I've recently had a bad case of mono, and
still have it however. I had jaundice due
to my hepatitis and I was in bed for 3
weeks. I used to take the pill prior to
mono however, had to go off it because of
the illness. I've recently started having
sex with my boyfriend and haven't gotten
my period yet, and its been 31 days since
the beginning of my last period. I did
take 2 birth control pills last saturday.
I took them 12 hours apart since I heard
it has the same effect as the morning
after pill. Also, I noticed today that
i've lost 4 pounds in 2 days. I don't
know if this can relate to anything but if
anyone has any advice of info for me that
would be great.

My only advice would be, if you are asking
if you could be pregnant, take a pregnancy
test.

You loose weight while having mono
as for taking the pill during mono I dont
know who told you not but you can take b/c
while having a bout of mono, I hope you
know mono is contagious and just by having
sex/kissing you have placed your fiance at
risk for getting it.
I have had mono 3 times and its not a
joke, the last time I had it my spleen was
enlarged and thank god it didnt rupture or
else my immune system would have been caca
and I would have needed surgery to have it
removed. Basically if you believe you
are pregnant do a home pregnancy test and
be carful because mono does come back and
putting ur body under this much stress
could make it come back alot worse!
Ack! I feel for you, I had mono a few
months before I got pregnant...It's awful!
Mine was a rare case where both my spleen
and liver enlarged (usually only one does)
so I had some severe pains for a while and
couldn't eat anything but broth, and even
that made me sick. I lost a lot of
weight, haha and I looked great and then I
got preggerz...Oh well. Anyways i'd take
a home pregnancy test to find out if you
are and if it comes out negative wait a
week or so and then go to your doctor and
get a blood test done. If you are
pregnant I would talk to your doctor,
because mononucleosis puts the body under
a great ammount of stress and falling
pregnant while you still have it might not
be so great for the baby. I don't know,
so I would talk to your doctor. I know I
talked to mine when I got pregnant because
I was still worried that maybe the virus
had not completely left my body...But he
said everything should be okay since it
had been a couple months since I started
feeling better. Good luck! And hope you
recover fastly!

Ya my mono was the same as yours, both my
liver and splee enlangered and I had
hepatitis in my liver, as I said before.
I heard it was harder to get pregnant
while sick, is this true? Also since my
body was and still is under so much stress
could that be why my period is late?
Thanks for your comments

yes stress can cause you to miss your
period...But in your case I would take a
hpt or get a blood test done..Maybe you
missing your period also has something to
do with your sickness...But if I were you
I think I would go to the doctor and get
everything checked out again...Either your
pregnant or something else is wrong..

Yes, I am taking a pregnancy test tomorrow
because i'm sick of this waiting game.
However something I find extremly weird is
that I can feel my period is right there.
I have every sign as I usually do for my
period, cramps, back pain, moodiness and
thirst just to name a few. But nothing
has come... And i've felt like this since
last week and that would have only been 2
weeks after I got pregnant and it's not
possible to tell signs then...Right?

Many of these girls say they have the same
symptoms as with period coming, when they
are indeed
pregnant
i myself never had any signs my period was
coming until it came. But I am one of
those pple who knows when I ovulate from
the signs and pains I have.
Good luck--oh, and sometimes it takes up
to 3 weeks after missed period to get
positive on hpt.
Take care of you, extra special care, mono
is no fun. It ran around my house for
over a year, and I got it at 40. Had
never had it before. Went from kid to
kid and back to kid again for over a year.
No fun-- rest--lots of clear fluids.

Thanks for your help.
But if I was pregnant would I need be
experiencing symptoms such as frequent
urination, increase in appetite, weird
food cravings, nausea and etc? I haven't
experienced any of that and if anything my
appetite has only decreased. I also have
heard and read from many different women
that they noticed an increase in tiredness
and need to sleep when they were pregnant.
I haven't suffered that at all since i've
been sick with mono. If anything I feel
better. Is there good possibility that my
body has just been under so much stress
with being sick and being on the pill and
such that my period is just delayed?
Sorry but as you can tell i'm extremly
worried and plan to take a pregnancy test
today.

Yes it could be from missing your pills,
and it could also be from the stress, or
from the sickness of mono itself. All
these things are a possibility.
