Pregnant?

[Solef_18_03]

Hi there,

Me and my boyfriend has non penetrative sex because embarrassingly he couldn't get his penis in, the first time he tried he was wearing a condom and the second time he was not but neither times he was successful. I am on rivigedon and have finish two packs since then and have had two withdrawal bleeds. I've also taken 5 urine pregnancy tests which have come back negative. I've felt a bit bloated and constipated recently but I've lost 10lbs and I don't know whether it is the stress of not knowing whether I am pregnant that is causing it? Also my low abdominal muscle feels hard and not squidgy is that normal or is it a sign of pregnancy, I would be in my 10th/11th week by now?

Hi there

If all your pills have been taken correctly (ie. not late or missed) and you haven't had a stomach bug your pregnancy tests should be giving accurate results. Your symptoms could be for all sorts of unrelated reasons. Stress can be a big issue with uncomfortable sex, if you can try to relax and know you are covered by your Rigvedon. It might be an idea to keep using condoms to be double reassured though if you are worried.

I hope this helps

Best wishes

I've heard that you can still bleed and have negative urine and blood tests and still be pregnant, is there any way I can be sure I am definitely not pregnant?

Hi there

A Beta HCG blood test is extremely accurate, and so are modern pregnancy tests. You should go and have a chat with a contraceptive nurse to maybe consider an alternative to the pill. A pregnancy test is accurate 21 days after unprotected sex, or if a period is missed or late.

I hope this helps
