My periods have been irregular for 6 months now. I talked to my school nurse and she said it was due to stress, totally understandable for a college student. Shortly after, i would have breast pain and lower abdominal cramping as if i was going to start my period, bleed a bit, and then it would stop. 3-5 days later my period would officially start. I didn't think it was normal, but that's how it has happened ever since, i would always start my period a few days after i thought i was going to. I was put on birth control to regulate my periods, and my fiance and i are sexual at times. i was told to start the birth control the first day i started spotting. So, i did. But i forgot that normally my period would really start a week from when i thought i was starting. i started the birth control, and a week later im still cramping and my breasts are tender. I am lightly spotting 2-3 days apart, and now nothing but cramps. Am i pregnant? Or did the birth control simply mess up my period cycle even more? I am also stressing because i think iam pregnant, which isn't helping the situation.
