Q: Pregnancy And the Mini Pill?????

I was wondering if you still get a 28 day cycle while on the mini pill.. I had them always on the combo pill, so I was thinking it would be the same. I am just trying to figure out the question I had about how to tell if you are preggy but on the mini pill. I had a spotting/period starting on march 9th and then I got another spotting/period (old blood both times) on march 31st. And that would have been a week early for my normal cycle. Today should have been the second day of my period, but it isn't here. I had sex several time in the month of march (hey, I got married what you expect!!) and then again twice so far this month. So I don't know if maybe I hit the jack pot and got pregnant finally or what. I am thinking last week maybe could have been implantation bleeding (i am soo optimistic..Lol). If so could I test now??? I would love any replys, thanks. Kelly

What's the mini pill? And why are you taking birth control if you want to get pregnant? Take a test if you're late.

The mini pill is a progestin only pill, I am taking it because I have adenomyosis and my periods were too painful and verry heavy at times, and I started getting sick on the combo pill... But I was also put on the mini pill to help me have more chances to ovulate and possiably get pregnant with out completely coming off hormones. But what the mini pill does is make you spot or have a light breakthrough period and I am not sure when to test cause I cant remember when my last real period was while on the combo pill so I am trying to figure out when to test, cause my cycle is different.. I know this sounds confusing, that is why I needed opinions... I don't want to waste any more money on hpt's if I don't have to.. But I am thinking if I don't get af by thursday, I will either call my Dr. And make an appt or take a test... I just don't know when to start the count of when I could have gotten pg if I am, so I know if I am testing too early, ya know?? Kelly.
