Hi I'm 17 and my doctor prescribed me lo loestrin fe for three months but I only took it for three weeks. I started it on the first day of my period which was April 4th. I missed a pill on the 10th and the 19th and took my last pill on the 20th. After I quit I had terrible cramping, headaches, and diarrhea. Throughout the whole month of April me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex but he pulled out. It is now may 4th and I am having a lot of white discharge when I wipe but no period and I have to poo a lot more than normal (sorry). Also I had a tiny bit of breakthrough bleeding when I missed a pill on the 8th. I have searched and searched the Internet and all I find are stories about women not having their period after bring on birth control for years. So I was just wondering what everyone thinks. Help would be greaty appreciated(:
I think that you wasn't on birth control pill for long enough for them to be the cause for your missed periods and other symptoms. And since you had unprotected sex (the pull out method really is not something you should count on very much), I think that it definitely would be good idea for you to take the pregnancy test. It should be reliable now, since your period definitely should have come, even when you count in BC pills.
I don't really feel like I'm pregnant but then again I wouldn't know what that felt like anyway. I kinda want to wait a little longer before I say anything to my boyfriend about a pregnancy test because I don't want to freak him out. And with my luck I'll spend ten dollars on a test and end up starting my period the next day. I'm thinking that if I don't start by the 15th I'll take a test. Thank you for your response(:
Now I would like to add that the white discharge has turned clear and there is ALOT of it. I am also experiencing lower back, leg and ankle pain. I don't know if I should blame that on the steroid shot or antibiotics I got today because I have bronchitis. Please help again(:
I would definitely say that steroids are far more likely to cause leg and ankle pain, but antibiotics also can have effect on your period or discharge. Which antibiotics did you take?
I started taking augmentin twice a day on the 6th. My boyfriend and I took a pregnancy test on te 7th and it came back negative. But it was from dollar tree so I'm not sure if I should wait and take another one. I'm so confused!
As well as steroids are likely to blame for the pains, Augmentin probably has a lot to do with the discharge - antibiotics can cause you to have yeast infection and also, one of their common side effects is diarrhea, so it might be the reason for those symptoms. I think that your period is late because of the BC pills and than the infection, not to mention the stress about being pregnant or not. If you were pregnant even this test would have detected it by now. So I know it's hard, not getting a period and worrying, but yes, taking another test is an option, if nothing else, than to ease your mind about being pregnant or not.
It's just weird because I had disharge and diarrhea before the steroids or augmentin. I don't think I'm pregnant now Its just weird to not have a period.
