Pregnant... or not??

[redheadgirl]

im taking Loestrin 30, and im warrant myself as being really sensible about taking it at the same time every day etc etc..... but... i have now had two 'breaks' without any show. i havent got any other symptoms, (no tender breasts, sickness or moods etc etc).

i am currently under a lot of stress at home and at work, and sometimes if i do stress my cycle can play up a bit. i just want to know, is it all in my head??

one way to find out for sure. Do a pregnancy test as soon as possible.
It is possible to be pregnant and not have any side effects, a friend of mine has just found out she is 5 months pregnant and the only thing that prompted her to test (she suffers from PCOS and doesnt have regular periods) was that she felt the baby kick.

If you have been vigilant about taking your pills properly, it is unlikely you are pregnant. However, there is still a chance so off to the chemist and get a test. Its best to know sooner rather than later so you can consider your options. If Im more than 3-4 days late I always take a test because my pill (Dianette) can have a very harmful effect on a fetus. I hate to think what I have spent on pregnancy tests over the years but I would rather be safe. Hope it turns out ok for you.

loestrin 30 is like a mini pill as I take the 20 version, so you could get pregnant but i very much doubt you are. Your body maybe telling you to have a long break from it for a while. You should have a long break every 3 years or so.

alijangra...don't know if you have one but in my town there is a shop called Bodycare that sells tests for under a fiver. Also, I think Wilko's do them quite cheap!

You simply cannot know if you are pregnant unless you go to a doctor and he/she looks at you.
