it usually within 15 min each day....... a few times this mth I was 1-2 hrs late cause I slept in but I was told within 2 hrs it was fine....now im more freaked out... should I test or wait till the end of the week and see. (fri and sat I had just a tiny brown spot with cm , then nothing sun or mon, and today a tiny brown spot with cm
please respond
thanks
Well I don't know exactly how effective it is but I always heard within 20 min because it's so picky. I'd wait until at least the end of the week to test, if you got pregnant when do you think it might have happened because you want to wait 2 weeks after conception to test.
Maybe the CL will see this and have better information for you.
