Question -
LAST MONTH I STARTED BIRTH CONTROL (5-23-04) I STARTED ON A SUNDAY AS I WAS TOLD BY MY DOCTOR, EVEN MY CYCLE STARTED ON SUNDAY ANYWAY, HOWEVER THE SIDE EFFECTS WERE TO MUCH FOR ME TO BARE STOMACHE ACHES, NAUSEA, SO I STOPPED ONLY TAKING THE PILL FOR 3 DAYS I STOPPED ON 5-25-04, WITH DOING THAT MY PERIOD DID NOT STOP UNTIL 6-01-04 APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS WHEN I USUALLY GET MY PERIOD FOR 4 DAYS, THEN THIS MONTH I WAS EXPECTING MY PERIOD ON THE 23 WHICH IS WHEN I USUALLY RECEIVE IT OR ON A SUNDAY WHICH WOULD OF BEEN 27, BUT ON THE 23 I BLED ONLY A LITTLE BIT AND HAVE BEEN SPOTTING EVERY OTHER DAY JUST A LITTLE TINY BIT AND CRAMPING LIKE I DO WHEN I HAVE MY PERIOD SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY ACTIVE SINCE I STOPPED MY PILLS. DO U THINK I COULD BE PREGNANT OR IS THIS A SIDE EFFECT OF STOPPING THE PILL
Answer -
Pregnancy is possible. I'd get a pregnancy test. Side effects can be problematic. And the problems you are having could be from either source: pregnancy or stopping the pill.
AnswerA baby is a wonderful gift. Congratulations! Spotting and cramping may or not be signs of trouble. I had some spotting during one of my pregnancies. It went away. If it gets any worse than it is right now, then go to the emergency room. Otherwise, it should stop soon. Your body is adjusting to the new situation so it could be normal for you. You can tell if it's getting worse and that would be a signal of a problem.
You are also hyperaware of your body and many minor symptoms can be exaggerated when you are so aware. It's a good thing but does create some anxiety while you are waiting to see if it's a serious problem or not. I hope everything is just fine. Let me know if you need anymore help.
