I've been on birth control for almost a
year now...I never had any of the listed
side effects. All of a sudden for the
past two months, i've noticed taht my
stomach has been bloated, until I go to
the bathroom and I ind that I feel like I
have to pee alot but when I go there is
only a drop or so. I went to my doctor to
ask about the increased urinationa dn she
did tests and said that it was just a
bladdder spazm (that was last month) and
that it would go away in 2-3 days. It
went away but now its started again. Also
(i dont know how to say it nicer im
constipated)...Its just harder to. Could
this mean im pregnant? I always take the
pill and my bf and I always use a condom .
We are safe about it. The wierd thing
is....When I took the sugar pills last
month (this is the beginning of a new
pack) the bloating and the frequent
urination went away. I got my period liek
I have every other month, but it was wierd
b/c as soon as I took the sugar pills
everything went away, bu tnow I started
the new pack their back again. Could I be
pregnant?-but I dont see how since we are
very safe. Or could it be that I need to
lower the level in the pill or sumthing?-
if so why is it all happening now??
Please help me!

It is always possible to be pregnant.
But it also could be a reaction to the
build up of the hormones maybe. I really
dont know. Maybe go and get a hpt and
see.

Sounds like systitus symptoms (not sure
how thats spelt) I suffer from it a lot
its like a bladder infection like your dr
says, you jus feel like you really need to
pee but not much happens? Sometimes you
could pass blood too but the cure to that
is water, lots of it, to flush the
infection through. But yea its better to
just check anyway

Because you mentioned that the bladder
symptoms returned once you went back onto
the active pills, i'd say it' a reaction
to the bc horomones. Talk to your doctor
about this, and ask for a different kind
of pill perhaps.

Thank you both so much...It does make
sense that it could be a result from
taking the pill since it seems to come up
whenever im taking the active. Yes, it is
like I have to pee alot but not much
happens. I drank alot of water and it
seemed to go away so that also seems like
a possiblity. I have also been training
fairly hard for my upcoming soccer season
so I think I may have pulled a muscle in
my stomache from all of the 450 crunches
and sit ups a day. I think that the
pulled muscle and the increased peeing
made me freak out. I think that I will be
okay though because I know that I always
make sure that im extra safe when it comes
to sex. Thanks again for taking the time

Bc can slow down your digestion, causes
the bloating. Eat bran. That's what my
Dr. Said....

Yes, that is true. Bc can slow down your
digestion. I'm off of it now and it's
taking awhile to get back to a flat
stomach once again. Becareful coming off
of bc, it throws your hormones into a
psychotic state! So just warn those
significant others about major mood issues
for a few weeks!

You can take fiber supletments and
cranberry pills...Those will help will the
balder and bowel....Also looking into
taking prenatel vitiams...My dr said all
women of child bearing age need to take
them so that just in case they do get
preg. There body will be ready for it and
it will cut down on birth defects. Also
since your having so much trouble with
your bc try getting on a new one...They
have low hormone bc. That may be best
for you. And since you use the bcp and
condoms it's doubtful your preg. And
worrying about it is just going to make
your symtoms worse.
