Ok, I've been on the pill since June 2006. No Problems. I am a very very very timely pill taker. About a month ago I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. Strangely, my period came later that week, but it was exactly a week early than i was expecting. It started out brown and light so i was worried it was implantation bleeding but it eventually turned a bright red. On the day I was supposed to get my period, it got very heavy and lasted another week! So i had it for two weeks straight technically. That counts as my period right? Can stress contribute to the fact that it came early? Cause that would make sense then.

Well anyway,this month I've used a condom every time as a second backup and about a week into my new pack my nipples got slightly tender. It's not EXTREMELY bad like some of the posts I've read, its just noticeable. And my boobs are not sore. I've been getting funny stomach cramps but not nausea or anything. I'm due to get my period now again in 2 more weeks.

Should I be worried about the tender nipples? I know that's a sign of pregnancy but I've a used a condom this month and never missed a pill! Could anything else be the reason for the soreness like the pills themselves? I've been on it long enough now to have adjusted but who knows! I was on antibiotics for a bladder infection, i don't know if that has anything to do with it but theyve been sore for about a week now. And again, its not overwhelming, just noticeably tender.

Please someone get back to me! I'm sorry this is so long, but i wanted to explain everything... i'm kinda worried about it

how long ago were you on antibiotics? you should always use a back up while on antibiotics with the pill be cause there is a chance that it can decrease the effectiveness. stress can mess with your body too and it could just be an off cycle. i had one a couple months after my first son was born and was bleeding for like 3 weeks after that my cycle went back to normal.

I was on the antibiotics a week AFTER my two week period ended. Actually now that I think about it, the tenderness started the same day I started the antibiotics(which was later in the day). So I'm not sure that is the reason for it, but what do you think?
