Ok. Its been 20 days since my little dumb
move to have sex unprotected.
Well not 100% unprotected.
I was on my 4th day of my period, 3rd day
of birth control.
If I wasn't on birth control my ovulation
day would have been the 21st, so birth
control takes a week to work, so I had sex
on the 10th, had already been on birth
control for 3 days, so it would be
effective on the 15th.
So then wouldn't I be protected from
pregnancy since ovulation wouldn't have
came, or anyways not til the 21st?
I know people have told me my chances are
slim, but I've been getting a lot of
pregnancy signs.
Sick throughout the days, and mornings.
(Haven't thrown up though)
Hungry
Tired
Gassy
Grumpy.
But could that be also from the pill,
since I just started?
I'm on the white row of pills, is it ok to
take a test?
Should I worry?
(Also, oos: ever since I started the birth
control I've been having lower abdomen
pain, that shoots through and goes towards
my vaginal area as well. Is that something
to worry about?)
So I know the only way to be sure if I'm
pregnant is to test, but do you think I
have a leginamite reason to worry?

No new information, hon.
You can't tell if you're pregnant from
deciphering symptoms. It just doesn't
work. They could be from starting the
pill, from pms, from being paranoid, or
anything. If you have missed your period,
then you can take a test but not until
then. (Check the directions on the test,
they will tell you how early you can do
it, some are different)
Yes you might be pregnant. We can't tell
you the chances. Personally, I guess I'd
chill a little, but you can never be sure.
I wish you the best of luck. Let us know
how it goes.

Yeah, I know I know.
I just keep trying to puzzle it together
to see if I find a way to convince myself
that I am not.
I'm driving people up the wall with my
constant worry.
But its hard, my mom keeps making snide
comments about pregnancy, asking if my
period came. So I can't quit thinking
about it.
Plus, a friend of mine just became
pregnant on birth control, which only
hightens my worrys. :p
Maybe I can take a test today, wether or
not its 100% percent accurate.
And another one at the end of my white row
of pills when I start a new red one?
Just to ease my mind?
Thanks Georgia.

So are you on the inactive pills now?
If you are, there are certain birth
control tests that work the first day of
your missed period. If you find one, you
can take it now.
I'd buy a test and wait until the
directions say you can use it.
Since you are on the first month of birth
control, your period may not come on time
anyway. So take the test when the inactive
pills are over. The hormones in the birth
control will not effect the test.
It's a good thing your mom knows and can
be a resource for you if you find out the
unlikely bad news. Even though she will
act angry and stuff. You know how parents
are.

Yeah she is here to bug me and tell me
stuff like
"If you get pregnant we won't let you see
your bf anymore " and other stuff.
Not very supportive.
I'm taking Apri. 28 day cycle pills, with
the 4th row of white pills, where you
should expect your period.
I mean if I was pregnant, wouldn't I get a
clear positive now already after 3 weeks?
My period is expected in 4 days. The 4th.
So some tests say you can test 4 days
before your missed period right?
I've always tested after sex, wether I got
a period or not, just for saftey, and got
the tests from the dollar store and they
always gave me good results, but I never
tested early with them.
Thanks!

Not every woman gets strong positives on
tests in the early months, but I think
most do.

Yeah that's true.
My sister didn't. She even had her period
the first three months!
But, I did take a test, it was neg. But I
have another one I'm taking when I start
my first rose colored pill on the new
pack, so sunday!
Hopefully that one will be neg. too.
