Just Started Birth Control, May be Pregnant
I am in my second month, second week of starting birth control. I have forgotten to take the pill about 3 times (twice the 1st month, once the 2nd month), but each time taking it later that day as directed in the booklet. A week after starting, I had unprotected sex and have been ever since being on the pill. the thing that concerns me the most is that I did not get my period the first month, although I had spotting the entire month and this month. Now my breasts are swollen and tender and I've been experiencing strange eating habbits...eating excessivly, craving foods that I have never liked before. Also I have had what feels like menstral cramps, although I shouldn't be getting my period for another 2 weeks. Is it possible that I am pregnant?? I'm too scared to take a test, maybe knowing for sure will reassure me? Thanks
speaking from expireance....i get those cramps too about 2 or 3 weeks prior to my period, and the food cravings as well (like burger king, in which i hate, but sometimes crave it). the only way u will know is it you take a test. like kim said bc pills are not 100% effective, so if ur corncered u may want to double ur protection. ive been on the pill since last year, and it gets better the longer ur on it, so it may also just be ur body trying to adjust.
