Pregnant or something else?

[SpecialMumma]

HELP! Im pulling my hair out as to whats wrong!

Start from the beginning.

Started the pill about 6 weeks ago. 14 days into my pill cycle I had a bleed, a pretty decent one that could be classed as a period.

Got to the end of my pill cycle and skipped the sugar pills ands straight onto the next cycle. So lets say we are back to CD1 again.

CD8 I had a spot of blood.

Been having headaches from about CD5 and waves of nausea.

(Saturday) CD8 I got put into hospital for dehydration. I went to the ED with tummy pains, abdo cramps and leg cramps, really bad nausea, diareah and a headache. Doctor didnt ask if I could be pregnant, didnt even touch the pregnancy subject. Just admitted me for dehydration and pumped me with fluids.

Now Im not good at remembering my pill. I have forgotten to take a few. Maybe 1 a week. Sometimes 2.

for the past week, Ive been sooo moody. Im normally happy to have 'ME TIME' when DH goes to work, but I just cant even let him out of my sight. Even if he walks out of the room I cry. If he says something slightly wrong I cry. I feel sick. I keep getting niggly little feelings kind of like ovulation. I go off my food and cant stand the smell, then I eat like I havent eaten for 6 years.

Whats wrong with me :crying: Could it be pregnancy? or something else?

Having spotting if you skip the sugar pills is quite common.

As for what you are feeling, it could be the pill that 's doing it to you. I can't take the pill because it makes me really sick. I was getting severe migranes and blurry vision while I was on the pill. When I stopped taking it my mood was all over the place at first. I would cry at absolutely nothing and I mean nothing. I would just be sitting there watching tv and start bawling.

I also got extreme morning sickness all throughout my pregnancy. I believe (hasn't be confirmed with any doctor) that any changes in my hormones make me sick. It could be the same thing with you.

I did ask the doctor if the pill could cause any of it and he said the headaches yes, everything else no.. :confused:

I wouldnt think pregnancy...most likely the effects of the pill or a bug that you caught. But silly, you know the best way to know for sure is to test! :)

:confused:

have you ever taken any hormonal BC before? and if so, did it have similar effects?

Personally I agree that it's probably s/e from the pill and if I were you I'd think about maybe stopping for a few months to see if the problems clear up. Headaches can be a bad s/e and your Dr shoudl switch you to a different brand anyway if this is what you were getting.

Why on earth didnt he do a BT to eliminate the possibility you might be pg?

:hugs:

I asked my doctor that as well and she said no. After nearly 2 years and a lot of tests at the hospital, they finally said it was the pill. After I finally got it out of system I felt normal again.

Of course, you should take a pregnancy test to rule that out as well.

I was on the pill for 3 years when I was younger and it had NO effects at all.

After 2.5 years of TTC Ive just gone on the pill so I dont go off the rails from not coping.

I dont know WHY they didnt go a pregnancy test. The nurse came to take blood, the doctor said.. NO NOT YET.. and the nurse never came back to take any blood..


:(

[Yummy_Mummy]

if i was you i would just buy a test just to rule it out & then if its negative go back to the dr

take a test.. just to be safe... but to me it sounds as though its side effects of the pill...

good luck!!!

If I were in your shoes:

I'd stop taking the pill immediately, go back to my GP, ask for a BT to rule out pg (or rule it in!) and then, assuming you're not pg, ask for a different brand of pill.

Different brands can affect you differently so dont be fobbed off... there are loads to choose from and if swapping at this point makes the s/e go away then it's worth doing.

thanks girls.

I'll get a HPT and see how it goes, and if its a BFN I'll be heading straight to the doctors.

Its so strange how Clomid did NOTHING for me, but the pill is killing me.. :confused: :(:(

well i hope everything turns out ok. I was on the pill about 2.5 years back and i stopped taking it for about 6 months. When i started again it made me super sick! I had to go to the doctor and then to a gyno for a second oppinion! but i hope everything goes well for you!
