Any chance I am pregnant?
| Mon, 04-09-2007 - 12:18am |
Ok, this is my first time on here and I have a question that I really need help with. I am on birth control, Yasmin, and have been for about 3 years now. I have been on some type of bctrol since i was 15 and I am now 22. I found out I had polycystic ovaries about 3 years ago or so. Just a little background.
Since I have been on the Yasmin I have never been off on my periods, ever. Always the same time of the month every month. Well not this month. This month, the day I was suppose to start, all I got was some brown colored spotting. This went on for that day and I did nothing for the next 2. Then I started to spot bleeding. Very little. I spotted on and off for about 2 days, it wasnt very much at all. I took a preg test and it was neg. My breasts do seem to be tender on the underside and seem to be swollen. I have had some cramping in my stomache and lower back that seem to feel like mence cramps but not quite as bad and they go away faster. I have been in an extremely bad mood and very tired. Can someone please help me, I called my doc and she just said to wait till next month and see what happens then.....any ideas?? thanks for the help!

The only way to know for sure is a pregnancy test :). Some women don't register a positive for many weeks after conception; it takes longer for their bodies to metabolize the hCG (pregnancy hormone).
I'm surprised your doc said to wait until the next month. If it makes you feel better, take a test as often as you feel comfortable until your next pack of pills runs out. You can also stop taking the pills now and see if you start bleeding. If you do not start within a few days, call your doc again.
I may go take another test to see what it says. I hate this worrying.
One more ? for you guys, if I am not pregnant...when should I stop taking my pills before I want to really start trying to have one in August?
Thanks so much!
My doctor suggested I be off my pills for 3 months before we started trying. She also said to start my prenatals at the same time I went off the pill.
Good luck! :)

I would stop taking the birth control pills until you know for sure that you are not pregnant. That is NOT something you want to take if you are preg. Why not try what that other poster suggested and see what happens if you stop taking them.
Good luck!
