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!

The fact that when you take the sugar
pills, the symptoms go away could mean
that you are just having side effects to
the hormones in the pill. I would make
an appointment with your doc to discuss
your concerns. Good luck
Hey i've been on b/c for bout 4 or 5
months and i've never had side effects
from it either. But I had unprotected sex
bout a month ago, and im havin all of
these pregnancy symptoms. Its so weird.
The constipation thing I have that like
everyday. I hate it so much. But umm you
shouldnt have ne thing to worry about
since you have been protecting yourself.
Because you know if you take it right you
only have a 1% chance of getting pregnant,
but if you miss it or dont take it at tha
same time everyday then it goes up to a 5%
chance so... I hope that helped you out

Yeah we are very safe so im not to
sure..But actually I noticed that it went
away.. Thank goodness. I believe that
some sort of bug was going around school
and ontop of that I had been vigoursly
training for the upcoming soccer season
and may have over done the sit ups and
crunches which may have been y me stomache
was so uncomfortable. (since it was
higher up on my tummy) I hope that you are
okay... If u made sure to take the pills
ur chance is alot lower but still a
possiblity...Good luck
