Post-Miscarriage Birth Control: Safety and Concerns

Question
I had a miscarriage in the end of October and the DR told me to not start taking birth control until I had a period on my own. I did as he told me but I'm a little worried. I stopped bleeding from my miscarriage then 28th of Oct and didn't get my period until Nov 28. That whole month I was sexually active with my boyfriend without using a condom. We used the pull out method. When I had my period in Nov it was 1 1/2 days long. I didn't bleed for 1 full day so started my Birth Control. I don't know if it is birth control making me feel like this or if I'm pregnant?! I use the bathroom alot, I am SUPER sensitive and cry over everything, and I'm very moody and appetite is going up now! Just wondering what you think and what is possible?! Just kinda worried because of my long history of pregnancy problems!

Answer
I suspect you may be pregnant.  I'd do a pregnancy test, since it will usually be positive by the time you have symptoms.  In the future if you have a miscarriage, I'd just start the pill fairly soon after, so you don't get pregnant while waiting to start the pill.  Best wishes.
