PREGO EVEN ON ORTHO?

OK Gang...help me out. My wife and I have a five month old. My wife has been on Orthotry. for two months. She's been on this before very successfully and w/o side-effects. Two saturday's ago would have been about 12-14 days into her cycle. That night we were intimate. Well the past 6 days she has been having terrible heartburn and very tired---both of these were present within the first week of her last pregnancy. She has also been suffering from nausia--this was not so common in first pregnancy. This morning she had a slight pink spotting. This would be 10 days after having sex (implantation bleeding?). She says she has this "gut feeling" that she's pregnant---but we keep looking at eachother saying "it just can't be" (my wife is almost religious about taking The Pill...same time every day etc)

So what do you think? Could it be? It certainly wasn't planned (we were hoping to have two years between kids not 13 months)...but we'd be thrilled at the same time

it's very likely that you guys could be pregnant again. BCP aren't 100% effective. You can plan all you want but sometimes those lil boogers have plans of their own! lol best of luck. hope your outcome is pleasant.

I have to agree with prior post..bcp is not 100% affective...my sister just found out she is 10 weeks pg (daughter is 13 months) and her and husband were using condoms...go figure....you will know if a few days...best of luck.....btw i am assuming you r greek from your name, if so....sixareteria (congrats in greek from a fellow greek girl)
