Pregnancy or problems with BC?
On March 21st and March 29th I had unprotected sex while on Junel birth control. I had my period from March 24th through March 27th. Yesterday, May 5th, I had pain in my uterus that felt like ovulation. However, I know this shouldn't be happening because I am on the pill. Today, along with a little less of that pain, I am having brown, thick discharge. I've read that sometimes the horomones in the pill a gal takes might not be strong enough and can therefor cause breakthrough bleeding. But I've also read that this brown discharge can be a sign of implantation and pregnancy.
I am very concerned as none of this makes sense. I do not want to be pregnant, which is why I am on Birth Control in the first place.
I have serious anxiety, so hopefully someone can help me pretty quickly!
Do I need to get a pregnancy test? I'm too afraid to go to my parents while I'm still this unsure because they think that I haven't had sex in a couple months. (I broke up with the last guy but am seeing someone else without them knowing)
Thank you.

Family history doesn't always play a part in it. I also have family history of issues concerning pregnancy and I had absolutely no issues. I got pregnant the month we started trying. My mother aunt and grandma had issues surrounding conceiving. The break through bleeding could be the type of pill you are taking. I also had issues with different types of bc. I had break through bleeding all the time and eventually my period kinda came when it wanted. Switching sounds like your best option to talk to your doctor about. I wasn't able to switch because of other medical issues. But your doctor would be better to tell you whats best for you. If you take them properly you probably aren't pregnant although its always possible
UPDATE: the bleeding has increased to that of a light to medium day of period flow. It's red and a tish less mucous-y. What does this mean?
If you are having sex you could be pregnant...no matter how many precautions you take. Take a test in a couple weeks. If you have an ob call and explain to them they may want to do a blood test witch can detect earlier.
That's what I assumed. Is there any other explanation for this breakthrough brown discharge? I don't have other pregnancy symptoms and have been under tremendous stress lately.
Also, I haven't been taking the pill at EXACTLY the same time each night, which I've read that with low hormone doses (such as the one I'm taking), if you aren't super precise, you may experience bleeding.
I will call my gyno tomorrow to talk about switching pills when she is in the office. My mother and other female family members all had tremendous difficulty conceiving, so I doubt a pregnancy is even entirely likely for me in general. However, I do know that sometimes there are exceptions.
There is no way I would be able to keep a pregnancy. I cannot financially support a child yet, and having a baby would hinder all my plans for the future when I intend to have kids. I come from a very conservative southern family, so I don't know how I'd go about all this. Hopefully I am not pregnant!

You won't test positive until a missed period . The test will come back negative if you do it this soon because your hug levels are not high enough for the test to detect.
Isn't it too early to take a test? If I AM pregnant, this would be the second week. Do you have to wait to miss a period to take a test?
