It's me again, I have a very serious situation, and well, a question too.....I'm going to start at the beginning so that new people will understand what I am going thru....
The middle of August I went to the doctor to be tested for some werid symptoms that I was having...I'm on birth control....the symtpoms were....bloating, light headed, dizzy, eating alot, peeing a lot, headaches, and some waves of nausea but I wouldn't throw-up....so Doctor made me take a pee test, came back positive for a UTI (Urinery Track Infection) so he gave me a weeks worth of antibiotice to treat it...now I didn't know this before but antibiotics can make the pill lose some of it's protection. make it so it's not 99.9% protective, any who......the antibiotics made the UTI go away, I was fine, the beginning of October I started feeling the exact same way, so, to help me treat it I drank Cranberry juice which I hate and I was gagging on it, unusual, and the pains continued, (also, the package of BC pills I started that month, I screwed up the times, the entire pack I took at different times ranging up to 7 hours) so the middle of October I pulled out my back at work and had to go to the Hospital for WorkMed, while I was there I had the doctor do a pee test to see if I had another UTI, it came back somewhat clean, so he gave me only three day's worth of antibiotics....I took them along with the back pills I was givin, and I got sicker, same symptoms as before, so I thought I was having a side effect to one of the pills I didn't know which one it was cause I took three at a time, so I stopped taking the pills after I finished the antibiotics that were for the UTI (supposably) but nothing went away, actually things got worse! After I finished the antibiotics (which was a Saturday) DH and I had sex, following that a week before AF was suppsoed to start I got this terrible lower abdomen pain in my left side, it felt like someone was poking me with a pin, I couldn't stand up or sit down for a long period of time, it went away later that morning around 9, (I woke up and noticed the pain at 7:30) Okay, so I'm waiting for AF to come, and the day it's supposed to start (Halloween) I didn't get anything bit spotting, only when I whipped, that is very unusual for me, I'm like clockwork I know the exact time I start the exact day, always the same, and it only lasts 4 day's, so Halloween I only got spotting, Saturday morning we tested, but It was negative, and after that it started to get heaveyer, figured, so I used a tampon, I filled it up in less than 3 hours, which is another unusual thing I can use a tampon for up to 5 hours befor having to change it, this one over flowed!!! So I took it out, and after I whipped, there was nothing, but just to be on the save side I put in another tampon.....I went to work, and 4 hours later I went to the bathroom, and removed the tampon hardly anything on it!!!! I left a panty liner on and again hardly anything got on it.....Sunday morning was light also, nothing until around 1ish and I had to use another tampon, and it was full again in 3 hours and this time when I removed this tampon it had a lont (about 3 inches long) blood clot on it, it was stretchy and thick....(sorry if TMI) and after that again hardly anything....Monday morning nothing, by Monday afternoon it was over, there was no more bleeding, but Wednesday morning I got some light brown blood when I whipped I only noticed it in the morning and than that was it.....
And now, I am still feeling the same, headaches are the worse, dizzyness, light headedness, I always feel bloated!, that lower abdomen pain comes and goes, I"ve had nausea but I haven't thrown-up, I'm very moody and sensative, I cry very easily which isn't usual....I went to the doctor Thursday of last week and he told me I had gaseous acids in my intestines, he didn't do a test for pregnancy cause he said my period didn't make sense and the fact that I'm on BC.....I just called my sisters Female Doctor who would probably be able to do something alittle more than the other doctor, but I can't get into there until December 3! That's a long wait...my question is should I test again?? The pains havn't gone away, but I'm just so confused about what my body is doing right now! I've never had a problem with the pill and i've been on it for a year and 3 months.......should we test or no.......
