Long Story..should I Be Worried? Posted: 01-17-04 16:08pm
Ok...I had sex for the first time when I
was 14..I told my mom and I got a pap test
and everything but I never filled my
prescription for bc because I told my mom
I wasnt planning on having sex...But then
I met a guy and we've been dating for over
a year..We started having sex and my mom
found out because I thought I was pregnant
at one point..So she took me to the doctor
again and I finally got put on bc...Well
around christmas I was changing the
patch..And my patch change day is
tuesday..Well I took it off and I forgot
to put it back on..We had sex that night
and then I didnt get home for like 4 hours
after..I put my patch on and my period
came as normal but right after my period I
started having pains in my lower stomach
or ill feel like I have to throw up and
kinda dizzy..Should I be worried or could
I just be sick of something.. Thanks a
bunch!

I don't know much about the patch and i've
never taken birth control. I know if you
miss a pill it's a problem and if you
don't take it around the same time every
day it could make it less effective. The
symptoms could be a sign of pregnancy.
Was your period like usual? I think if
you put the patch on you should be ok if
it works like the pill at all. Let me
know what happens.

I dont know much about the patch as I
didnt even know there was a patch until a
few months ago. As for the pill I have
been on that since I was 13 and im 25 in
may, I dont take mine the same time
everyday I never have I never saw the
point. Also I have missed pills in my
cycle and have never worried about it
either, I think it is an individual thing
and everytime I have been regular the only
difference is that my day changes but that
has been a recent thing, not sure y but
everytime it changes a day I think im
pregnant I know mentally its not true but
it is sometimes good to dream.
I got off the subject a little if u r that
concerned call ur doc or a health clinic I
live in australia so not sure wot the
clinics and stuff over there are but im
sure they would give u some information.
Oh and our chemists where we get our
scripts filled are pretty helpful u might
want to try that if u cant get any
satisfactory answers on here.
Good luck with everything

jellybean all of their own
