Hi Sarahlou,

While it is possible to fall pregnant straight away, it often takes people a little longer having come off the pill. It could be that you tested too early, so testing again now should give a positive result if you are pregnant. But it may well be that it's taking a while for your hormones to settle into a normal balance, and this can produce odd symptoms.

Hope it all works out for you.

Hi R

Just want to thank you for your reply since then my symptoms got worse displaying all the signs of pregnancy so been to see my gp and he explained its was down to coming off the pill and that week i got my period what a relief after all that its made me think twice about ever going in the mini pill in the future as i never want to experience another 3 weeks like that again

Thank you

Hi Sarahlou,

So glad that it worked out for you - the uncertainty is terrible, isn't it?

Take care
