Well, Ive posted here several times before...To catch anyone up who may not know: I've been on BCP for a loonngg time and consider myself to be very responsible in taking them. I dont remember even being late. AF came last month on time- however, I was much lighter than normal and AF didnt stay as long. In the past week or week or so, Ive had nausea (it woke me up at 3 am last night), heartburn, and what I can only describle as "flutters" in my stomache...Ive seen people talking about having a vertain taste in their mouth- I dont know what that is about...I guess I just chalked this up to PMS (except teh nausea- thats never happened).
Well, this past friday, I had a routine doctors appt with my primary care provider (not my ob/gyn). I had mentioned what I was experiencing and he brushed me off, saying the there was a bug going around.
I guess what my question is....well, I dont think I even had one, I'm just so confused...I see everyone on here talking about their symptoms...Im not sure if I even have any..Im on BC- this shouldnt happen, right?
ugh. Im sorry- just needed to vent.

Hi there, well we're always here to listen anytime you need to vent. I'm not sure if you had a question, if you did I can try to help you. It sounds like you're just not sure if you might be pregnant or not, right? Well, if you're late for AF, try testing. If it's still showing up (-) then see if your dr will do a blood test... those are more sensitive than the urine tests, but most dr's offices won't do them unless you're late for AF and still getting negatives. Good luck, hope you get the answer you're looking for... let us know how you're doing... :)

I guess Im just not sure of the symptoms Im experiencing...Ive never been pregnant and never had a reason to think I was either. But, this nausea Im experiencing is driviing me crazy!!!I can only explain it as this weird "fluttering". I started my sugar pills in my BCP last night...so we'll see.
