Two weeks ago i was on anti biotics which cancel out my contraceptive pill, had unprotected sex and continued to do so frequently, i think i am a week before my period is due but for the past 4 days iv had on and off minimal bleeding started off light pink then turned to brown discharge, my normal periods are quite noticeable and i would normally be in full flow now but it continues to stop and start, iv had mild cramps not as severe as the ones i normally get before my period is due, i have an increased apetite, bloating and increased urination, i have taken a pregnancy test today around 4pm and it was negative but it may be too early to tell, does anyone think it sounds like implantation bleeding/ early pregnancy or just the fact i may be due on my period please help as it is starting to bug me now!
Dear Shorty
It all depends on the effect of cancelling out the pill (effectively stopping it). You could ovulate immediately, or ovulation might be deferred for some time.
Assuming that your ovulated mid cycle, then you could well have become pregnant. However if you ovulated a week ago, implantation is only likely to have just occurred (at the earliest), so an HPT is not likely to be positive for several days. A test would normally be taken a couple of days after a period has failed to materialise. Some tests claim to work a bit earlier.
However, it you ovulated as soon as the pill 'failed' (2 weeks ago), the implantation could have taken place already and a test in a couple of days might confirm it.
Either way, I think it at least 2 days too early to tell.
But, why were you having unprotected sex with no effective pill?
Hope this helps
