I've recently started taking microgynon 30
and i've followed the instructions word
for word. (taking the first pill on the
first bleeding day of my period, taking
the pills at the same time of day etc). I
take them same time everyday. I dont use
any other form of contreception mainly
because as a couple it is prefered and it
says your over 99% protected. Ive heard
some hellish stories about woman taking it
religiously and still getting pregnant. Im
very scared and confused. I had sex during
the 7 day break then got emergancy
contreception 22hrs later due to my
paranoid thoughts. I have had some
brownish discharge and slight period
pains...Am I ok? Not pregnant right? Does
anyone know what the signs would be if you
were pregnant yet still taking the
pill...???
Thank you...Please help

It is possible to get pregnant on the pill
because, like you mentioned, it is not
100% effective even when taken exactly as
directed. Chances are you are not
pregnant if you take the pills every day
and at roughly the same time every day.
You are also protected during the sugar
pill week. However, if you want some
extra protection, you can easily use a
method of non-hormonal birth control in
addition to your pill.
The symptoms of early pregnancy are the
same as symptoms of many other things.
They are often the same as an oncoming
period or of the pill itself, so you can't
rely too much on symptoms when trying to
find out whether or not you are pregnant.
In the future, don't post the same issue
twice. It makes it really confusing when
people are having two different
conversations about the same thing in two
different threads.
