Triphasil question

by dreading1eight, Nov 09, 2003 12:00AM
I'm currently on Triphasil, I just started at the beginning of the month after switching from Yasmin (which I was on 1 month) and before that I was on Ortho-tryclen for about 6 months. I took my last pill tonight (I'm a Sunday start)... The past I'd say week maybe a little more I've felt, well, uncomfortable in my lower abdomen. I know it's where the reproductive organs (for lack of better term) are. Sometimes I'll feel slight cramping, sometimes I double over and a bad cramp will last for a little less for a minute and I'll be fine.... but there's always this odd feeling I've never felt before and my lower back has been achey (achy), I've also been quite moody. Could this be from the new pill? I did miss a pill in my second week (pretty sure it was the second week, possibly third) and I am sexually active with only my fiance but normally do take it every night at 9:00. I also just read that a woman was dieting and drinking alot of water and she got pregnant on Triphasil... which I am dieting and drinking TONS of water. Possible pregnancy here?

I don't know about the dieting and water-drinking, but it is POSSIBLE for any sexually active woman to get pregnant.  Regardless of the type of birth control, nothing is 100% perfect.  Plus, you may have missed a pill.

You will know when you take the inert pills.  If you miss your cycle, take a test.  

good luck!

Thanks Christie! Can you or anyone else explain the heavy discharge along w/ these symptoms? I've had infections before so I know what those are like and it's not an infection type. I'm so confused, my body is completely out of whack this month!
