Hello, I really hope you can help me. I
take Seasonale birth control; thus, my
period schedule is a little off (I have
only 4 a year). During the week of August
6th through 10th, I had sex with my
fiance, every day (he was only home for
that one week from another state). I
hate to admit it, but I am very negligent
about taking my pill at the same time
every day (mainly b/c when he's not here I
don't have to worry about it), and the
times I take it seem to vary. I also
missed a pill that week and didn't realize
it until the next day around 7 pm when I
took 2 pills. Then, another day we had a
few celebratory drinks (because he was
home) and I neglected to take it again.
Once again, I doubled up my pill the next
day. I also took all pills at random
times. This is only my second pack of
Seasonale (each pack has 3
sheets/months)... I was on the last row of
the second sheet of pills during that week
(or as it says the 8th week of pills in
the pack... and that means I haven't had
my period in 8 weeks). Now, I am on the
9th week and first row of the 3rd sheet.
Sorry if I am being overly thorough, but I
want to make sure to give you plenty of
information because I am very concerned.
Anyways, I have also drank alcohol a few
times since that week before it ocurred to
me that I could possibly be pregnant.
Now, not only am I worried that I could be
pregnant, but I am also concerned that if
so the alcohol could have affected the
baby.
I took a pregnancy test yesterday (16th),
and it was negative. I realize it was
probably too early too tell.
I have also been having a tightening
feeling in my stomach sporadically, I have
felt lightheaded, my breasts have been
sensitive, and today it seems smells are
extremely intense and they bother me.
That and I have an odd metalic taste in my
mouth. I am 21 years old.
Any information or advice/relief would be
greatly appreciated! Also do I have to
wait until the end of the 3 month pack
before I can test again?
Thanks guys!
