Bc Side Effects Vs. Pregnant "side Effects." Posted: 02-08-06 23:05pm
I've been on the pill(tri-cyclen) steady
for three months now but only this month
i've found some changes. I'm just curious
if alarm bells that ring to the tune of
"pregnancy" should be ringing instead of
"minor side effects."
i've just noticed in the past week a very
distinct difference in the consistency and
even the odour of my vaginal discharge.
My discharge is greater in amount and
varies throughout the day, however the
colour is consistent white or clear. The
odour will disappear after a bath but be
back within hours. My boyfriend and
sister who I share a washroom and
occasionally pants with hasn't noticed so
I may just be crazy but I never really had
much of an odour before.
Additionally i've felt nauseous
occasionally but haven't thrown up, or
experienced it always at the typical
morning hours.
I managed to miss one pill, I made up for
it by taking another, but then missed the
one at the scheduled time right after and
I believe I had unprotected sex 3 days
later (because i'm a genius like that...
*sighs*)
should I be worried about pregnancy? And
if so would an over the counter method of
testing be suitable since my estrogen
levels may be higher due to the pill?
Thanks for your time.

Hi. I've had a lot of pregnancy scares on
the pill, because it makes you feel like
you're pregnant even when you're not. You
said you missed the pill a couple times,
so I would buy a first response test. The
higher level of estrogen in your system
will have no effect on the pregnancy test.
Good luck!

Thanks! I will definitely be getting one.
I wouldn't want to find out 4 months into
pregnancy or anything like that!

Well, an unsually odor on the vaginal
discharge...Isn't really a sign or symptom
of pregnancy...Are you sure you didn't get
an std or something? Well...If you are
sure then maybe you just have these minor
infection..You may want to check with you
gyne too about that prob even if you found
out that you are not preggy...You can buy
first response or those early pregnancy
test..They can detect pregnancy like 7-10
days after conception
