Q: missed pills and breastfeeding

I have just had a baby 5 months ago which I am breastfeeding too. I started to get my period straight away after giving birth. I am on the minipill although missed taking them for 2 days about a month ago. 2 weeks ago I got my period although it was very light and only lasted for 3 days.

The last week or so I have been feeling really tired, sometimes a little sick first thing in the morning and also a bit faint. My boobs have been getting a little bit sore in the last couple of days although not sure whether it is the breastfeeding.

I took 2 home pregnancy tests a couple of days ago although both came back negetive.

I still have this feeling I might be pregnant!!! What do you think?

well if you had your period and took two t tests and they both said neg then id say your most likely not pregnant.
you could also go get a blood test done to ease your mind
but id say your not pregnant.

Well I think I might wait a few days to see if the symptoms get any worse and go to the doc.

I woke up this morning feeling very light headed and like I wanted to throw up!! Feels very much the same as the beginning of my first pregnancy....

You can get pregnant while breastfeeding. Thats how my second child was born. These days you cant go by a negative test result. Again, I like explained to someone before, the pregnancy test is determined by your babys hcg level. In other words, your baby has to reach a certain percentage in order for the test to read positive. It may be that your babys hormones havent reached that percentage. Everybody pregnancies are different, so if you feel that way, then go see the doctor to get accurate results. You know your body better than anyone else
