Is It a Possibility? Posted: 11-17-05 01:35am
I had sex the first day I started
ortho-evra (the patch), with my bf from a
couple of years were engaged now so we
eventually took away the condom, is it
possible that I could have become pregnant
and possibly miscarried from being on the
patch because my period was delayed a
couple of days after taking it off and
then I had really bad cramping through out
a whole night and after trying midol it
took a couple of hours to work with
abnormally large blood clot. Some other
odd symptoms were breasts feeling heavier
and the pain was accompanied by nausea.
Am I just paranoid or did I just
experience my first miscarriage? Please
help!

I seriously doubt you would have
miscarried from birth control. But you
said that you and your boyfriend had sex
on the first day you began birth control -
obviously, it's not going to kick in with
full force the second you put the patch
on, and if you did not use a condom, then
there's a good chance you could have
conceived.
How long ago did all this happen?
Recently? I don't know if you've ever
been on birth control before, like the
pill, but you could get a whole lot of
pregnancy symptoms from being on birth
control, such as sore/sensitive breasts,
nausea, headaches, and changes in your
cycle.
Honestly, although birth control is given
to some women to regulate and lighten
their periods, some women may experience
heavier and longer bleeding because of it.
A blood clot of any size could be the
result of anything and may not even be
related to the birth control. But if you
are very concerned about this, speak to
your doctor and they will give you a
pregnancy test or possibly put you on a
different kind of birth control and maybe
do a couple of other things. Hopefully
you'll get the answers you're seeking.
Sorry if I wasn't of much help to you...

Well, it's my understanding that you have
to wait for 1 month before the bc actually
kicks in, at least that's what it says for
nuvaring. Definitely read through the
instructions, it helps a lot. If your
period was delayed and you had a truly
abnormally large blood clot, then you
could have miscarried.
