Ok I got on the patch on august 10th wed. Had sex on august 12 and 13th frid and sat(unprotective). I did not know that it takes a week to be affective. My period was like the 4th-7th of august. I am feeling alot of symptoms of pregnacy and it has only been a week and a couple days. Nusea, heartburn, cramps, irritability, and most noticable soreness an darkness around my nipples.

Are these side affects from the patch or could I be pregnant?? Someone please please help me? Its too soon to take test!!

There is a good chance that you could be pregnant. I had my last period the 3-6 and had unprotected sex the 15th and I am having almost the same symptoms you are having, except the sore breats and darkening around the nipples. But, wait until your next period time and if youre late test, but you have to wait like 2 weeks from the time you had sex to get an accurate test

The birth control patch could explain many of your symptoms.You need to get to a doctor asap because if you continue wearing the patch and you are infact pregnant it could end up with a miscarriage.I think it might be too soon for you to start having the symptoms related to pregnancy but like I said the only way to know for sure is get to the doctors.

I ahve been pregnant 10 times and 4 of those times I knew I was pregnant the next day--never a doubt. Call it intuition call it early symptoms but I knew the next day.

Thankyou Guys For the Advice
Thankyou for the advice. Maybe you will also know the answer to another ? Ok I took off the patch just incase I am pregnant and because I really need a new bc method. So, will I get my period a few days from now or when I was actually supposed to take it off?

I dont know if u guys have actually used the depro provera shot but, I used it for 2 years. There are major lawsuits out against it. . It can cause dangerous health problems. It can also cause the inability of having children, miscaraiges later in life, and health defects of your baby.
If I am pregnant I hope the depo won't cause any defects on my baby. I pray to god thats not the case!!! If u have or are considering getting the shot you may want to check into the lawsuits. I know now why I feel so horrible all of the time!! :evil:

I was on depo for 3 years and finally took myself off of it. I was suffering severe depression and never even thought it could of been from the depo. Yep, it was! I also had no sex drive... Then found out that they actually give depo to convicted sex offenders to lower their sex drive!


I haven't heard about the lawsuits, I will have to look into that! I didnt get my period for the whole 3 years I was on it... I just didnt feel like that was right. I have been able to concieve now just fine (so far, but im only 8 weeks)... I went off of it about 2 years ago.

Depo
Yeah I was really curious why all of a sudden they quit letting me use it. It seemed a little fishy like they were keeping it on the "down low". I decided to check into it and saw of lawsuits and numerous complaints of it.

I also never had a period the whole 2 years well, maybe like 1 or 2 but they only lasted a day. When I finally got off of it it took another 8 months b4 I got a period and when I did it was horribly nasty I wont go into detail lol. Oh yeah! And no sex drive!! I have had problems b4 with depression so im not sure if depo had to do with that.

I am so glad you told me you conceived. Now I will feel way more at ease! Eventually I will want a child.

Well, make sure to tell anyone considering depro about these lawsuits b4 they get theirselves in a mess!! I guess we are the lucky ones for not getting more severe symptoms!!
