So I am going to go buy a test tonight, but what do you all think from my symptoms so far? I am really impatient and can't stop wondering about this so any feedback is really appreciated.

I am on the pill. I have taken it every day for the past seven years. I usually get my period about 2 days into the "white pills" (the reminder week), and I did my period this past month, about 3 days into the white pills, but it was VERY VERY light. You could call it spotting even. It only lasted like 2 maybe 3 days, but again, it was SO light. I have been feeling tired, not extreme fatigue but tired, yesterday my BBs started to hurt/be sore, my skin is starting to break out a bit which is REALLY unusual for me, and I have been going to the bathroom a lot. It is mostly the weird period that has me worried though. Mine can be touch and go with light/heavy, but this was extremely light for me. I am training for a marathon but have not done anything dramatic with miles, or have such low body fat (I have too much body fat!) that this could be the cause.

What do you all think? Am I just being paranoid or is this really cause for worry? I am also kind of worried that since this is on my mind that I am just "thinking" the other symptoms into existing and inflating them.

Oh I completely forgot another symptom! I woke up on Monday night, late at night, feeling really really sick to my stomach, like wondering if I should go to the bathroom to throw up or not. I had the same sort of feeling at work on Monday, sick to my stomach, and then it goes off and on, at different times, these last few days.

That is what has really gotten me worried. I was thinking I was fine until that happened.

I am on the generic of Ortho Cyclen, its like Sprintech or something? Sprin(something).

Your body can reject the pill? Really? I never even knew that.

I was told that as you get older, there are hormonal changes within the body that can effect it.
