pregnancy and the pill

[Morrisonker]

It's a bit 'what if' but I've just come off the pill for my week break after running 3 packets together. I've been pretty good about taking them and can't remember a time that I was ill or might have somehow missed one but my bleeding this week has been *very* light. I know my body and this isn't normal. Would I still get a bleed during the break if I was pregnant? Or is the 3 month run together likely to have made my bleed lighter.

I will get a pregnancy test tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone can help just now?

Hi Morrisonker I had exactly the same symptoms as you, and luckily I was not pregnant. Running 3 packs together, even though my doctor said it was ok, seemed to mess everything up and what I did to resolve this was to just take 2 packs straight thru, everything seemed to go back to normal then. Alternatively, if like me, you don't want periods at all, try the Depo injection. I've been on this several years now and it suits me fine.
