Hey there. I have been taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo birth control for about 3 months now. I have had a good percentage of the side effects...increased hunger, nausea, headaches, bloating, etc. But I also noticed that these match the symptoms of pregnancy. I have taken my pills every day (usually around 9:30pm, sometimes a little later in the night). And, the part I'm a bit embarrassed to admit/ask...I haven't had actual intercourse with my boyfriend, but he had fingered me and such...I don't think he's had any sperm on his hand while doing so, but I am so paranoid that it's not even funny. I should start my period within the next 2 or 3 days and I am praying i have it...it this just the side effects of the pills? Or symptoms of pregnancy? I need some reassuring!!! Thanks.
