Hey all, it seems that I only remember to come back here when I have a pregnancy related question.
I've been on the pill since last October and have not had any plans to go off it due to the fact that I am also on an antidepressant. I was only going to go off the pill once the antidepressant has been successfully tapered off and I am not quite there yet and not in a hurry to be.
I've been very good with the pill and kept taking it like clockwork every month. However, this past cycle I missed 1 pill from week 2 and 1 pill from week 3. We have dtd here and there (my hubby is mostly away on a course and comes home in the weekends). I did not miss those 2 pills completely, I took them but 24 hours late. In fact it took my taking the pill the net day to realize that I've missed those days.
My period is about a week away (cycle varies from 27-29 days), the only reason I am wondering whether it would come a lot is that I've been having back cramps constantly. I do have lower pelvic cramping also but not as constant as my back ones. The lower pelvic cramps are actually quite bad and I have not experienced cramping this bad ever since I've gone on the pill. It sounds very familiar to my first pregnancy I cramped up to the day of my missed period and got my positive pregnancy test.
Is there an increased chance of pregnancy due to those late pills? I am scared of taking any pain killers or using a hot water pouch in case I am pregnant...lol. Paranoia much? Of course, I know the only way to find out is to test but it is a bit early for me to test and I feel like this week can't pass fast enough!!
