Q: Cold Medicine And Birth Control - Am I Pregnant?

I'm currently on birth control and I haven't miss any pills. I was sick with a cold about 2 weeks ago and was taking some cold medicine for a few days. I got my period a day earlier than usual but it was really dark brown through out it all and lasted more than it usually does. I thought it was over with so I had sex but bleed dark brown afterwards, it wasn't much though, then I was spotting for a couple of more days, then I thought my period was over with again so I had sex again and had some dark brown discharge when I wiped with a tissue. After that I spotted dark brown and it had been lighter but still dark brown for a few days. My breast started feeling a little heavy and getting light cramps so I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I haven't been spotting since 2 days ago but my breast feel really tender and i'm still having light cramps. It fells like i'm about to get my period but I usually have these symptoms one week before I get my period but it's 3 weeks before I get my next period. Is it possible that I could be pregnant? Someone suggested that I might have to switch birth control. Any ideas? Thanks for your help Smile

Hard to say what all the spotting could be about. If it were implantation bleed...Seems that it would not have lasted that long. My advice would be to talk to your doctor as soon as you can to see what's going on. Thing is...I know medication can have an effect on your cycle...So it could be the cold medication that's thrown you off. Talk to a doctor though to be sure.
Best wishes!
