I switched birth control pills last month and I have had cramps for the past week and a half not really period

Question

cramps, but now I am a day late and experiencing light pink and brown spotting here and there. Not enough to wear a pad, just when I wipe. I took a preg. test and it came out negative. I had sex using the pull out method about 6 times last month. Could I still be pregnant?

Answer 1

It could just be your body adjusting to the new birth control. I would go to your doctor if you still haven't started your period in another week. If the test was negative, I would think your body is just messed up from the new pills.

Answer 2

of course you can be pregnant! I'm sure you know the pull out method is more then capable of getting you pregn. b/c of a Little something called pre supreme. it may be to early for the test to pick up the hormone that indicates that your pregn. Now Birth control has been known to cause some of those symptoms that can be confused with pregn. like tender breasts and nausea, wt gain and water retention. but so have a number of STDs... yes STDs are notorious for cramps, and nausea, and of course discharge, even spotting amongst other things. I don't mean to scare you but you should consult your Doctor.... I'm a pharmacy student and this is what i would suggest to my pts at the pharmacy.
Good luck

I doubt it. Anytime you change or go on or off BC pills, you'll experience weird changes because you're messing with your boy's hormone levels. Take another test each week to be sure, if it'll make you feel better. And find another method that the pull out- too risky. If you and your partner are clear and free on your AIDS tests, try using lambskin condoms. They're much nicer than latex, but DON'T protect against STD's, so you'd have to be absolutely certain.

Answer 4

i agree. it must be your body adjusting to different hormone levels
