Aa
I'm Nervous..
Hi,
Ill give the best an explanation I possibly can..
Alright, I'm 17 years old, and my girlfriend the same.. we've been dating for about a year, and have engaged in a lot of sexual activity (had a lot of sex). Now, she's on birth control, YAZ to be specific, and her months usually go the same way, she takes the 24 pink pills and then the 4 whites, and she gets her period the first or second day of pinks in the new pack. Alright, I went on a trip on February 12, and came home the 16th. I saw her the 17th, and we had sex, and I came inside her, without a condom on. We've done it many many times before, and so far have never seen a problem. February 19th, she went on a vacation and was gone until this past wednesday (February 25th), and I saw her last night, Friday the 27th. Now, we had some sex, and I didn't orgasm inside her. About an hour later, when she was getting ready to go home, she told me, while bursting into tears, that she had been having weird stomach pains, nausea, headaches, mood swings, and anxiety up the ying-yang. She thinks she's pregnant, but doesn't actually know. She's now on her 3rd white pill tonight (Feb. 28) and her period is due next week. She's beyond stressed about it, and I'm beginning to worry. Can anyone please give me some good news, or some advice on what to do..? Honestly, I'm not completely worried, just a little frustrated and stressed. Someone help me...
Thanks,
Don Trivello

She should go see her doctor. They'll be able to let her know for sure about the pregnancy, but it's also important that they know about the symptoms. It might be she just needs to switch pills (everyone reacts different), or she could have something serious like cysts or whatever (probably unlikely and I'm not doctor)...but at any rate, go to the professionals.
By this point you probably know whether or not your girlfriend is pregnant...but if she is not and she is still having these symptoms please tell her that it is VERY likely that it is the YAZ which is causing her to have her symptoms. I began taking it about 2 weeks ago and on the second week began to feel terrible anxiety, depression, nausea, headaches, weird breathing problems (apparently caused by too much estrogen), crying all the time, etc...Alot of women have had this or similar bad reactions to YAZ - go to the MedHelp forum about YAZ side effects and you'll see how large the numbers are. I stopped taking the pill in the middle of my pac because I was feeling so terrible & am just waiting for the awful side effects to metabolize out of my system over the next week or so (it takes a while).
Hope everything ends up okay & that your girlfriend is feeling better!

Okay, not to sound too harsh or anything, but you do realize that even though birth control is very effective, it is not 100% so! You should always use a condom if you are absolutely sure you want to avoid a pregnancy. Every bit of protection helps. There is a chance she could be that one in a million who gets pregnant while on the pill.
She needs to try and stay calm, not make assumptions and start panicking. If her period has not arrived, it could be due to stress. I have had a period be 2 months late! It's normal. There is a possibility that she could have a stomach virus/flu and that can cause the period to skip as well. Heck, her body could have just decided that it's not going to have a period for a long time. It could even be early menopause.
I suggest trying to get a hold of a pregnancy test if you can. Also, she should try to schedule an appointment with a doctor if possible.
As the boyfriend, just try to be as supportive as you can. Be with her to reassure her and don't let yourself stress out either! Sticking together and talking about it will help the both of you get through this.
I pray everything turns out okay, baby or no. :)

How long has she been on Yaz. Also stress can make her period even later...If she has taken her pills correctly, she should be okay...How long has she been on the pill.
