Right now I'm dealing with frustrating weight gain. Frustrating because I am working on losing weight by following an eating plan and exercising regularly. Since starting the patch, I've gained almost 3lbs. I know this is a common side effect. I also know that breast tenderness is another side effect.
However, hypothetically, could there be a possibility that I'm pregnant? Could you please look at the timeline and see if there's any kind of possibility? (Or tell me I'm a paranoid nut? Hehe.)
- Still on Mircette, last IC was week of Jan 18-24. Was on 2nd week of pills, had some missed day (see above).
- Stopped taking pills in 3rd week, 5 pills in.
- Started patch Feb 8
See, the reason I'm paranoid is because:
1. weight gain
2. breast tenderness
3. frequent urination (although I try to drink a lot of water)
4. cramping in 1st week of patch felt similar to preggo cramps
Should I stop by the drugstore on my way home tonight and pick up an HPT?

Did you
