Help...i think i'm pregnant

Ok, i have just joined this site, as i am sitting at work and am really worried that i might be pregnant.

I had a peorid for no reason 3 weeks ago as i am on the pill, and i did not know where it came from. I have been having really bad headaches and bachache, as well as bad stomach cramps. Last week i was being sick alot, but it seems to have gone now. Also my moods have been up and down for no reason, and i cant think of anything apart from the fact i might be preganat?

Will be doing a test when i go home, but i have another 8 hours to go!!

Let me know what you think,

Many thanks!!

Hi Emma and welcome to JP I'm mandy from Devon, mum to Lauren (Lolly) 2 1/2 and Jake 7mths. From what you say, some of the symptoms are possible pregnancy symptoms but not necessarily, could just be you have picked up a slight bug? 🤔 maybe that is why the sick feeling has now stopped? You don't say in your post that you have had unprotected sex or missed a pill or anything but i am assuming that pregnancy is a possibility? You say you had a period 3weeks ago. Was this in a pill break? If so you aren't due on again yet so a pregnancy test may not show possitive at this stage? Or if the period 3 weeks ago was unexpected have you had a bleed during your usual pill break since then? I hope you get the result you want from the test hun. Let us know how you get on 😘 Xx

Hi Mandy, thanks for the reply 🙂 I'm Emma from Bedford, and i dont have any kids yet, but am looking forward to the time when i do 🙂

I've been having unprotected sex with my partner, and the bleeding started halfway through a pack, at that point i decided to stop that pack, and give my body a break for a month. I think i had a normal peorid after i stopped taking the pill, as i was bleeing for 2 weeks in total.

Not sure if that makes sense...i can't stop shaking!!

think the best thing to do is take a test and see what the result is

did you test?

Hmm this does sound a little odd? I'm sure there are other reasons for your symptoms? However if, as you say you have been having unprotected sex then it is a high possibility you are pregnant? As JOJO said a test is the only sure way to get an answer. As i am a bit late replying, i am assuming you have already done this? I hope you got the result you want. Let us know how you got on. Xx

Hmm, i would do a test anyway incase you did pick up a bug, and the pill wasn't effective (which is why maybe you had a bleed randomly)??

I had abnormal bleeding on the pill which turned out to be a cyst which was causing it as it was always dead in the middle of my pack (when my body was getting ready to ovulate). i was taken off the pill completely after that as unfortunately it doesn't seem to agree with me.

I would maybe go to your GP/practice nurse anyway if you are bleeding unexpectedly - they may need to review the pill you are on.

I couldn't agree with sarah more. If you take the pregnancy test and it comes back negative i would go and see your nurse practitioner or gp and have a chat about why you may have had a bleed mid pack? I have had a bleed mid pack if i have missed one or two pills before? I conceived my dd while i was taking the pill, without even missing one (very low odds of this according to my consultant)and i had a small bleed midpack before i knew i was pregnant which was put down to an implantation bleed after i found out i was expecting. xx
