Birth control pills?
Ok so I'm on loestrin. I'm religious when it comes to taking my pull on time. I have an alarm on my phone set for 12:15. I take my pill between 12-12:30. But it's always within that half hour spread.
I've been on this BCP since November last year, and was previously on tri-cyclen lo but changed because I was NOT happy with it. Was as religious with taking it as well.
Here's no question/concern. This month my period was due on Friday (last active pill taken Tuesday, period arrives late Thursday/early Friday) normally I have some cramps and feel gross. My first two days I feel like death, then it slowly lightens and ends Wednesday or Thursday the following week.
This month Thursday was a normal day no cramps or anything. Friday I had spotting, maybe a bit of cramping but not a normal first day. I had a crazy light flow, I basically didn't even need to use a tampon it was so light. My period continued to be silly light until it stopped completely overnight on Sunday.
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years, we always use condoms on top of my birth control, but we did have a possible condom split but thought with my birth control we should be ok. (I know stupid) so we didn't get the morning after pill.
I'm now having stupid bad heart burn and I NEVER get heart burn. It's bad enough that I can eat something that usually helps lessen heartburn and I get heart burn a little while later. I'm also having issues with nausea. Typically I'm a night owl and that's when I get bad nausea. I'm usually in bed at 11pm or so, but now I've got such bad insomnia im up till like 4am.
I realize no one can say 100% if I'm pregnant on here and I should take a test to find out, but I'm wondering if maybe this is the birth control screwing me around.
