Birth control making sick
Posted: 03-26-08 11:43am

I've been on birth control(Seasonale) since i was 16 and it has never made me sick(i'm 20 now). Last August(2007) I was bleeding heavily and i went to my doctor and he told me i was 8 weeks pregnent exactly and had suffered from a miscarraige. well i got my period on feb. 22(2008) and i havent had it since. Starting about 2 weeks ago when i took my birth control it made me sick. I usually take it before i go to bed but now when i wake up the next morning i would feel sick. Yesterday i took it around 2pm to see if i would get sick this morning, well i got sick but i was around 7pm lastnight(5 hours after i took the pill). I also have had really bad cramps in my adomonal and right leg for the past week, which i usually get a few hours before i start my period, but i am 3-4 days late i think because feb was a leep yr this yr. Also my nipples have been a little sore 2 weeks before my period but this time their leaking(only when i squeeze aound the top and nipple), like they did after i had the miscarraige. i know they dont usually leak during the first 2-3 months during pregnancy. I am not taking my pill today to see how i feel tomorrow, but my question is why are my boobs leaking again when i squeeze them and why is my birth control making me sick all of a sudden? Could I be pregnant again? or am I just psyching myself out making my body believe i might be, delaying my period?

I am so confused please help me ASAP! I am going to take a test on friday if i dont get it by then. Sorry for the detailed information.

If you had a miscarriage, how did your doctor know you were 8 weeks pregnant?

Have you taken a pregnancy test? That should be your first step.

Wow! How did you know it was twins? What kind of procedure did you have? Did you change birth control at that time or continue with the same kind?

Good luck with that test.

i'm still on seasonale, but i found out because when i first started bleeding i was black so i called my doctor immediatly it was like 6am and he met me and my bf at his offive at 6:30 and he did an ultrasound cause i have cervical cancer and he showed me the ultrasound screen and pointed it out then hooked me up to machines to monitor them and only got one heart beat, thats when he told me that i had lost one and the heart beat of the other one was very unstable, then i lost that one to a week later. My bf was a twin and his twin died while his mom was in her first trimester too, she was the only one i could take to about this. I also happened to his dads mom with his dad, which makes me even more nervous that this is going to happen again.

Thanks.

Ouch! What kind of shots are you getting? It isn't chemotherapy is it?

What other treatments have you had?

I thought that stage 1 was the lowest and that stage 4 was the highest? You are getting shots to prevent the spreading of the cancer? What are you getting shots of?

You'll need to see your Gyno-Onco immediately! If you are, or have been taking chemotherapy treatments you'll need to be monitored. Depending on the type of chemo you are taking, the risks are going to be quite high.

In addition to that, this is the second time you've become pregnant on the birth control you have been taking. It is not a viable option for you any longer, it appears.

Call your oncologist.

Good luck!!

Isn't that dangerous? Going off the chemo, I mean. It sounds kind of scary. Why couldn't they just take out all of the cancerous cells? I hope everything is ok.

they had to hook up this machine that was placed inside me and it hurt so much just to check to make sure nothing was wrong... i didnt think it was possible either.
But i told my mom and shes so excited because i might not have been able to have kids in the future so....

Wow, it sounds like it's been an eventful few weeks for you. I hope everything goes well.


Were you able to see the heartbeat yet? Or were they only able to hear it that early?

Sounds like a transvaginal ultrasound to me. She probably saw it.
