Have you taken your pills consistently?
Symptoms could be pregnancy...Why don't
you check with a hpt?

the Problem With Ormonal B/c Posted: 07-01-04 11:48am
The thing about hormonal birth control is
this - your body thinks it's pregnant and
is tricked into not ovulating so many
symptoms of pregnancy are also "side
effects" of hormonal birth control. I
for one had a month of morning sickness,
literally I would wake up every morning
and throw up. If I wasn't taking my pill
as close to perfect as is humanly possible
I would have intrepreted this as a sure
fire pregnancy sign. See where i'm
going? Having symptoms dosen't
necessarily mean you're preg as it would
likely mean if you were not on b/c. That
being said - there is a very small chance
yoiu could be preg even with perfect use
(about 1/1000 women will get pg on
hormonal b/c) so here's what I think you
shoud do. Continue using your path as
directed (it will not hurt the developing
fetus on the off chance that you are pg)
and see if you miss a period on your patch
off week. That is the time to get
worried - not now.
Best of luck
