really worried!!! issues with birth control and periods and worried about potentially being pregnant?
Ok, so I was prescribed to Lo-Ovral birth control for my endometriosis. I'm taking it in doses that supress my ovaries so that I only get my period every three months. My doctor told me that the day my next period started to start taking the pills. I was expected to get it on august 24, but on the 22 I had some bleeding. I assumed my period was coming early (its never regular so I just assumed this) and started the pill. Later that day I realized that I was no longer bleeding and that it must have been spotting. The next morning I took the second pill anyway. I called my doctor that day and he said that the point I was at it didn't really matter, that I could stop taking it and wait for my period, or I coult continue taking them anyway; he said that either way there would be some sort of irregularness. I feel like my period should come really soon, I'm having really painful cramps like I usually do before and during my period, have a lot of breast tenderness, and I'm a little bit bloated and have the other typical pms symptoms. But I'm freaking myself out, getting worried that I could be pregnant. I'm worried now, even though I don't think I should be. My sex life is very minimal and finishing never happens for me or my boyfriend because I have too much pain so I can't last very long at all, or do it very often either. On the 20 me and my boyfriend had sex with a condom and he did not even come (as I had to stop from pain), and that was four days before my expected period, so that can't be possible can it? a couple days before that we messed around and he went inside me for like a minute without anything on but it was extremely short and he did not come inside me at all. Aside from those too instances, there is nothing else that I could possobly worry about, but there's no way that I could be pregnant, right? I'm just worrying because it is the 24 today and still no period (its often late, and I realize that my stress isn't helping that) but since I've been taking the pill I've also been really nauseous but I wasn't sure if that was a pill side effect or a pregnancy symptom. I was throwing up the night of the 22 which also worried me but that was accompanied by a fever so I think it was maybe just a bug or something weird that I ate that day. I don't know I'm just worried!! Will the pill make my period even later?
Bascially, can someone give me advice or answer my questions about my taking the pill before my period started? It still has not started and sometimes is up to a week late. Could the pills stop me from getting this period? I am on an 84 pill pack, so if it does, I won't get my period until november. I am so confused and really worried. Is there a chance I could be pregnant? I am freaking out because If I won't get a period until november, I will never have a period to be sure that I'm not. AH :( I just had sex last week, is it too soon to take a hpt?
Please help! please please! I'm only 18 and I'm really worried and really stressed I need some answers I'm really worried :(
