Is Missed Period And Fluttering In Stomach Sign Of Pregnancy?

HI, I am 21yrs old I have 2 children, since having my daughter 2 yrs ago i had continuous bleeding which after several test my gp put down to being hormonal, i eventually came of the pill (marvelon) last october and to my surprise my periods fell into a regular 28/5 cycle. In january I was an idiot and had unprotected sex, I have not had a period since, I have been to my gp who has done bloods and said everything is fine, I have done a dozen home pregnancy tests which are all negative, I have now started gaining wait for no apparent reason (only around my stomach area) I also feel occasional fluttering in the bottom of my stomach. I am too afraid to go back to my doctor because I feel like she thinks I'm mad, but it is bothering me, what is your medical opinion?

Hallow Dear,

Marvelon is a contraceptive pill. Marvelon pill contains desogestrel 0.15 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.03 mg. If you are taking Marvelon regularly, you do not have to be concerned about pregnancy due to unprotected sex as Marvelon itself provides you protection.

Oral contraceptive pills do result in weight gain. Fluttering in the abdomen is due to the gastrointestinal disturbances due to the increased acidity due to Marvelon. Some antacid will relieve you from this symptom.

Since you have missed your period with negative pregnancy tests, you may get ultrasonography to confirm the pregnancy status. If you are not pregnant, you may discontinue the pills and you will get withdrawal bleeding within 4-7 days.

By the way, I hope you are taking Marvelon pills cyclically and not continuously. If you take them continuously, you will not get menses.

I hope this helps you.
