Started Pill Mid-Cycle

[lissyb62]

Hi there everyone,
Well I've gone from trying to have a child with DH for 3 years to being single and now attached again but not TTC... However...

I started on Monofeme mid cycle, I'm not charting but I know I was close to ovulation time by my body and I started the pill around then.

Yes had unprotected intercourse and curious to hear your opinions, if I've been taking the pill since ( 2 weeks now), am I protected, or would I have been somewhat protected?

I know it says after 7 days from first white one etc etc... but If I by chance ovulated a few days before taking and have been taking it since, what are the chances of pregnancy..

Furthermore...What should I be looking for if I am because I don't know whether what I've been feeling is pregnancy or pill

Felt really "sooky" thursday night, and Saturday started wanting to cry for no reason...then i bawled my eyes out and I was fine, my BB's have been hurting, happens normally a week after ovulation but dulls, they are still sore and feel "full".

I woke up this morning feeling flu-ish and feel it now but no fever.

I feel nausea and have been for a few days on and off.

I'm hungrier earlier.

I'm SUPER sleepy even after a good sleep.

When I need to pee, I NEED to do it NOW.

Are these side affects of the pill as-well?

It could go either way. Best way to find out is test. When is AF due?

I would test. Those symptoms sound pg to me.

I did a bit of googling for you and it says you must use other contraceptives for at least 7 days (as you know). The side effects of Monofeme don't appear to include need to pee, but could include nausea. I just googled Monofeme and the first thing that came up was vic gov health pamphlet. That had lots of side-effects. Might be worth a look.

Thanks for this ladies,

AF would be "normally" due in 2-3 days, but if going off the pill it would be another week and a half.

I have gotten a couple of tests and I'll have a go tomorrow and just wait and see.
If it's side affects of the pill I'm definitely going off it! Don't like this feeling!

Blergh!

Just noticed my signature...I need to remember how to change this to suit the current situation lol.. wow...flashbacks!
