I took microlut from when DS was about 6 months old until when we stopped BF at 14.5 months. I actually hadn't had AF when I started taking it but DH and I knew we were not ready for another bub yet and I was getting nervous about relying on BF alone as contraception. So I saw my GP and got a script for microlut, started taking it and within a week..... AF appeared . We were still on about 5-6 BF a day so I blame the microlut for AF. Then AF appeared every 2 weeks for a while (sometimes light, sometimes just spotting sometimes full on AF), I tried to take it at the same time every day but that is just impossible for me. I persevered with it until we stopped BF at 14.5 months and I could take the normal pill again. So in my opinion I think it's probably the microlut messing your body around a little but if you are actively ttc maybe you should take hpt to be sure. Good luck.
Thanks Megs and AJC. I guess everyone's bodies are different, aren't they? But I think it sounds like what you've suggested that it's either the Microlut or I've ovulated (no ovulation pains though). No more discharge here, so it's not enough to be called a period and I've never been a mid-cycle spotter before. I have a history of missed miscarriages (2 before DS1) so I don't want to POAS because I hate the waiting until the 12 week mark. On the other hand, I would need to know if I was preg ASAP so I could get a place in our local Birthing Centre program. The only test I've got here is a Digital, but if I was preg I'd be over 6 weeks by my calculations, so maybe it's worth using it JIC?
