You should start your period a few days into taking the sugar pills. You can get lighter and non-existent periods on birth control.

If you have been taking your pills on time regularly, chances are you aren't pregnant. You could take a pregnancy test when your period is late just to be sure.

Ttc = trying to conceive.

Bfn = big fat negative

bfp = big fat positive

Have you missed your period?
Those are pregnancy symptoms,
but we can't tell you if you are or aren't pregnant.
Get a pregnancy test &let us know the results.

Oh, &:
bfn: big fat negative
bfp: big fat positive
ttc: trying to conceive
af: aunt flo, aka period
m/c: miscarriage

etc etc.

There happens to be a sticky at the top of this forum specifically for abbreviations.

I usually take my pills pretty regularly. Last month I missed the first white pill after the week of sugar pills. I took it the next day(in the evening). But, besides that, pretty consistent with day and time of day. My sugar pills start next week, so if I don't have a period after that, I will take a hpt. :)

Be sure to let us know the outcome :)

Good luck!

Well take a pregnancy test.And peeing dosent usually happen when the baby pushes his head down on your bladder.And that dosent usually happen till later on.And yes,thoes are some of the symptoms of pregnancy.Good luck honey. <3

There's a sticky post at the top of the pregnancy page that says common forum slang where you can find most of the acronyms used here.

Good luck!

[quote="babymaker"]hello,
i have been on birth control for 1 year now and have been married for 1 year. The past several weeks I have had weird things going on that now make me think possible pregnancy.


After reading some of these entries I have noticed similarities. Although, I have no idea what all the abbreviations mean(bfn, ttc, ect). If someone could explain these that would be helpful.


My ept symptoms are: sore boobs especially sore left nipple(extremely sensitive!), very irritable and emotional (not like me at all), constant headaches, somewhat fatigued, I pee more than usual, about 4 weeks ago I noticed that I had a one day sort of period, very light. Since i've been on birth control I do skip periods sometimes so I have no idea when i'm supposed to start.


Same feeling here but I am not going to make the same mistake as my 1st pregnancy that I didnt keep. I barely found out when I was 3 months.. Its right its different for women.. I took pregnancy tests twice and its a negative. Now I had this spotting this morning and feel really sensitive to everything going on irrritated. Am I just paronoid thinking im pregnant. I really dont know what to think ..

I really dont see any symptoms that stand out other than the usual "pill effect" symptoms.
