Early period/missed pill/sickness ??

[a2b4]

Im 8 days into taking my 2nd packet of the combined pill but iv been sick for a couple of days, and im starting to feel like im going to start my period. Im going to stop taking the packet im on and then start again after my period on the normal day i always do. otherwise i'll be having 2 periods this packet! I dont take the pill for contraceptive purposes so im not risking anything that way, i really just take it to control my period. Does that sound ok?

Hi there, if you've actually been sick or had an upset stomach you might not have absorbed enough of the pill to skip your period so you might end up pretty much getting one anyway. I take the pill end to end like you to control my periods and every now and again my body obviously just decides it needs a clear out and I get spotting. if I keep on taking the pill i get this spotting right up to when i take my break, when i then get a proper period. if you're only on day 8 thats a lot of days of spotting! Whereas if you just take a break now, get your period out of the way, then don't take a break at the end of the packet, you'll probably feel much better. If you don't take the pill for contraception this won't cause you any problems at all.

probably not the case but regardless of using the pill sickness and the feeling like your going to get your period are exactly how i felt just before i found out i was pregnant both times. maybe a pee test wouldnt be outa the question!
