| Re: Pancreatitis/Spotting/Pregnant?
Kalishea - I agree with the pregnancy test. They-re not accurate until your HCG is at a high enough amount to give you a positive result (if you are pregnant).
However, you don't have to wait until your period is due to find out if you're pregnant. Go to your doctor and ask for a pregnancy blood test that MEASURES the amount of HCG in your blood. You must ask specifically for this test as the doctors usually only do the test that gives you a yes or no answer. That test is more accurate than a HPT but still leaves room for mistakes. So ask for the test that measures the amount of HCG in your blood. I wouldn't have a urine test. These are about as accurate as a HPT.
Because you're on the pill, and providing you've been taking it properly, haven't missed any medication and haven't been poorly; the chances of you conceiving while on the pill are significantly lowered but its not impossible to conceive while on the pill.
The spotting you've had, could be because of your pancreas infection, a UTI or pregnancy. I cant really say. The best thing to do is do what I said above and speak to your doctor about the spotting.
Take care and hope I've helped you some.
