Hi, I just left another post earlier about the hpt but I have more to ask!

Ok we'll I have been on birthcontrol for about 10 months and last month I started spotting the saturday before the sunday I was supposed to start the inactive pills (if you get that...) so instead of taking the inactive pills I figured I was getting my period and started a new pack... Basically I spotted for the straight 3 weeks lightly and figured something was wrong so I went to the gyno. I was on ortho tricylen lo and he told nme to try yasmin. Well for the past week ive been feeling so pregnant. My breasts are soar, a few days ago I was gettingmore like a tinglying in my stomach and starting yesterday ive been getting more like shooting pains quickly in my lower and upper abdomen, I had horrible heart burn 2day, and this morning I woke up nd like jumped outa bed because I felt queezy (didnt throw up tho... Felt better after I walked around for a few mins)
plus im just getting bigger

my boyfriend and I have never used a condom because I started bc before we even started having sex and sometimes im not increadbly accuarate with taking my pills-- wats this sound like to you?

My hpt was negative but im so anxious rite now because I shouldnt be getting my period acording to the pill till monday

thanks!

Well I got pregnant twice on the pill as a teenager but miscarried both times.

The symptoms you are having could either be pregnancy or the fact that you continued on with the piils instead of taking the sugar pills or the switch to the new type of pills. If the doc had thought you were pregnant he would not have told you to continue with the pill or change to a new one.

Weight gain does not usually start for a few months and heartburn only starts around the 3rd tri, as the baby is pushing up against you. Also even if you are supposed to start monday you could have messed with your cycle by starting the new pack right away last month.

I'd wait till next weekend and if still no period, take another test or go back to the doc's.

Yes agree with her. Birth control is great for one thing and then other things happen as a result. Let us know what happens

Yeah I agree with the previous people, I had a friend that got pregnant on birth control twice and carried both of them full term. However, in your case, usually a doctor will give a pregnancy test if he suspects that you may be pregnant before issuing out more birth control. My doctor tested me for it everytime I went in for anything considering my birth control. Plus they can tell by just feeling the uterus area whether you may or may not be pregnant. And heartburn for me did not really start until I was in my 6th or 7th month. As for the temperature, it is not such a high increase that you can tell from your body, the only way you could tell an increase is if you have a fever. Normal preovulation temps are between 96.0 and 97.4 (depending on the person) and afterovulation temps are only like one point higher than that like if your pre temps were 96.7 your after would only have to be like 97.7. Make sense? Anyway you probably aren't pregnant birth control can really mess with your body if you don't take it the way you are supposed to. Your body is probably just confused. Hth. If you are still worried though go to the gyno and tell them your concerns. Take care.

It is possible that your hormone levels have been a little messed up though, and the pill can sometimes mimic pregnancy symptoms, especially nausea and breast tenderness.
My own personal experience-
i was on birth control pills from the time I was 17, and was like clockwork with them. I stayed on them even when I was single (3 years!)
i used to sometimes skip the inactive ones, and go straight through months without having any periods. I had no problems with doing this.
When I fell pregnant, it was the last thing I expected. In fact, I actually thought perhaps i'd been on the pill too long, and had become completely infertile, or that I was dying of cancer when my periods stopped.
I had no other symptoms of pregnancy at all.
So anything's possible !! I guess i've been no help at all :roll:
