Q: Pregnancy - Birth Control

I'm not sure why the obsessing this time around. My Fiance and I had unprotected sex last month, around ovulation time (normal cycle 28 had sex on 12thday) so at this point I started freaking out... we have one child and at this point I just don't feel completely open to the idea of another.

So I had been stressing, also I fought off a bout of Broncitis and had to take an antibiotic... around 1 day after finishing those, and day 30 of my cycle (after two home pregnancy tests as well - both negative) I started my period but BOY was the flow very different... stop and start, very light and bright bright red, only lasted 5 day whereas it is usually heavy until day 6 waning down at 7. It really creeped me out.

I did however start taking my birth control when I saw my period. Could that have had any influence over my period I was having just then?

I'm a bit of a hypochondriac, and after reading the multitude of awful reports about the Yasmin pill, and taking a grand old panic attack I decided to get off them ... 6 pills into my pack. The next day I started bleeding again... this time, a more familiar deep red color. (Is that even normal to start bleeding?!)

I don't know what's going on... my breasts are really sore though... and slightly nauseated from time to time...
I think I'm just really freaked out, and can't keep myself off the thought of there somehow being a slight chance I could still be pregnant after the tests and out of whack period ...or if there could be something else wrong with me in my pelvic region.. (mom and grandma both had cerv cancer.)

Came here to talk about it because it takes almost a month to get a appointment with my doctor. Shocked

Sorry for the ramble, haha. I'm Monique btw. Very Happy Pleased to meet you.
