Jet lag or pregnant

Hiya I have been lurking here for a while and while DH and I are not ttc I am interested in reading up on everything for when the time comes.

Anyway something has prompted me to write my first post. I think I already know what you ladies answer will be- test. But anyway here is the situation.

DH and I arrived back from Europe on Monday and on Tuesday AF was due. It arrived as normal but then was a lot lighter than usual and now it has completely stopped. (Usually it lasts at least 5 days). The thing is I am on the pill but last packet I forgot to take a couple and so I didn't have the "sugar pills" on that packet. (Also I didn't want AF while we were away). I took the pills correctly while we were away apart from the time difference could possibly have screwed up the days?

I have googled jet lag and pregnancy but I can't really find what I am looking for. I did read that if you get jet lag a lot it can make you skip your period, but this is just once and I didn't skip it exactly. Has anyone else had this experience? I really don't think think I am pregnant so I don't really want to waste a test. On the other hand if I am I want to know now and not wait to see if AF turns up next month.

What do you think?

Yer just test to find out otherwise it was a period. I have had a really insanely light period for 3 days and wasnt pregnant it was just my period

Hmmm I think I will do a PG test at home tonight or tomorrow morning. I really don't think I am but I want to be sure. The stuff I read on the net about implantation bleeding sounded pretty much like what I am experiencing and like I say my periods are usually really regular. If I am not PG then jet lag can really screw with your body!

I still don't understand the pill totally. It is supposed to stop you from ovulating so that you can't get PG. But the packet says it is really bad if you miss pills just before the sugar ones (which is what I did). But if i ovulated wouldn't it be in the middle of my cycle like normal? Or if you miss a pill does it mean you could ovulate then? We didn't do the deed around the time i missed the pill but we did around the time "normal" people would have ovulated.
Funny thing is although the timing isn't perfect I actually kind of think it would be nice to be PG. We will see...

BFN.

I will go back to lurking now but I look forward to the time I can join in conversations again. Judging By DH's reaction to the latest possibility that won't be for quite a wee while.

Thanks and all the best.
