Rite Aid recently switched my birth control from Tri Sprintec (the green kind) to their generic brand. This week before the placebo pills I have been getting mild stomach cramps... Am I pregnant? My breasts have also been feeling tender (possibly just from the bras I've been wearing) but no browning. Could this be just the switch in pills or am I pregnant from unprotected sex?

You should be just fine. The generic and brand name hpills ave exactly the same active ingredients and works the same. If you took the pills as directed,the chances of pregnancy are extremely low.

If you think you may be pregnant, speak to your doctor.

Best of luck.
