Not pregnant... so what the hell is wrong with me?!
My boobs are so painful lately and I keep getting PMS type cramps. I thought my BCP had messed up and I got pregnant but I'm not.Ugh I also have low Vit D if that matters. |
Any chance it's just pms? |
I'm on the pill and don't get a period yet |
Did you just get on the pill? |
I would still assume it's just normal hormones. I get pms symptoms like that during ovulation and starting about a week before my period. |
When is/was your period due?
If you don't get it within a week or so, I would retest. I recently suspected I was pregnant as my symptoms were the same as when I was pregnant with DS (really tender boobs, peeing at night) and I took two of those blue line indicator tests. Both were negative. I was so convinced I was pregnant I bought two of the digital ones that tell you how far along you are. Did those 2 days after the negative blue ones and got a positive 3+ weeks on both tests. When I went to the doctor, I was about 7 weeks along. |
I'm a little confused by this. Have you never menstruated ever? Or just since starting this particular birth control. |
on month 4 of the pill. I skipped last month's period.
Period in Nov, skipped Dec by piggybacking packs. |
You need to talk to your Gyn. It's likely that your hormones are out of whack and causing these symptoms if you're piggybacking pill packs to skip your period. |
When I was on the pill it messed me up. I tried at least 10 different versions too. I would get my period almost every other week and I was an emotional wreck. Maybe the hormones are not optimal for you anymore and maybe you should try a new pill to see if that helps. |
You're still not being clear if you're due for a period or not. I understand you skipped Dec. bleed, but where are you in your pill pack/ cycle now?
Not all pill brands and types are amenable to piggybacking. If you intend to do it, you should discuss with your doc. All that being said, sooner or later, it comes time to pay the piper, so to speak. You period will usually be worse after skipping. |
Op, instead of piggybacking packs, just ask your doctor for seasonale or something similar. I used to piggyback packs but started to Get horrid PMS symptoms like cramping but with no period. Went on seasonale instead and loved it. Ob recommended to only piggyback one month, not continuously. |
I am on the Pill and one month I didn't get a period. Just a bit of spotting. I would still test again in a few days. I've gotten pregnant on the Pill. Are you on a low dose Pill? That's how I became pregnant. |
Okay, I'm on the pill and religiously using condoms. I am in the 3rd week of the piggybacked pack of pills. I was due for a period 3 weeks ago when I skipped that week of inactive pills. |
So if you're in the third week of pills, you're due for a period within 7 days.
You have PMS. |
