Q: Should I Stop Taking the Pill If I Think I Am Pregnant

Hi, I have about a week left of my pills but I have this odd feeling i'm pregnant. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative but if I was pregnant it still maybe too early for the test to come back positive any way. I just feel pregnant, i'm eating more but healthier, ive been having vivid dreams, ive been having a fluttering feeling in my stomach. Well, if I am pregnant I want to have the baby so im afraid if I finish out this pack it may hurt the baby.

If I think I am pregnant should I stop taking the pill or finish out the pack? -- thanks!

I was told to always finish the pack cause if you're not pregnant then you will have the chance of getting pregnant... Have you missed any pills?? What signs of pregnancy do you have??

I have lotsa signs... My breasts hurt, around the outside they are getting darker, ive been having this fluttering feeling on the upper left side of my stomach, ive been having very vivid dreams, ive been getting like some sharp pains in my lower abdomen, cravings (i had half a cinamon rasin bagle with strawberry cream cheese and half an everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese this morning... Interesting expecially since I dont really eat bagles) and I just feel pregnant. I've been on birthcontrol for 10 months and ive just never felt like this before.... I think im going to stop just incase... If I get my period ill just start again and make sure we use a condom for a while

I'd finish this packet then see if you have your peroid. I'm sure you'll have some light bleeding even if you are pregnant. The b/c isn't going to hurt the baby, if you are pregnant. The pills have hormones similar to those released during pregnancy. I have gotten pregnant on birth control twice, so I know what it's like. I'm here if ya need anything....

Pregnancy..??
I am simply a stupid teenager, I have used protection everytime my boyfriend and I had intercourse. Though we have been dealing with a pregnancy scare. I don't know if I should continue to stay on birth control, because I have had a light spotting type period i guess but it wasn't normal. we didn't use any method of contraseptive except for the birth control,so there was no pulling out.. I don't know how soon I can find out, and I don't know how to tell my parents that I may be pregnant.

I'm taking Loestrin 24 which shortens my period to a half day every month and I barely even cramp. I'm not supposed to Start my period until December 6th. My husband and I had sex on november 13. On Monday November 23rd I had some uncomfortable cramps and some pink and brown spotting. That is VERY abnormal for me and I've been on bc for 7 years now. I've have been sooo bloated, sleepy and I'm peeing like crazy! I took an at home pregnancy test 2 days ago on the same day I noticed the spotting but it turned out negative. I don't skip pills and I take them at the same time EVERY day. What should I do!? Sad I was thinking it's way to early to tell anything especially since I'm not supposed to start my period fir another 11 days.....

You had sex on day 6 of your cycle while you are on birth control pills that you are taking as directed. The chances are very very small that you will be pregnant. Even if you did not take the pill, those days are normally safe for unprotected sex as the sperm will not survive until ovulation day.

If you are pregnant, and you can observe pregnancy signs, the same hormones that are giving you the signs should be strong enough to show up on a pregnancy test.
