Question.... **Updated!**
I have been on Lo Loestrin FE for a year. I normally get a light period
for 2-3 days each month. However, last month I had two periods one week
apart. This month my period is late. I took two pills late last month
but they were not consecutive pills (two different weeks). I have been
having cramping on and off for 8 days along with extreme fatigue. I have
been sleeping 9-11 hours a night and sometimes an afternoon nap. I have
also had a significant decrease in appetite. I believe my birth control
keeps me from ovulating so I am not sure if I could be pregnant or if
this is just a fluke. I also don't know if it is too early to take a
pregnancy test. My husband doesn't think I could be pregnant, so I am
looking for some input.
Thanks!
Update: I took a pregnancy test Wednesday morning which was negative. However I am still so nauseous in the morning and at night. As well as exhausted and still having bad gas pains. I'm now 4 days late...any ideas or suggestions? I am having bloodwork done next Thursday to check my thyroid and other things.
Re: Question.... **Updated!**
Take a test. None of us can tell you if you are pregnant or not, but a test can. They say on the The Bump a lot of that if you are pregnant enough for symptoms, then you are pregnant enough to turn a test positive.
Yes, your pills are dual pills (meaning they have progestin and estrogen) so they, in theory, block ovulation. But, it's not a fool-proof mechanism.
When you say you took pills late, do you mean you were off by an hour or a day? If I forget a pill one day, we use back up. I take my pill roughly the same time every day, but I'm not militant about it so a few hours each way doesn't phase me.
