ANYONE WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCE??

I AM FIVE DAYS LATE! LAST MONTH MY PERIOD WAS FOUR DAYS LATE AND WAS MAINLY JUST BROWNISH AND VERY LIGHT. AF WAS DUE ON SEPT 27 AND ISN'T HERE YET. THE THING I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT IS THAT I WAS ON THE PILL UP UNTIL MY LAST PERIOD AND BECAUSE OF MY PERIOD BEING ABNORMAL, I SKIPPED THIS MONTH, BUT DH AND I HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL. AND I TOOK THE PILL EVERYDAY AROUND THE SAME TIME. HAS ANYONE ELSE GOTTEN PREGNANT ON THE PILL AND HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE?? I HAVE BEEN VERY TIRED LATELY, AND MY BREASTS HAVE BEEN SORE, BUT THEY ARE NOT AS SORE TODAY. AND I HAVEN'T HAD AN APPETITE IN ABOUT A MONTH. I'VE JUST BEEN EATING A LOT OF SWEETS, WHICH I DID IN MY LAST PREGNANCY. ANY THOUGHTS?? (SORRY I DON'T KNOW ALL THE ABBREVIATIONS, THIS IS MY SECOND POST)

THANKS,

LADYBUG

it's not unheard of - i'm in a somewhat similar situation right now, too. i haven't taken any tests yet, but i think i'm pregnant (like 70% sure and sometimes i think i'm possitive i am, but overall...anyway!) and i've been on bc pills for almost a year! also, i think you should read this article - http://www.parentsplace.com/fertility/contraception/qas/0,,238696_100329,00.html

good luck!

Anna Rae,

Thanks for your reply. I read the article. I was a little worried about the pill causing problems if i am pregnant, but it sound like if i am, everything should be okay. I think i am going to test on Saturday if I haven't started my period by then. When are you testing??I'm anxious...don't know if i can wait til then...

good luck

i'm probably going to wait until my next af is due (10/15) and see if it seems normal or not. or if it comes at all. my husband doesn't want me to test (yet, anyway) - i'm not sure if he's hoping it'll go away if we don't know for sure or if it's just because we don't have any insurance right now to pay for doctor visits, so knowing won't make that big of a difference. but anyway, yeah, let me know!

If you two had a brownish dark red period that could have been inplantation bleeding. Some people get just spots fome get it like a regualr period and other get it only when they go to the bathroom or when they stand up and thats about it.

I hope this helped.

Hi Ladybug,

You may want to wait until AF is due to take a test -- they're pricey, and a BFN will result if you take it too early (hormone levels not high enough to be detectable). Your testing buddy will help you wait, I'll bet :) Keep us posted, and best of luck!!
