Could i be Pregnant? Or is it the Pill?

by Brendan_Stephanie, Jul 19, 2008 05:31AM
Hi, i was wondering could i be pregnant if i take birth control (Loestrin24 Fe) When i first started taking birth control i threw up the first morning, and that was the only time i threw up while taking Loestrin. And during the first month i was spotting and i eventually got my period on normal timing. now its my 2nd month and i havent missed any days taking the pill, but i have been having unprotected sex, and my stomach looks a little bigger, and if am in heat for to long my stomach starts to hurt and i feel like i have to throw up, i havent been spotting like the first month but if i just put any pressure on my stomach it hurts, it hurts when i lay on my belly too. but today around 9:30 am i threw up. I feel like i have been more tired and if i sit down for a while and then stand up i feel dizzy, im not sure if this is all from the pill, but i am having very different symtoms now then the first month taking the pill

Thank you please let me know what you think about this!

A lot of women experience side effects for up to 3 months of taking the pill until their body gets used to it and settles down. When i first started taking the pill i experienced 'morning sickness' on a few occassions. I dont know too much about the bloating, but some women on the pill suffer from water retention (bloating) which may be what's happening to you. I tried 'skipping' my period once by following the instructions that came with my pill. It only half worked, i had my period very lightly the whole time, but seeing as you havent said anything about skipping your period, i dont have much of an idea as to why you'd be spotting. Maybe it was just because it was the first month, or maybe you started the pill at the wrong time?. Tiredness and Dizzyness are both normal side effects caused by the pill though.

well i started on a sunday after my period, which my mom and sister told me to do, i took a test and it came out negetive, and on the first month i got my period on normal timing, so can you miss periods, even if you take your pill everyday? like i have have a been taking my pill from 7:20 to 10:30pm just becuase i forgot to take them at my normal time 8:50 [ on my first month i took them at 8:50pm everyday] and now i keep forgeting and end up taking them at around 9pm to 10:30 so can that mess up my period cycle?


thanks =]
