Hello ladies,
I've been on the combined oral contraceptive pill for years, have never missed a pill, and always take it at the same time everyday (I'm a dilligent girl ). I have 3 pills left in my pack before my pill break, and this morning have experienced brown spotting/break-through bleeding which has NEVER happened to me before. I'm in month 2 on exante, and I know VLCDs can mess with your hormones, but this is very strange for me as my cycles are like clockwork and I've never had any issues like this before.
I've seen a few posts where people have done a VLCD whilst on the pill and became pregnant, and it also seems that spotting/breakthrough bledding can be a sign of early pregnancy. Given that my *ahem* "appetite" has increased considerably of late and my OH has been happy to oblige, I'm starting to wonder whether this could be a pregnancy sign?
I'm 28 and have never been pregnant before, having been on long term oral contraceptives until my career and other things were in order. I desperately want a family in the next few years, but was hoping to get married first, etc... I would be happy if I was pregnant, but certainly haven't been trying to conceive, and probably wouldn't have for a couple more years.
Anyway, I need to stop googling as it's driving me nuts. Doesn't help that I'm TS-ing 100% today and at home all morning so can't eat to distract myself!!
Would love to hear any of your thoughts...
Thanks
