Q: Help!!!! Had Symptoms But Got My Period.

I really need to figure out what is going on becuase it is driving me crazy. I am on birth control patch and I had sex the day I was taking it off and we didn't use a condom for the beginning part. A day or so later I was feeling nauseas, breast tenderness, achy, headache, frequent urination, and very tired. I have never had these feelings before a period before so it started to worry me. I did get my period (i think) a few days late. However, it wasn't my normal period, it was really different. It was very very light and then it got really heavy for like two or three hours and then really light again. I am at the third day of bleeding but thinking that I was pregnant and now might not be but still kind of hoping I might be. I am 19 and probably not even ready to have a baby but with all the feelings and thinking that I really might be has gotten me hoping that I am or that I wont have complications later on if I choose to try again. I did take a pregnancy test today and it came up negative and I am going to a doctor tomorrow but I really want to know what you all think to help with my confusion.

You wouldn't get pregnancy symptoms a day after having unprotected sex. The symptoms you felt were possibly premenstrual symptoms that can often mimic pregnancy symptoms.

How long have you been using the birth control patch? Hormones can cause your period to be lighter with less flow.

To put it simply, I doubt you were pregnant.

Good luck at the doctor.

It wasn't a day after but a few days, maybe three or four before I started really feeling the symptoms and I know my body and it has really acted differently this month than it has ever acted. I have been on the patch for awhile now (not quite sure on the exact time) and my period isn't normal either.

read into it whatever you will. You were on the patch. Chances are quite low that you would have gotten pregnant. It takes a few days for the zygote to implant in your body, most women don't get symptoms until they have missed their period.

Your pregnancy test was negative. You are most likely not pregnant.

I'm feeling a bit b*tchy today since i've had a raging headache for the past 2 days. And, you know what? She was on the patch. Her chances of pregnancy are low. But apparently that isn't what she wants to hear, so she comes back with a different story about how it wasn't one day as she originally posted, but more like 3 or 4 days. I am not sugar coating it.

she is not pregnant! no matter what argument she comes up with. It isn't the internet she needs to convince, it is her own body.

/ rant!
