I think that's right, yes. If you're worried about being pregnant, take one test, and if it is negative, wait for three days and take another. If the second is negative too, it's highly unlikely you are pregnant.
I had a feeling you thought you were pregnant after that 'bloated' thread.

If you've had a normal period it is very unlikely you're pregnant. Yes, fake periods can happen, but they're certainly not an everyday thing.

You are probably experiencing side-effects courtesy of the pill. Try not to worry. Take a test if that's the only thing that's going to give you peace of mind.

You don't get pregnant and suddenly go whoooosh! Weight gain! It takes weeks and weeks for anything to show too - unless you've been pregnant before apparently.
When I went on the pill my boobs grew loads, but I didn't notice any difference for ages.
Seriously, I doubt you're pregnant. But do a test for safety.
I had what I think MAY have been a "fake" period the other week, but thats only in retrospect (Now that I know I am pregnant). You really shouldn't assume every little thing could be pregnancy, as there are many many other explanation. The only way to know, is to take a test. Infact, the only reason I did was to rule out why I was being sick every morning before going to the dr's, every other symptom I just assumed meant I was about to get my period. Really don't get yourself worked up about it, it's not worth it.

Side effects can still happen even after a long duration of the pill depending on the type. When i first started dianette I was fine, it was great then after a year i was constantly bleeding and was starting to put on weight. If you have been taking it properly ie on time and without being ill or medication interfering its highly unlikely that you are pregnant especially if you have had a period recently. Have you changed your diet at all? Bloatedness can be associated with certain foods or if you havnt been eating well u could just be experiencing general weight gain.

i know i get like this all the bloody time and its realllllly annoying, i dont wana go to the doctors cos ive been there like twice for pregnancy tests and goin there again would be embarrassing and i dont want to 'waste' money on a pregnancy test cos i dont really have that right now.

I am so paranoid about getting pregnant so much because i want it so much (but yes i do realise its bad cos im young and my sister is due her baby in 2 weeks so that will either put me off or make it worse. I want it but i dont at the same time...argh it messes up my head so badly!!!!)
