It's completely understandable to feel nervous — those symptoms you're describing do sound like they're worth investigating! The good news is your GP has already pointed you in the right direction by suggesting a pregnancy test.

The mini pill (POP) is highly effective, but no contraceptive is 100% guaranteed. Pregnancy can still occasionally occur, and the symptoms you're describing — nausea, vomiting, and food aversions (goodbye McDonald's 🍟) — are commonly associated with early pregnancy. It's worth knowing that with endometriosis, pregnancy can sometimes come as a surprise, even when people assumed it might be difficult to conceive. Members of MyEndometriosisTeam have shared stories of unexpected pregnancies, including one who said they were booked for a hysterectomy only to discover they were pregnant.

The most important next step is taking that test so you know where you stand. If it comes back positive, let your doctor know about your endometriosis straight away, as pregnancies with endometriosis benefit from careful monitoring. You've got this! 💛
