Like many of the posts on here I too have been experiencing pregnancy-like symptoms. Pregnancy is not something I planned for as I am on a 28-day-cycle birth control...though some months I skip the placebos and start up a new pack right away as to avoid my period.
In late October, after having sex, I missed a pill by 12 hours (the second or third pill of a new pack after not stopping for the 7 placebo pills). It has now been four weeks since the missed pill and just finished what seemed to be a normal period (taking the 7 placebo pills), but now my lower abdomen is feeling really tight, I feel nauseous throughout the entire day, and sometimes even sitting or bending at my waist hurts. So far it's been four days of this and I have not started a new pack of BC. Since I worry too much, I took a test 2 weeks ago before my period which came back negative, though now I am almost too scared to try again. Maybe what I am feeling is just a side effect of my period after skipping it last month, I'm not sure.
If anyone reads this and can offer any advice or have been in a similar situation I'd appreciate you're feedback.
