ladies

i need your help... i'm on bc but i missed the last pill in my last pack and the first pill in this pack so i doubled up on that monday and haven't missed one since then. however i didn't take them on time every day due to my work schedule changing. i'm on the pill because i've had two previous mc's following the birth of my daughter. I don't think i could go through that again. Now i'm on cd 20 and for the last week my bb's have been really sore and swollen, i've had light cramping off and on, a few spells of dizziness, eating more than usual, and if i drive i'm ok but if i'm the passenger i get car sick! no other morning sickness though and this didn't happen all at once. it started with my bb's and the other stuff as gradually shown up. i'm still a week away from af so my question is: can i be pregnant? isn't that to early for symptoms? couldn't there be another reason for all this? i'm scared and confused so if anyone can help it would mean so much to me.

P.S. i'm sorry to have rambled but if anyone would understand i thought you ladies would.

thanks for any input,
-Ellen

If you're only on CD 20 and this has been coming on for the past week, it's probably not pregnancy induced effects. I can't say what the problem is, but I doubt it's pregnancy. Missing the first and last pill in a pack are not during prime fertility times.

I'm not a birth control pill expert though... Anyone else???

Ladies,

Thank you very much for your prompt responses it helps ( I know your probably right ). The funny part is now that this started I'm thinking of trying again. Isn't that crazy...or maybe not! I still have this funny feeling something weird is going on in there though. Guess I'll wait and see.

Thanks again and I'll keep you posted.

it sounds to me like it is just side effects from missing a couple of pills. when i was on the pill i missed some in the first row every now and then and i never became pregnant, but we almost always used condoms as well as the bc pill. i too sometimes get sick in the passenger seat but am fine driving. i have no idea why this happens but it does. all of it sounds like its just hormonal side effects from missing a couple of pills, but pregnancy could be a possibility. if you are worried, you should wait until you miss your next period and then take a test. otherwise you can take a early response test 5 days before your missed period.
