I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am 21 years old and have been taking microgynon 30 for about 6 years and in November 09, I was put on anti-biotics for a urine infection.
My husband and I didn't use any other form of contraception even after we were told that the pill wouldn't be as effective.
When it came to my 7 day break, I'm not sure if it was a period or what. I was about 1 day later than normal and it was a light pink brownish colour and was very light. It lasted about 1-2 days. Normally It's medium flow and lasts 4-5 days.
I've continued taking the pill and having my 7 day breaks but each 'period' is pink to pale red and lasts 2-3 days.
Recently I've been more tired regardless of having a good nights sleep and having 8-9 hours a night. I've vomited twice for absolutly no reason that I can think of (no bugs going around at the time), I'm going to the toilet a lot, have gained some weight and my lower belly feels 'full' if that makes sense. I've also had cramping. I've also 'caused' arguments with my husband for no reason what so ever and sometimes over emotional.
Could I be pregnant? I don't want to ask my husband incase he thinks I'm making it up as he knows I'd like a baby with him. He also wants children, but right now is not ideal but if it happens it happens.
If anyone can give me some advice on this I would be very grateful

YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT!!
i have missed loads of pills in my packets before - even pills in the first week and they alway say "you have to take the morning after pill and not have sex for a week if you do that" ect but i still have sex every day and i have never got pregnant!! i think theyre just out to take precautions to cover them selves. the pill gives you short term infertillity so theres no way you can get pregnant. i hate it when i hear young girls saying that they accidently missed a pill and so got pregnant. BULLSH*T!!

When you have a miscarriage, within the first 6 weeks, you will not see anything that looks like skin. If anything, you would see a small greyish type blob that in no way resembles a baby. Skin as we see it on a newborn doesnt usually take form until very late in pregnancy.
After months of trying to concieve I had three early miscarriages also known as a chemical pregnancy, where the baby cannot progress past a certain stage of cell development due to many reasons, from the cells not being complete or major health issue etc, it is really not known. There wasnt overly that much pain for two, and some severe cramps with another, so it hard to tell from pregnancy to pregnancy or person to person.
When you take the pill, it stops the egg from being released. Therefore you will not ovulate and there will be no egg to be fertilised. It is incredibly rare to fall pregnant while taking the pill.
Also, pregnancy symptoms are very similar to premenstral symptoms, of the 7 times I have fallen pregnant, I havent felt anything until after a pregnancy test. Or anything I did feel I had felt every month anyhow.
Unfortunately there is no way to tell you are pregnant until at least 14 days after ovulation (generally happens 14 days after the first day of your period). The pill ensures you have a 28 day cycle, but without the pill it can range a lot.
So, my advice is to wait it out until the day your period is due (if you can wait until you are 5 days over to ensure a correct test), but other then that, dont worry too much, chances are you are not pregnant.

my suggestion would be to take a home pregnancy test, you can get extremely accurate ones and if you are still having issues next month try another test ;)
