Okay, I have been on the birth control patch for 2 months. But, recently I have had symptoms of pregnancy.?

Question

the last week and a half. I had some of these symptoms with my daughter. So, I am not sure if I could be pregnant or not. I took a test but, it was neg. I am sure its too early to tell. Should I take off the patch? I mean I just don't know what to do. I have been having lots of morning sickness (nausea) if you have any advice let me know thanks.

Answer 1

Keep the patch on until you get a positive test. The hormones in birth control won't hurt your child if you are pregnant, especially this early. They also don't interfere with getting a positive or negative test result. If you do take it off, and you're not pregnant, then you might get pregnant.

Answer 2

My cousin is 7 months pregnant....and was on the patch. I'd go ahead and test again..perhaps a blood test from the doctor. You should wait 19 days after your conception date (if you can remember what date it could have been)...and test in the morning (your hormone levels are higher then).

As far as the patch harming the fetus, I'm not really sure. One call to the doc would give you your answer.

Good luck!!

Answer 3

Well if you feel that you might be pregnant then yeah you shoul take off the patch until you know for sure! Go to the doctor or get a HPT. But take it off if you feel you might be.

Answer 4

Do you realize that birth control pills, patch, shots, and nuva ring, work by making your body think you are pregnant by releasing artificial hormones into your body? That is one reason you may experience symptoms.
