Q.

Pill and preg

I Know that this is a question that has been asked many times, but would like it if any of you could share some personal experiences and stories about getting pregnant on the pill and not knowing it/possible symptoms?

I have been on the pill for more than 10 years and only stopped it to conceive. I am on my second pack and I have been experiencing strange symptoms. Yes, I am one of those persons that are sceptical about persons getting pregnant on the pill, BUT

I have breast tenderness, heartburn and some nausea and spotting (I know that this is normal as it takes the hormones about three months to sort itself out)

Let me make it clear that I have NEVER had heartburn, even in my pregnancies, but really, I think something is up lol

I also know that the pill tricks your body into thinking that it is pregnant and mimics symptoms such as breast tenderness etc

So, It''s like my mind and body is telling me two different things and would love it if you would care to share your stories!!

I did suffer a lot from diahorrea and had extreme stomach problems which I was given antibiotics for in the previous pack. I have heard that these can also have an effect on the pill?

With the history of anti biotics use you really could be pregnant. If you were on the pill for the long maybe should be knowing that during the use of such treatment a condom is to be used or you likely to be pregnant. Pills are generally safe but with precaution. Do a pregnancy test or consult....

I know two people who have fallen pregnant while on the pill. SInce you say you were on antibiotics, it is possible it could have happened then becasue antibiotics tamper with the effects of the pill.

Maybe do a home test if the symptoms persist.

My sister got pregnant on the pill TWICE!!!
So its possible!
But, if its only your second pack you may be adjusting.... wait untill missed period before testing.
