Missed pills, bad cramping. Posted: 02-24-08 23:10pm
I am on my second month of birth control
pills. The first month, I bled a
little...but it was right when my period
should have been. This month, I had sex on
the 6th day of the pack. I missed that day
and then took the pills at very different
times for the next few days (4-5). Now, in
the middle of my pack and toward the end
of that week, I'm having light bleeding
and very bad cramping. In the previous
month, I had no cramping at all. This time
it is very bad. I don't have an appetite
and I have felt very sick. Even after I
take ibuprofen, the pain does not stop and
that is unusual. I've been very tired and
weak for the last few days. I have
backaches and headaches, which is all very
unusual. My period should not be for
another week and a half or so. I am kinda
worried that I am pregnant, but I don't
know if it's probable or if I am just
worrying about something that is
completely normal....???

Break thru bleeding can be common during
birth control use and is not a sign of
pregnancy.

I also just remembered that at the same
time I had sex, I was on amoxicillin,
which, i guess, can make the birth control
less effective.

Yep. You should take a pregnancy test when
your period is due.

Ok. I guess I'm just confused because my
period isn't due till march 3rd. But for
the last few days ive had spotting. So was
the spotting my period or will i bleed
again in early march? because i dont want
to be all worried if i dont start my
period in early march if my period just
came 2 weeks early and very light
