hi everyone,

im panicking! i cant really recall when this started happening, but ive been urinating pretty much non-stop at night for at least the past week. i never feel as if my bladder is empty, and when i do urinate, i don't excrete much. during the day i go to the bathroom like i usually do, without any problems, but it seems around 9 (an hour after i take my pill) i suddenly feel this intense urge to go. im not as worried that i took my pill wrong (refer to previous posts lol) after calling my gyno to double check if i did it right. and frequently urinating is the only pregnancy-related symptom i have. i just started my first dark blue pill - last week of actives for me (im on tri-sprintec now after switching from ovcon-35). im quite nervous, if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone has an explanation, PLEASE help me out! im not having any other pregnancy symptoms and it doesnt hurt/burn to urinate. thank you all so much for your time!

It ALMOST sounds as if you have a bladder infection.... But since you mentioned no pain, then i hesitate to say that. I too have been experiencing frequent urination for the past 2 months. Although, i've noticed i have increase my intake of liquids (may you have without noticeing due to warmer weather, maybe not). I wouldn't worry too much about it. I noticed the frequency last month and had a normal period, which now i don't worry about pregnancy. It can be from the new pill, it just all depends. Watch how much liquids you take in and see if that makes a difference. You also mentioned that this is the last week of active pills. For me, frequent urination has ALWAYS been a sympton of PMS, and since you are in your last week of actives, it is very possibly that these are just symptoms. I have noticed PMS symptoms in the 2nd and 3rd week of active pills... Sounds crappy but just some pills bring it on earlier. Wait to see if you have a normal period and if you don't then i'd take a pregnancy test just to ease your mind. But i don't feel you have much to worry about. I'm not even sure how soon frequent urination starts when your pregnant...

Good luck to you!
