Hi.
I've been on the pill for over a year now and my period is generally 3 days late. This time around I'm 13 days late and feeling nauseous but not actually throwing up, feeling a little dizzy, have heartburn, and little stomach cramps. I don't have any other pregnancy symptoms but I am very worried that I am. I've taken 2 pregnancy tests and both have come back negative. Has this happened to anyone else? Or am I over exaggerating? Any input is appreciated.
Thank you!
Hi Llw,
What birth control are you on? Have you been taking it regularly or did you miss any?
It is "unusual" for you to miss a period on birth control. As a side effect it usually makes you more "regular."
When you test are you using your very FIRST morning urine? It does make a difference. Use a name brand test too.
I find it unlikely for you to be pregnant if you have been taking the BC as directed. You may have a cyst, that can certainly cause the discomfort you feel.
I do suggest you see your ob/gyn now for an exam. The reason for your late period and other symptoms needs to be investigated.
Good luck.
