Taking Pills every day...can I still be Pregnant? Posted: 08-01-06 07:15am
Ok I have a loaded question or questions?
I have been trying to reach my doctor to
no avail I am considering seaking an exam
elsewhere but with my history feel I
should'nt see someone else!
Ok in July of 2005 i had twin cysts
removed from my ovaries due to massive
amounts of pain and very irregular
periods. Then in Novemeber 2005 I got
pregnant and wound up being a ectopic,
which sent me straight to the hospital for
emergancy surgry. The Doc tried to save my
tube and we found out in Feb2006 that the
tube was indeed fully blocked. My
insurance company threw a fit saying they
wont pay to have it opened or removed as
my Doc thinks it does. Along with this
since Nov I continued to have pain and
irregluar periods major cramping and all
around sickness and fatigue! I have filed
a appeal with my insurance company should
be getting a answer sometime in the next 2
weeks wether they will pay for the surgery
I need to remove or open the bad tube. My
Doc also has concerns of endometrosis,
cysts and so forth. So since Feb 2006 I
have been taking birth control to stop my
periods until the insurance company lets
us know.
Now June 2006 I feel BAD!!!!!! I have
tried to get in to see my doc but am still
waiting to hear back!! NOT IMPRESSED on
this matter!!
I started spot bleeding about a week and a
half ago but beyond just this massive
cramping and severe bloating Like I woke
up one morning look like I gained 70 lbs
over night and looked as though I was 6-7
months pregnant. That sever bloating has
ended to a point I still feel like I
gained an extra 40 lbs and have dropped to
looking as if I am about 4 -5 months
pregnant. I am still taking my pill
everyday to stop my periods. But I am
starting to worry that maybe somehow I
still got pregnant and am missing it
because I have no way to tell if I have a
missed period. Also for about a month now
I have had some bad heart burn which is
something I suffered from dearly with my
fullterm pregnancy 7 years ago. I am also
I noticed Bruising very easily, and have
had a outbreak of sudden acne!!
i feel like a wreck all I want to do is
wear my cotton elastic PJ bottoms
everyday. i currently hate getting dressed
as nothing seems to fit properly. I wanted
to get in to see my Doc to have a exam
done but have failed in succeeding in that
area. maybe he thinks I am just over
worried, they said the break through
bleeding is normal but how about
everything else or the fact of Womens
intuition i just got this gut feeling its
something more!!!
And if I am pregnant i have not been
taking proper care at all to ensure a
healty baby!
I am beside myself with worry at the
moment and trying not to freak m y Hubby
out as he passed out when everything
happened in Nov. But I really need advice!
Do i just go seek out another doc? He is a
specialist and was hard to find in the
first place!!
Please Please help me!!

If you are using birth control pills every
day you CAN’T BE PREGNANT!!! You can
take a home pregnancy test to assure
yourself. Gaining weight may not be a sign
of pregnancy, but could be a side effect
of birth control pills.
