What could be happening???

[Shawndell]

Hey sorry to bother some of you but I just have a question... Hope you can possibly help.  Me and hubby have been trying to conceive and hopefully it will happen soon.  Ok so here goes... I recently just got off bc and I haven't been on it long.  Almost 2 months.. So not a long time to really do anything right?!?!?  Well I had my period the 1st month and it was different... I never seen it happen like that...   It didn't show in my pantyliner and it wasn't enough to wear a tampon or anything... But then it lasted like that for 3 1/2 days and then it got a little stronger.  I know my doc. said that bc will lighten up your periods so I agreed bc I'm anemic.  But I quit taking the pill as of Friday 10/5/07.  And I haven't been taking them as accurately as they say.. I have missed by hours but I heard that is ok.  And somedays after taking them I would vomit so I didn't really get that dos.  Well me and the hubby had sex on Friday and again on Sunday... I am now going on the 4th day of not starting and I usually start the day before or after the last month.  I haven't really any symptoms but the ones that feel like when I'm about to start but it doesn't hurt me like it normally would.  My breast are tender and I have noticed that I have some pains in my lower abdomen and now when I brush my teeth I want to gag.....  Does anybody know what could be happening... Again I apologize for this being so long... But everyone is open to leave a comment!!! :)

When I was pregnant with my son I didnt want to eat because everytime I would eat it would make me sick, so it got to the point that i would only eat late in the evening and go to bed. The first symptoms I noticed was things tasted different and smells were much stronger. But when I noticed that it was about a week before my missed period, so just wait bout two weeks then take a hpt

[Shawndell]

Yeah I heard that is true.  But honestly I wasn't on bc before and haven't gotten prego.  And we don't use protection.  But then again we coulda been having sex on all the wrong days.  And we didn't  have intimacy as often like we shoulda if we were trying to conceive.  But thanks for your advice Cassie I greatly appreciate it.  Yes maybe I should go and buy some.  I will def. keep you posted as you should me.  Thanks again.

You know after reading this again, I noticed that yes I had lighter periods when I was on the pill first but they say that the first month or two you still want to use a back up method because its takes a while for the pills to be completely effective. It doesnt really matter the hour thing when it comes to takin the pills as long as it is everyday. But you do have me thinking that you need to take a hpt... and just use the same advice as you gave me.   ;)

[Shawndell]

No I haven't.   I figured it was too early.  And i just don't wanna see a negative.  But this was my first time on bc and I heard that it could regulate your hormones.  So I thought it could help on getting prego. but i just don't know anymore.  Its like on Monday when i was in class i just got really dizzy.  My friend asked if I was hungry but I've been having a loss of appetite.  Like today I've only eaten a pack of crackers and I'm not hungry.  But i get really hungry about 2 in the morning.  Its so crazy.  I just wish I could know for sure if I was pregnant so I can go ahead and be all excited. ya know.

Ok alot of times takin some sort of BC can mess up your system, but then again it does sound like pregnancy symptoms.... Have you taken a hpt??
