Hi :) I am aware of there always being a
possibility but I am just looking for a
piece of mind and some hope.
I am a 22 year old woman who is overall
pretty healthy. I have never had any
serious medical problems and my blood
pressure is low. I work out several
times a week. I am sexually (monogmasly)
active but use birth controli have
recently been showing symptoms of
polycystic ovarian syndrome. I am
getting blood work done in a few days but
am currently very concerned with my
situation. I have been on yasmin birth
control for about 2 1/2 years and stopped
taking it in april. (before going on the
pill my periods were not regular) after
stopping the pill I did not have my period
in may, june or july but there is little
chance that I would get pregnant since I
used a condom when I did have sex and
would have my boyfriend not reach climax
during intercourse. I just started
yasmin again the last week of july. I
did not miss any pills but did not take
them at the exact same minute everyday
(usually within the same hour). I had
sex on the 8th day of the pack of pills
without a condom (again, I asked him to
refrain from climaxing during
intercourse). I am now on the fourth day
of the sugar pills and I have not gotten
my period :(
i have had sore breasts, dizziness and
trouble sleeping. Upon starting the pill
I began to have frequent urination (side
effect of direutic in yasmin but also
connected with pregnancy). I know these
are some signs of pregnancy but are they
also associated with starting the pill?
I don't remember reacting this way before
when starting but I could have forgotten
since I wasn't sexually active then and
wouldn't have made such a big deal out of
it.
I did not know what day to start my pills
since I wasn't having a period. I know
that with absence of your cycle you can
still ovulate.
I am so very nervous and haven't many I
can talk to about this issue. If anyone
out there can give me any insight on pcos,
birth control (yasmin and it's effects) or
pregnancy signs/symptoms/interactions with
bc that would be great.
Furthermore, I know I should take a preg.
Test, but I do need moral support. My
friends think i'm overreacting but this is
scary stuff....
Thank you so much for reading!!!!

Hey princess
it's amazing how someone like you who is
actually very well versed and mature and
has a genuine concern gets no reply when
some hoax folks come on here with
outrageous lies get all the attention. I
am a 25 year old woman who is and has been
in your shoes and I understand your
concern, my guest is since you describe
your situation I think you have been very
responsible protecting yourself and your
chances of being pregnant are very slim.
I think you may just be reacting to the
pill, try a different kind and see how it
goes. Also when we are scared of
something happening we tend to pay very
clos attention to our body and magnify our
symptoms more than they should be. I
think you will be fine. For now you can
try to get off the pill for like 3 months
to see how your body does without it and
have your boyfriend use condoms all the
time. Good luck and god bless you.
