hi girls...

well,after being on the injection from the birth of my lil girl bronia,i decided i was wanting another baby before long so decided to come off it and just go back on the pill,after feeling sick with it i stopped taking it at the end of my pack (7day break time) on the 7th day i went to the docs and was given the "patch" my doc said it would be effective streight away and i should have no side effects,so i continued as usual and have changed my weekly patch 3times now but last week started feeling sick constantly,having sore,swollen boobs,tiredness...so i took the 3rd patch off on sat morning...i "feel" preg and have all these symptoms but have done 3tests the last being today that are all neg,i havent come on yet after taking it off. im totally confused as to weather these might jus be reactions to the patch or if i am in the early stages of preg? how soon can a test pick it up?? i just dunno what to think...? HELP!!

THANKS LOVE LAUREN XX

Well most tests will test positive from the first day of your missed period. However coming off the pill and trying other methods of contraception can delay periods some what, and also make them go away completely. Not all contraceptions are right for each and everyone of us, maybe the patches dont suit you.

If the symptoms persist go back to your GP and ask them to change your contrception. There are many different pills, the one you took might not have been right for you, but doesnt mean the next one wont!

If you still think you are pregnant in a few days, test again, in the mean time I'd talk about how you feel with your GP so that when you can be sure the test result, you'll know what methods to try, if any!
