I am slightly confused at when you can take a test. I want to take a test - just for my own piece of mind, but I have took my pill back to back (just started the second packet), so when should I take it?? Im worried about what I did 1 month ago (just after I came off my break), so can I take a test?? It normally says after a missed period, but I aint missed one!! Also I am going to stop taking the pill till I know for sure, but the pill wont mess the result up?? BTW Im on Microgynon.
Thanks peeps

Boots had an offer of by one get one on the tests i bought (first response) so it would probably be a good idea to get 2 or 3 just to be sure.
If it was a month ago you should be able to do the test now and get a good result, you don't need to come off microgyn to do it, shouldn't affect the results in anyway.
They work best if you do them first thing in the morning.
Brook, which provides free and confidential sexual health advice to young people, has some information about pregnancy tests. Their website says: If the test is negative, but you don't have a period, you should take a second test a week later. If you want more information, you could try ringing Brook's helpline on 0800 0185 023 (M-F, 9a-5p), or submit a question on our askTheSite service.
All the best!
I came of the pill for abit incase I was pregnant, but now I am on a period! came on this morning, is ir just normal withdrawal bleeding?? I spoke to my mate today and she said the bledding may be withdrawal bleeding but she did bleed when he had her 1st kid, so that made me really worried. I havent told my fella cos he's away with work and I cant about this stuff over the phone! Family has gone on holiday, and my mate is going on hol saturday, so I've no-one to talk to.
I'm gonna do a test tomorrow, is it worth it tho??? When I started bleeding, I thought it was an early period and nothing to worry about! I've never had withdrawal bleeding, just heard about it so I guess its quite common!
Sorry for all the questions!:angel: :flirt:
