Missed 1 Week of Pills...Am I Pregnant??
| Mon, 09-15-2003 - 4:29pm |
I'm hoping someone can answer my question. I haven't been able to concentrate on work all day, that's how I found this site! Anyway, I missed a whole week of pills (1st week of a new pack). My husband and I went away for our 1st Anniversay and I did not get them in time, anyway, instead of doubling up like I have in the past when I've missed pills, I just decided to start new that next sunday. Yesterday, (Sunday) was only the second week of this pack of pills, and I've started noticing how sore my breasts are and I swear they are bigger and it seems too soon to be PMS already! I also feel bloated, full, and now feel like my stomach and chest area are full of air (gas, I guess)! So, now I'm wondering if this is just a side effect of missing one week of pills & re-starting, or am I pregnant? The only reason I think it could be pregnancy is because I've skipped a whole month of pills once and started right back up and none of this happened!! I so want to take a test, but I know my husband will think I'm overreacted and tell me to wait until I've at least missed my period! I don't know if I can wait that long that is why I'm looking to you guys for answers! Unfortunately, I have got to go now, but I will be checking this first thing tomorrow morning! I'm looking forward to any insight someone could give me! Thanks!

It's definitely possible but I would wait until you are late to test. I was on the pill about 7 years before I missed that one week. Was the best mistake of my life!
Hope it works out the way you want!
I know it's stupid to test now, but I'm so anxious!!!! I'll just wait and see how I feel and see what happens in two more weeks when I'm supposed to get my period. Thanks again! I'll keep you updated!
Are you back on the pill? The reason why I ask is that if you think you are pregnant, you should not continue your pills. If I were you, I'd go get an early blood test to make sure, if not, I would at least stop the pills. You can start a new pill cycle safely if AF comes and you end up not being pregnant.
Best of luck

The funny thing is, I thought about that today almost immediatley after taking my pill. I won't take it anymore...how bad is it that I have been so far? That won't do any major damage if I am pregnant, will it? I hope not! I may have not planned for this pregnancy (if that's what it is) but it doesn't mean I'm not going to be overjoyed to find out that I really am & to do everything to make sure this baby is healthy!
Is it too early to take a hpt??? I guess I can wait, but it's like "I need to know now!" I noticed initially on sunday that my brests were sore and looked bigger. Yesterday I felt bloated, full, and got gassy later in the day and then before I went to bed, I felt a little nauseaous (sp?). Today, my stomach keeps flipping from feeling almost like slight butterflies to feeling nauseaous again. I keep eating saltines, and it seems to help. I've thought I was pregnant before and I'll admit, probably read more into things I was feeling, but for some reason, this time, I really don't feel like this is in my head. I know I've never felt anything like this before. Plus, occasionally I feel cramping and overall, like I'm going to get my period or have it, but it is too early for pms symptoms since i'm not due for it for another 2 weeks. What do you think? Am I making this up or does it sound like it could be the real deal??!! Thanks for any and all help you can give!!!
