Hello.

I have a problem.

December 3rd to the 9th I took my last week of active Alesse. I was switched birth control pills due to shortage of Allesse. I was swtiched to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. I attempted to skip my period the same week I switched from one pill to another instead of taking my last week of inactive pills of Alesse which was December 10th to the16th. I usually start my period on a tuesday, but nothing happend so I assumed it was working. But I still felt as though I was going to have my period due to symptoms I get such as lower back aching and soar breasts and such. I started a light to moderate bleeding on the night of the 13th which is a wednesday and continued to monday the 18th. I hear that this could have been breakthrough bleeding which I read about. I called my doctor and he said that he needed to put me on a monophastic pill similar to Alesse cause the Triphastic one (orth tri-cyclen lo) was the reason I was bleeding. I was then told to start taking Yasmin which I started taking the following week December 17th to presently. As I said bleeding continued through to the 18th, but was very light at that point. The whole problem is that I had sex with no condom and he did pull out a good 2 mins before he came. But I have been having period/pregnancy like symptoms for the two first weeks of the Yasmin pill, but I was told it that even though they are very similar to being pregnant or having your period, the reason why I was having these symptoms was because my horomones are bouncing off the charts from being switched from one pill to another to another. But this past week, I feel little pressure like pain in my lower right hand side of my abdomen..around the apendix area, also, feelings of being slightly gasy/nauseas.....I've been freaking out lately for the past three weeks wondering if I may be pregnant..? could it be? I should get my period tomorrow night. But I stressing and I need a little support or something..

I'm pretty much wondering if I should take a pregnancy test or go see my doctor?
Help would be great.

try to wait a few days and see if you are late. if you dont get af then i would test to be sure. your cycle may be messed up from all the pill switching.

I would say to stick with one pill and wait and see how things go.
