On ortho-tricylcen for 6+ years.
LMP was 9/11. Did not miss any pills. Always a 28 day cycle - never fails.
BF and I have sex w/o condom, but he puts one on before he fully ejacs.
On 10/3 I started brown spotting. Period was due on 10/9. Started bleeding on 10/8. Bright red but lighter than usual. Period was consistantly red the whole time, but not as many clots as usual (sorry TMI) So I took 3-4 HPT's all negative, thinking it was IB. Even went to the Dr. I should mention that I was dieting this month and added excersise. He felt lighter period was due to that, but that perhaps I should go on Ortho-Cyclen (mono-phasic rather than Tri-phasic). Period usually lasts till late Monday/early Tues, ending with brown spotting. Period ended Sunday. Started new pills on Sunday.
Otherwise all was fine, but yesterday I noticed that my right hand and forearm felt tingly, almost like I had hit my funnybone. I NEVER had that before. And b/c the lighter period still scared me, I took an HPT yeterday, negative and 3 this morning - all negative. Otherwise, no other symptoms, no sore breasts, or nauseau. I have no appetite but I know that is b/c I am making myself crazy.
I still have the tingling in the arm/hand, which people think is being caused by my new pill. I called the Dr. and have been waiting for him to call be back.
Until I hear from him, anyone have any ideas ???

Your situation sounds diff than mine as you are spotting, I did bleed, did fill a tampon.
Good luck.
I started the new pill on Sunday and am feeling weird since.
I am sure that its just my body reacting to the new pill...but you read this posts and they can scare the bejeezees out of you. Was my AF really an AF? What is this tingling and numbness. Would the 7 tests realyl be neg if I was pg? Its enough to make you crazy.
I am 31 years old and in a very loving relationship. We hope to be engaged within the coming year. But a baby is just not something that we can handle right now. He has been wonderful. We are fully committed to one another and he said no baby would be loved more. But again, we are NOT READY !!!
Sometimes i think that my body is also playing games on me. I really want to pg and have a baby so maybe the more i think about it the more my body will respond as if it was. i guess i just dont understand the reason of why i would be feeling like this when it has never happened before. when you changed pills did you have any syptoms with ortho tri cyclen where you had to change?
