Q: Okay This Is Weird..

I've been on bc for a little over a month. The past few days i've been having these weird symptoms & I have no idea why. I've had this feeling like i'm going to throw up but I never do.. Doesn't last long, I just had it the other night. My stomach has this weird feeling like i'm going to start my period soon, yet I just got off my period last week [monday-tuesday`ish?] when I pee.. After i'm finished I still feel like I have to go! I don't know what the deal is but none of these symptoms really go with eachother I know. I've never had a uti, or a yeast infection or anything of the sorts. What the heck does all this mean?

Could anyone help me out?

Oh & just for the record.. I've taken all my pills on time & have never skipped a pill. Thought maybe that would help.

It may just be your body getting used to the pill. Nausea especially is a very common side effect of the pill.

I had a very bad experience recently on the pill where I got a lot of pseudopregnancy symptoms even though I was not pregnant. If you get any of those, just quit the pill immediately. I quit over 2 months ago and am still detoxing and getting back to normal. I just write this because you mentioned feeling weird in your post. If you get any of the following symptoms, you should probably stop the pill: huge, massive weight gain quickly (i gained 20 lb. In just over a month), bad water retention and bloating and swelling (feet were so swollen it hurt to walk, could no longer wear my wedding rings), abdomen over uterus becoming hard and bulgy, weird feeling that all the cells of your body are pushing outward, ravenous appetite, strange food cravings, moodiness & huge anxiety, crying at anything (in tears at least once daily & then it would take hours to stop crying). If you get these symptoms, I speak from experience, no they will not get better, they got worse, and maybe 6 months from now, i'll be normal again, I hope...

Yeah, i've been so moody lately.. Like around my boyfriend, & I don't mean to be at all. I've been crying a lot lately .. I mean a lot, sometimes for no reason at all. The slightest things make me mad or upset. I have gained weight.. Probably 10 pounds since I started on july 16th. I thought maybe starting the pill would also help keep my acne at bay, but it definitely hasn't.. So on thursday i'm going to the derm. To get on accutane. I'm just in a bind! I feel so blah.. But i'm not going to call it quits with the pill. I just can't.
