Nausea, Sore Breasts...but On Birth Control? Posted: 01-02-07 10:31am
Hello everyone,
I am trying to figure out if these
could be possible early pregnancy
symptoms- or something else. First of
all, it's unlikely that I am pregnant
because I am on birth control (i am using
nuvaring, and I did put it in 1 day late
this cycle- don't know if that makes a
huge difference). However, I have been
having really sore breasts and I feel like
I am going to throw up almost every night
for the last 2 weeks or so. I am due to
start my period today or tomorrow (january
2nd or 3rd) . I don't know what is wrong
with me. Any suggestions?

This is just my opinion, but I wouldn't
put too much faith into the nuvaring.
Last year I miscarried not once but twice
w/in 4 months while faithfully on the nuva
ring. Pathology tests verified that they
were indeed m/c. It just didn't work
for me but works great for other women.
Good luck, I hope all works out for you.

The hormones in nuva ring and the pill
work by tricking the body into thinking it
is pregnant. So it is not surprising to
get pregnancy type symptoms while on it.
On ovcon35, I had huge water weight gain
of 20 lb. In 1 month, a hard, bulgy area
over my uterus, weird food cravings, a
feeling all the cells of my body were
constantly pushing outward, extreme
moodiness and anxiety, nausea, and bigger
boobs. I was not pregnant. It was just
the hormones in the pill. If the side
effects don't go away after 3 months on
it, you should talk to your doctor about
switching to the pill or just start using
an alternative form of birth control, like
condoms.
