Hi, I have a question concerning the side effects I am experiencing on birth control and how likely it is that i could be pregnant. I began Yaz Birth Control Sunday January 4th (i'm a sunday starter). My period began the week before, Sunday Dec 28th. I had unprotected sex Thursday January 1st late in the evening. I am normally very regular, about a 28-30 day cycle. I see my fertile days are thursday 8th-monday 12th. I know sperm could potentially have lasted that long if i ovulated very early, but would the birth control have stopped ovulation?
I have been taking the pill regularly, but have been experiencing light bleeding for over a week now, and today I am experiencing cramps. According to a natural 28 day cycle, i should get a period on sunday the 25th, and a pregnancy test last night came up negative. My breasts feel a little swollen but not tender, but they normally feel much more tender before my period when i'm not on birth control. I don't seem to have any other signs of pregnancy, besides bleeding, which seems to be too heavy to be implantation bleeding (light pink and brown). The bleeding i'm experiencing is darker red with some small clotting.
What are the chances that my birth control stopped me from ovulating?
Thank you!
Jody
