Pregnant On the Pill????? Posted: 07-26-06 17:23pm
I've been on estrostep (bc) for 1 year
now. I take it regularly except I missed
the first pill of the last 2 packs(28 day
cycle). Both times I took it the next
day(about 33 hours late).
Recently, i've had some pregnacy symptoms
such as: sore boobs, especially sore
nipple, bigger boobs, headaches, excessive
peeing, overly emotional and cranky(unlike
me), and some fatigue.
I don't know if i've missed a period
because I don't know when to expect it. I
took a hpt about a week ago and it was
negative.
Has anyone out there ever got pregnant
while on the pill?

You should expect your pill within a few
days of starting your sugar pills.
Haven't you been having a period for a
year at the same time every month?
Wait until you miss a period to worrry.
And test then - when you should have your
period. Testing before your period is a
waste.
You are more than likely safe.

No, unfortunately I have not had a period
the same time every month the past year.
When I first got on the pill, I didn't
have a period for 3 months. Since then,
i've had like 2. So, that's why i'm a
little confused. I don't "technically"
know if i'm late or not. Based on the
last time I actually had a period, i'm
about 4 months late!! :)

Then take a pregnancy test. If you do not
trust that, go to your doctor for a blood
test.

Also, some women do not react well to the
pill. I took the pill fine for 7 years,
but started having problems in january.
The pill actually made me feel pregnant!
I got major painful water retention and
swelling in my feet, legs, ankles. My
abdomen over my uterus became hard and
bulgy. Got a ravenous appetite and
weight gain of almost 20 lb. Overnight.
I became super-moody and anxious, crying
at the smallest thing. (crying at least
once daily.) I started having strange
food cravings. When I took a pregnancy
test, it came back negative. Finally
clued in to the fact that it could be the
pill. I stopped taking it about 2 months
ago, and these symptoms have all either
gone away or lessened quite a bit.
