Hi, looking for similar experiences here and any advice.
**I don’t have any children or have ever been pregnant. I am also not trying for a baby.
Tried to make an account on Mumsnet but it wouldn’t let me post a thread on there so hope it’s okay on here.
So I am on the progesterone only contraceptive pill (Cerelle). I have been on this pill for roughly 4 years, and as advised by GP, to take this pill continuously without breaks. I have not had a period in 4 years.
2 days ago I noticed some spotting in my underwear and when I wiped on the toilet. Pinkish-light brown colour. I’m still spotting a tiny bit today. This is extremely rare for me as I haven’t had any type of spotting or bleeding for 4 years.
I normally take my pill before bed. But 6 weeks ago I had unprotected sex and didn’t take my pill until the next night. (I took 2 which is advised on packaging)
These past few days along with the spotting I have felt really fatigued and had a bit of lower back ache.
I took a pregnancy test earlier (FirstVue from Poundland) which came back negative. Although I did take it in the middle of the afternoon after a couple of glasses of water. Since taking the test I’ve researched online and drinking water could affect the results?
I have another test so will take it tomorrow morning with the first wee of the day.
My main concerns are:
• Has anyone else became pregnant on progesterone only pill without breaks?
• Is it worth buying a more expensive test I.e Clear Blue?
This is just to put my mind at rest as this would be an unwanted pregnancy.
Thank you
