new, worried, and on the pill...
| Mon, 11-10-2003 - 12:32am |
I have absolutely no idea what to expect so I'm hoping someone here can help me. I just started taking orthotricyclen lo pills in August. My last period was just October 20th, so for all I know I should expect my next November 17th. I recently spent some time with my boyfriend after a long time apart, October 30th through November 3rd. (sorry there's so much detail) I usually have PMS symptoms starting a week before my period, but they are different this time. Instead of a really bad cramp that lasts a couple hours then eases off for a while, I have had one dull cramp for the past couple days. I've noticed discharge that has never happened before. I know it's extremely soon so no real symptoms would show up, I am just nervous. My pill schedule was off during the time (took it late most days due to the time zone change) I was with my boyfriend and I know that lowers accuracy, plus the doctor said they would not be as effective for me as they are with others...should I worry? Should I wait to take a test or go on to the doctor? Should I continue to take my pills or stop until I know for sure? I hope someone can help me!
