I've been looking everywhere, but can't
seem to find the answer.
I am 20 years old. I have been on birth
control (ortho tri-cyclen) on and off for
about 5 years (it made my period regular).
It has worked perfectly for me, as I have
tried other forms of oral contraceptives.
I have been taking it for about 3 years
straight now and have never ran into any
of these problems. I have been with my
boyfriend for about 3 years now, no change
in partners.
Lately I have been quite moody, my back
constantly hurts, feel like I can never
get enough sleep (always tired), cramps
every now and then, light headaches,
breasts are more sensitive, and urinating
more often. I just don't feel normal..
My last period was a lot lighter than
usual, and about 2 weeks after my period,
I spotted. It's very light, a very light
pink. It only lasts not even a day, maybe
a few hours. I have not been under any
stress, no more than it has always been,
same routine, and I take my pill everyday
(sometimes a couple hours later than my
usual time).
I was just curious if there is a
possibility that I could be pregnant with
these symptoms. It has me worried (even
though I would be more than thrilled if I
were pregnant).
I know there is a very slim chance that I
could become pregnant while on birth
control. But could my pills become
uneffective if my body is somehow
rejecting them, increasing my chance for
pregnancy?
Any insight would be helpful. Thank you
in advance.

Tricyclic pills like ortho-tri-cyclen have
high failure rates if not taken at the
same time everyday. I would definitely
test.

I would take a teat I got pregnant on the
pill. I took the pill every day at the
same time and still got pregnant.

Would it be too early to take a test
though? I guess i'll call the doctor
tomorrow to tell them what's going on and
see what they say.
