Could i be Pregant? Or is it the Birth Control?

by Brendan_Stephanie, Jul 19, 2008 09:39AM
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

you still need to use a condom! if you were pregnant your stomach would be "a littile bigger"

spottings from the pill. everythings sounds like its from the pill. if you think your pregnant why dont you take a test?!

but i dont think your pregnant

i think all your symptoms are from the pill you should go to the doctor, he will probably put you on an alternative pill or dosage. If your worried you're pregnant you should take a test or tell the doctor.

my period comes in about 4 days.    but i dont get these symtoms before my period. Thank you for answering!

well it seems like very common birth control symptoms.  if you do not get your period in 4 days, then you can take a test.  But i can not stress the importance of assuring even though you are on birth control, that you practice safe sex as well.

id have to say at 15 maybe you should consider waiting for sex, i know i know another grown up giving me the wait story.  see how scared you are though? what if you were pg? is that something that you could handle?  people can and do fall pg every year because their birth control failed them. good luck!

well i took a test and it said negetive, and today im suposed to get my period and i havent gotten it yet.

give yourself a few more days....i know waiting is a PITA, but you're stressing it could be delaying af.....if you still get a negative in 3 days, and your af hasn't started, you need to discuss this withyour mother/father and have them arrange for an appt with an ob.....there is the possibility that you're not pregnant, and your bc is just throwing you for a loop....the b/c pill is not for all women, and as young as you are, you may want to switch to something like orthotricyclen, or the patch.....i know i was only able to take the pill for 6 months b4 it made me sick and i always thought i was pregnnat....i switched pills from a generic to ortho, and was fine.....

ok i have one question what is af? and oh my god i cant tell my mom because she would think i am pregant like she doesnt listen to me and idk she just over exagerates, but yeah ill take another test if i still dont get my period, i havent gotten it yet, but i guess ill keep waiting, if i dont get it ill try talking to her, and ask, ill keep posting if anything happens or write back =]

Thanks for commenting

af=aunt flow....your period lol....but it's ok....somewhere on the right side of your screen, you'll see a link for the acronyms.....alot of them i'd never even heard of till i got on here!

hum.....as much as i know i probably shouldnt say this, i can't think of anything you could tell her to have her help you get it, as most people know what it is now!

ok today when i woke up i bleed maybe a quarter size drop and i put a tampon in and i took it out 4hrs later and i had nothing just light brown sort of like when your ending your period. and so i put another tampon in and then went ice skating for about 5hrs and i  took the tampon out and it was sort of almost halfway full with brown and red blood so is this normal or should i still get it checked?

by Kim1989, Jul 25, 2008 05:18PM
who knos. go to the doctor. whatever it is doesnt sound normal wether it be strange period, pregnancy issues

my guess is that its from your pills

by Rosa20, Jul 25, 2008 06:33PM
actually when i was your ge my period was like that,,,,brown when i start and brown when i ended....its just old blood...i wouldnt worry about it..but if its not that much blood you shouldnt use tampons....havent you heard of toxic shock syndrome?? Its not saafe to use tampons unless your bleeding enough to use them and it doesnt sound like your bleeding enough....its more common is younger teens as well so please be careful when using them!! And its a good thing your using b.c but i was also on b.c and wasent using condoms and guess what...i at your age..got pregnant....went through the whole tenth grade with a big belly and everything....if you dont want a kid use protection and please take this seriouse...you cant even tell you mom about it..how would yopu be able to tell her your pregnant!! Girls your age have no ideahow hard it is to have babies and to have to grow up sooner...you seem like a mature younge girl and you know your conciquences which is why your on b.c but you need to be extra protected....i dont think your pregnant from what i read...but good luck and if you still dont come on in about a week go to your doc..and please dont take what i have said as an offence...i just want you to understand that it can happen soo quick and you may not even relize it!! Keep us posted! Good luck girlie!!
