Help!! i did something stupid!!
| Wed, 05-28-2008 - 2:30pm |
So,
here's my situation. Now that i think about it it was probably really stupid of me, and after searching the web on this, it makes me even more worried. My hubby and I are not planning to have kids yet, we want to have some time to ourselves before becoming parents. For this reason I am on the Pill. We were going out of town, so I didn't have a chance to pick up my prescription, but I didn't want to go off the Pill and then go on it again once we returned, so, I decided to finish off the pack and after my 7 days "break" start taking a new pack as usual, but of a different Pill (i had a "left-over" of a month's worth of a different Pill I used to take in the past). I decided I will take this one for the month and then just switch back to my original one once the cycle's over. The Pills have different amounts of hormones...
I didn't really think much about it, till I found out that when you switch Pills you need to use another form of protection for at least 7 days as it takes that much time for the new Pill to be effective, especially if they have different hormone levels. I've done that TWICE (from my current one to my old one then back to the current one) in a time span of 2 months without any other protection and me and my hubby have sex every day (we are newlyweds:)
I got my period after the cycle with my "old" Pill, however it was few days late and very light, but i didn't think much of it.
Is it possible that i got pregnant? I don't think I have any pregnancy symptoms (at least i wouldn't really know, as I haven't been pregnant) even though i do feel quite moody and my nipples are really sensitive to even touch and i am really hungry all the time, but i thought it just might be caused by switching of the Pills.
any ideas? I'm worried

This is probably the same information you already have.

I was on the pill for 9 years, off for several and then back on again.

Hi,
thanks so much for your input!
I decided that I will wait till my period and see what happens.
Just a small update, my breasts got really sore yesterday and by the evening they were really hurting bad. I asked my husband to check them and see if he can feel something. He said they feel really hard, especially the upper area (and when he touched them, boy did it hurt!)
they still feel really sore today, but not as much (but maybe i just got used to it?)
do you have any thoughts on what that might be? i'm just hoping it's only the switching of the Pills...
it's just very strange because with neither Pill have I ever experienced something like this .
I also feel quite bloated and really moody. Funny how hormones can really change how you feel and act, huh?
