I ve been taking microgestin for about 4 years now and on birth control for 7. In the beginning of 2013 I was off of the pills for 2 months and started back. The pack that I m on now I m into my 3rd week and I have been experiencing breakthrough bleeding or withdrawal on month long. This has never happened in the 4 years that I ve been on the pill. I m also experience fatigue , stomach cramps, and mild back aches. Also, I take my pills back to back so that I do not have periods at all. Should I take a pregnancy test? Is it possible that the hormones are not strong enough anymore? Is it possible to get pregnant even though you take the pill everyday ( just not the same time everyday)?
Hello, With microcystin pregnancy rate is quite low. But you started new pack after stopping 2 months and above features may be associated with adverse effect of the pill itself or possible conception. If you have missed period, it is better to undergo one home pregnancy test at the earliest and repeat the test after waiting 7 days to rule out pregnancy. Kindly, consult with your gynecologist after that and take suggestive measure. In the meantime, take balanced diet, Chat Doctor.  Good luck.
