Me and my boyfriend had sex for the first time at the end of December, (we used a condom which I’m pretty sure did not break) and I was on microgynon so I never worried about pregnancy. My next withdrawal bleed was possibly a day late and slightly lighter, but when this came I was reassured I was safe. Pretty much straight after this bleed, I had an accident on my leg which caused me to have multiple xrays and scans – I was asked if ‘there is any chance you could be pregnant?’ to which I answered no but it got me thinking again. Since then I’ve been having symptoms which I know can be brought on by me worrying about it. I took a pregnancy test just to be sure which came out negative (around 6/7 weeks after sex) I had to stop taking microgynon (with 4 left in the strip) on the same day due to needing surgery on my leg, and four days later I had a normal withdrawal bleed (like the others since being on microgynon) and when this bleed ended, I took another hpt (with my first wee of the day) which also came out negative. Could I still be pregnant or is it extreme paranoia? (I was taking the full doses of ibuprofen for two weeks due to my leg, I possibly developed a reaction to this which could account for some symptoms?) SYMPTOMS – Bloating, urinating little and often, slight nausea, gas, slight constipation.
Although your symptoms can be related to pregnancy, with two negative pregnancy tests it is highly unlikely you are pregnant. Your symptoms of bloating, urinating little and often, nausea, gas, and slight constipation appear more likely to be related to another cause such as stress, digestive issues, a urinary tract infection, or another underlying medical condition.
If your symptoms do not resolve or worsen, you should visit your primary care physician for an evaluation.
