Could I be Pregnant?


Hello Caroline

I changed to a new pill at the beginning of May and my periods were normal for the first two months. This time I just bled very slightly on two occasions during my period time. I have been feeling extremely emotional, bursting into tears a lot which is totally unlike me, for the last few weeks. I'm also tired and my stomach feels bloated. Could I be pregnant? I have been having regular sex with my boyfriend but I don't know whether it is possible to have this slight period if I'm pregnant?


Hi Carol,

The symptoms of taking the pill (and there are many) are various, headaches, bloating, tiredness, nausea. bleeding between and during and after!!!! I would suggest that if you don't feel that your compatible with these types (there are others to take and try at your GPs discretion) go back and ask for something more compatible for you.

Small quantity of bleeding is normal and so is quite heavy bleeding too. If you don't feel happy taking these pills then you must go back to your GP and ask more questions.

Regards

Caroline
