Hi again....ok, i posted with a bc question, im on bc and think i may be preg. i take my bc everyday, missed 1 2 months ago and never doubled up but that doest matter now (i dont think)i started spotting 4 days after dh and i had intercourse, af isnt due for 1 1/2 weeks. I have been experiencing some of the same symptoms i did w my daughter, gas, bloated, semi-frequent urination, very very thirsty all the time, slight back pain and some crampiness. I dont know, i think i am imagining things because after having my daughter 8 months ago, every time we have intercourse i think im pregnant, because i know alot of people who got pregnant on the pill and i think im just scared to have another sooo soon!! has anyone else ever felt this way? or does anyone know someone who got preg on the pill while taking it right?? please give me some feedback, its ok if you flat out say im crazy.....cuz i think i am!!!!!! LOL......thanks Jenn

i'm in the same boat, only not on birth control~ i'm really paranoid, now, and my daughter is almost 9 months old... i'm 3 days late, my tests are neg (with that hint of a shadow, where the pos line would be)... i am not feeling ANY period-pains (bloating, cramping, etc) and i dont have my normal discharge, (usually 2 days before AF starts)...

now, for you, i'd say you could be, and it was bleeding from implantation, but that's pretty unlikely, since you haven't missed any pills lately (that 1% fail rate has to come from somewhere, though!!)

anyway, good luck to us!! (on not being preggo, i'm assuming, since you're on the pill!)

Thanks for your input bec, i know im probably not, im just paranoid ya know!! when was your daughter born? mine was 11-27. Anyway, i guess i need to stop thinking about it, i was on the pill for 8 years before i went off to have my daughter and i never got pregnant before(although it was a different pill than im on now). why arent you on the pill? well, i have to stop thinking about it! thanks again, Jenn

I know several people who did get pregnant on the pill, who didn't miss any. But in your case I think your just worry too much. Sometimes when you worry so much about being pregnant you will develop symptoms of it....just because you let your mind convince your body of it. If anything just relax, and let time be the answer. Having said you were on it for 8 years before you had your daughter, it sounds like it works well with your body, and you are less likley to become part of the 1%....Hope it makes you feel better.
