Question

pregnant ??
I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'd like to ask anyway.
I've been on the pill for about 5 years now, I take it regularly, maybe miss it once in a while, but not often.
Over the past few months I seem to have put on a lot of weight, especially in the stomach area (not so much hips / bum), I have still been getting my periods though (last about 3 / 4 / 5 days).
is is possible that I'm pregnant, even though I'm still getting them, I don't think so, but would just like to check.
(I've heard about "ghost periods" while on the pill, what exactly are they?)
thanks a lot

Hi Worried,
Some people to bleed during pregnancy and it could look like a menstruation. Just buy a urine pregnancy test at the pharmacy and check for your own peace of mind.
