Q: Mini pill and pregnancy
asked by: alicej75 on April 10th, 2009

i take the mini pill, i'm on my 5th month now. i do always take the pill within the 3 hour window but have also taken it 5mins out of that window. For the last 2 weeks i have been feeling overly tired with headaches everyday, lower backache everyday and a sick feeling that comes and goes not to mention very slight cramping and bloating and a bit of thin white sticky discharge. What i'm confused about is that i had a period on the 9th March that lasted 11 days so i finished on the 19th March i then had sex on the 22nd and again on the 24th and 25th. On the 25th in the afternoon i started bleeding this lasted 3 days. i didnt actually think anything of it until i started feeling all these symtoms. I know period/pregnancy symtoms are similar but i have never had backache/headache and this sick feeling so bad. I did a pregnancy test on Monday 6th and it showed negative. I have tried to work out my cycle from the month before and it was 29 days. Have i tested too soon, is it possible to get pregnant on the mini pill (Femulen)?

of course it is possible, but very unlikely if you take your pills as recommended (which it sounds like you do). I think it's about a 1%-4% chance. VERY unlikely.

Sometimes, your brain can actually make you believe you are experiencing pregnancy symptoms. Headaches, lower back pain, and exhaustion are all symptoms of stress.
Also, all of your symptoms could be because of problems with your pill.

If you had a negative pregnancy test, I'd be willing to bet that you are NOT pregnant.
