Pregnancy Chances?
by missdenaie, Apr 06, 2007 12:00AM
Hello. I've been on Birth control for 5 years. I was switching to a new Birth Control (ortho tricyclen lo) and I was already on Ortho TriCyclen. I missed an entire week of pills (the starter white ones) and then just started with the Ortho TriCyclen Lo white ones. Everytime my boyfriend and I used a condom, but I just started to get cramps and some spotting (pink) my period is due in 5 days. Should I worry that I can be pregnant or can switching from one pill to the next cause this to happen?

technically, i think either scenario can cause the spotting and slight cramping. but if you properly used condoms, chances are you're not pregnant and it's from switching pills. i wouldn't worry about it yet. i also wouldn't worry if your period doesn't come the exact same day as it always did, because your body respond differently to a different pill. (however, i guess if you're over paranoid about these things like most of us are, you can take a test to ease your mind).
