I am pregnant symptoms and conditions

My daughter has been on Singulair 2 times now. The first time my husband & I thought it was wonderful - she was a little over a year and just stayed sick throughout the winter, once on Singulair she didn't get sick again. So they next year around the same time, the Dr. gave us another prescription to take throughout the winter, to prevent getting sick. My now 2 year old has been on Singulair for a month and this past week she has been evil! She WILL NOT listen, she is extra hyper, doesn't eat as well as she used to and has pretty much done away with taking naps. She used to be wonderful at school, but now the teachers are even complaining she wont listen, or sit still, she takes whatever she wants no matter what friend is playing with it. She is not phased with spankings or time out. My 2 year old was sent to the Day Care office because she wouldn't listen or be still. I was so embarrassed. It has gotten to the point at home that spanking hurts our hands worse than it does her. I am so frustrated, however after reading this, I think we are going to take her off the medicine and see if her behavior and appetite return to normal. I am pregnant with our second child and don't have the energy to keep up with her. She has always been a hyper child, but her behavior she would listen. She has just gotten out of control. I feel like those people that should be on the TV show where someone comes into your house and teaches you how to discipline your child.

I am pregnant in my thrid trimidster. My doctor perscribed me these CEPHALEXIN MONOHYDRATE 1tab/x3 a day. BUT: I only took ONE A DAY (I was too scared to take more with baby) and found over the last 3days I have been very EMOTIONALLY ERACTIC, feeling faint and energyless during the day, with a lack of desire to eat. I have swelling from pregnancy in my feet but my arms were the limbs I noticed going numb with my hands blotchy and tingly. I felt nauscious. When I did decide to rest/ sleep I have such a terrible awake feeling and stressed that my eyes are close but I am so very awake.

Thankyou to everyone who posted their symptoms as this helped me!

I have been on femcon for almost 2 months now. i have one more week left on my second pack. anyway, i havent had any problems or any major side effects until now. i just feel like i am pregnant which i dont think i am but my breasts are so tender they feel like they could just burst, my nipples are darker and bigger. I just feel like i am really full of the time. Has anyone else ever felt like this?

Hello All..I hope my experience can be slightly helpful to anyone reading this..I am a married 31 year old woman with 2 children. I was suffering from a sinus infection for around a week, maybe a week and a half..Now first,let me tell you,I am not one for doctors..I go when I am pregnant and if I am really really sick, otherwise..I am an over the counter kind of girl heh but because I was experiencing bad symptoms ( burning smell in my nose, pressure etc) I decided to go in. I went in on Saturday (believe that was Sept 29th) and saw an associate of my "regular" doctor. He checked me and confirmed what I believed to be true, a serious sinus infection..Now because I am a selfpay patient, my doctors usually will try and helpme out with samples of meds they may have, which I always do appreciate..This time he gave me a free voucher for a 10 day supply of Avelox. Now mainly because I have never had a bad reaction to any antibiotic ( I normally take amoxicillan and erythromycin ) I didnt think anything of taking that voucher and getting on the road to better breathing. I filled the script that afternoon and began the first dose..Nothing specific happened right away, but later that night I started to get a real bad headache, I am prone to headaches here and there so again I thought nothing of it..Went to bed and woke up that sunday still with the headache but it was worse..During the afternoon decided to lay down, take a small nap, hoping I would wake up feeling better, but when I woke up (and mind you, I have taken the 2nd dose of avelox by this point) I felt HORRIBLE! I couldnt breathe, my chest was tight, I was lightheaded, dizzy,nervous/anxious..I felt like I was jumping out of my skin. Clearly the worst experience of my life. I managed to try and keep calm,did breathing exercises and waited until Monday morning to go see my doctor and of course was not about to take any more of this crazy med.. (This attack went on and off for around 14 hours). When I went in on monday, I was still feeling ill and having some of the symptoms but did feel better compared to the night before. My doctor confirmed I reacted very seriously to the medication and went on to tell me that she has had patients commit suicide after taking it >.

This morning ( Oct 5th 2007 at 5:10am) , I am feeling a bit better, the symptoms had lasted on and off all week..I had no appetite until yesterday, which I actually ate 3 good meals. I was bloated,anxious, nervous, lightheaded..I also had/have a bit of insomnia..just really really sick.. I am hoping I will continually feel better. But this was indeed a truly scary experience. My doctor informed on 2 remedies that are natural...for the bloating and gas pressure and discomfort,she told me to get acidophilus.which is "good/friendly" bacteria to replace the ones the antibiotic killed off. She toldme to take this for around 2 weeks. And for the insomnia and anxiety/nervousness she told me to get Valarien,again all natural to keep me calm,it is a natural mild sedative. I hope this will help someone out there because I had read through every post I could find this week to try and help myself and keep calm. Good luck to you all and please, warn others about the risks and dangers of ths horrible medication aka POISON :(

I have been taking Femcon Fe for 3 weeks now and I am not impressed. Not only have I had terrible spotting everyday since I began taking it but I also have the most awful nausea. I cant keep any food down and have lost about 5 pounds or so. It almost feels like I am pregnant (im not though). I cant wait to get on something else.

Thank you God! I thought i was loosing my mind....

I have been on the NR for about 6 months now. at first it was great! i didnt have really any problem at all. (I have had issues with Depression in the past and i had been doing better but i found on the pill i had some mood swings so i changed to the NR to try and fix that. BAD CHOICE.) About 2 days before i was supposed to take it out the first time I had horrible cramps and headaches and i thought it was normal. But since then my moods have been INSANE. I am on my "off" week and so far i havent started my period. I am NOT gunna put it back in this month. it just doesnt seem to be worth it. I am terrible to people that i really love and i dont know why. I have gained about 20lbs and im working out more than i ever have. I cry all the time. I get sick all the time. I just called my dr. and set up an appointment. now that i know im not alone, something definitely is gunna change.

Has anyone else completely skipped a period due to the NR? As of today i have skipped and while i dont see how i could be pregnant (only had sex once this month due to my complete lack of wanting too which im realizing now could be contributed to the NR) I am still a little worried.

Thank you so much ladies!

I've been on the pill for almost two weeks now, the first week I had no symptoms then on Monday I started bleeding and have been bleeding ever since. I hope the symptoms go away soon because I don't know how much longer I can take the bleeding espically since I just had my period less than two weeks ago.

I have taken this for 3 weeks and I had to stop. I just had a baby and I know I'm supposed to be tired, but even if I slept for 8 hours I was so tired that I could hardly hold my eyes open, I was depressed, sick to my stomach and dizzy. I was really thinking something was wrong with me and I went to the Dr to have blood work done and everything was fine so I'm switching back to Lo Ovral.

I have had my Mirena since Jan 07. My periods are certainly much lighter however I am spotting in between. I am having cramping and nausea almost daily know for about a week and my lower back hurts as well. The nausea is what is really bothering me. I don't hear too many complaints about nausea. Is anyone else expierencing this?
Thanks.

Hi, I am a 32 year old nurse, and I started Yasmin June 1st 2007 at the end of my period as a means of birth control. The second day woke up with nausea and a bloated feeling. Weighed myself had gained 1 pound. 2nd day, same thing, nausea gained another pound. 3rd day nausea was worse, I had only urinated 2 times the entire day and again gained another pound. By the fifth day, the nausea last all day long and I had gained 5 pounds. I called my doctor and was advised to stop taking it. It's now June 30, I have lost the weight, but the morning nausea has persisted and now I am constipated, having daily cramps, and several symptoms as if I am pregnant including extemely emotional, bloated feeling but my HCG yesterday was negative.

I am a 44 yr. old female. I have been taking Advair for about a month. I have to say that it is wonderful that I can finally breathe but the leg cramps and constant heartburn that I have never experienced before is unreal. The weight gain is becoming an embarrassment as everyone I come in contact with comments or asks if I am pregnant. After experiencing breast secreations, I checked and that was a negitive. My 8 year old loves it that most of the time I am too hoarse to give orders. That is when I can finally pull myself out of a much needed doze or nap. The sweet me has disappeared and the wicked witch has taken over as I am always moody, depressed and tired. I too have experienced flu like symptoms, ringing in my ears and insomnia. Advair along with the Singuliar has made life on the breathing end very good, but on the health end the pits.

I have been taking Desogen for about 2 months now and I know there has got to be an easier way for my body to ajust to a pill. I am constantly hungry (even after I had just stuffed my face), tired, spotting, acne, bitchy, & I have constant headache's. I feel as if I am pregnant. But I know I am not. This is a horrible Pill and as of today I am no longer taking it. So I recomend if you are on it and are looking up on it end it as soon as possible.<3

I don't know if this counts as a side effect or not.
I stopped taking Yasmin on the 6th of October and got my period on the 11th of October. I want to try and have a baby but I don't know what is going on with my body. It is now the 9th of November and no period. I don't know if my period is delayed or not, or if I am pregnant.
I went to the doctor last week to see if I was pregnant and the blood test results came back negative. So I am guessing that my side effect is that my period has not returned because I don't think that I am pregnant.
This is very frustrating because I want to concieve and my period is not present and I can't determine when I ovulate so this is a pain in the butt.
That is my side effect of yasmin. You stop it withdraw bleed and then your body is out of wack for ages and no sign of period which makes you think that you are pregnant. But then again maybe I am and I don't know it!

Since May 1st, I was put on Prednisone for extreme physical inmobility. My first doctor (in emergency room of hospital)diagnosed me as having Polymyalgia Rheumatica. However, my specialist is still unsure as all test results have not come back. I was on a heavier dosage of prednisone and tapered off for 1 week when symptom reoccured. My specialist has me down to 2 pills a day and mobility has resumed. During this time, I have experienced skin rashes, tremendous hair loss, cramping in legs, pain in right arm, joint pains and stiffness. I look like I am pregnant at 68 yrs. old. What's with the stomach bloating? I hate the taste of the pills, the nervousness it creates. Can arthritis be this painful to the point I can't move at all? . As a woman... and vain....It makes me want to cry at the hair loss I go through every day.
There maybe more health issues with me than I am unware of at this moment. Is taking Prednisone a commonly prescribed medication for arthritis or other related issues?
There should be another drug with less side effects.

I have been on this pill for about 1.5 months and have gained 15 lbs and am bloated like a balloon. I can not control my appetite. I always feel starved. I usually can not sit still and now I fight to keep my eyes open. I feel like I am pregnant! I have had several break outs and I have never had this problem before! This pill is awful!

I am pregnant and I have got a rash all over my body when I started taking this.

Ever since I've been on Levoxyl, my breasts are so tender
I can't even stand my clothes to rub against them. It
feels like I am pregnant (which I definitely am not) or they
are so full before nursing. Is this a possible side effect?
If so, will it go away? I have been on this medication for
nearly one month.

Silke,

Thank you so much for your reassurance. Your post made me want to laugh and cry at the same time. I too despise the way I look. I go to the mirror everyday singing-Mirror mirror on the wall, maybe I AM pregnant after all. It's insane the way I became completely disfigured. From a skinny little nothing I now feel as if I'm constantly walking around with a shadow attached to me-cellulite that is....My clothes pop and all my undergarments leave huge indentations on my skin. Which is a sure sign of water retention. It's absolutely a nightmare.....
For me 62 days is quite long already. I was only on this shit for 4 months. Well I guess I have to suffer just a little longer.
sigh........
Take care everyone and good luck in your detox road.....

I was so glad to hear that what I am going through is normal. I have been on Yasmine for about 4 months. It is making me a completely different person. I am so irritable, tired, sad. I have uncontrollable outburst of tears for no reason. I literally feel like i am pregnant. The first week back from the sugar pills is the worst. I was told that Yasmine was the pill that had the lowest amount of hormones, so I am affraid to switch because I really don't think I could handle more of this. Any suggestions?

I am 26 and have been taking Toprol for 4 months now for Premeture Ventrical Complex. It has helped greatly but has zapped me of my energy, made me gain at least 5 pounds...not to mention the inches I have gained in my breasts, hips, and middle section...which I did not need!! I feel like I am pregnant all over again!!

I have not had great success on birth control, so I decided to try Yasmin, seeing as it was a new drug using a new kind of progesterin. I did not make the connection until i found this site. The first 2 months were ok, but did notice that i had less energy, and some depression. I was optimistic about this pill. The second week into my third pack, i got a raging yeast infection. This is something i had experienced in the past on many other brands of BC. I was so upset. yet another one failed. I cleared that up, and i am begining to feel dizy, and my boobs are getting big, and i feel all bloated in my tummy. I only have 5 more pills to take, and i can't wait go get off them. i feel as i am pregnant, but hopefully am not. I hope it is just a side effect from this drug. As soon as i start my period, i am going in for an IUD. no more hormones. my husabnd has noticed a huge change in my mood and says that he will do anything as long as i dont take the pill. If the iud does not work, i am getting my tubes tied. I have 2 wonderful kids, and am tired of battling with this entire birth control stuff. those of you who are doing fine on this pill, consider yourself lucky.

I just had a baby 5 months ago. In the beginning I was breast feeding and therefore on a pill called Errin. After a while I started spotting all the time. Since this was a pill without a week break I did not have my period. I changed to Yasmin because I have heard that there is less weight gain and I was tired of the constant spotting. I had also stopped the reast feeding. From day 1 I had terrible side effects. I felt pregnant again!!! All the symptoms from sore breast to morning sickness to cramps to running to the bathroom all the time. And the mood swings!!! I thought I was pregnant for sure! It jsut felt exactly like when I was pregnant not so long ago. I took 2 home pregnancy tests - both negative. I really don't think I am pregnant. I have been on a pill for many years before my baby, but I have never experienced anything like it. I stopped Ysmin yesterday even though I am not at the end of my pack. I won't accept and live with these side effects! What good is the pill when you constantly think you are pregnant? This is not peace of mind - this is torture! And I do not even want to think about what these side effects are doing to my body. I will be looking into another birth control method. Anybody has any experience with the patch?

im pregnant , i endured the major emotional ups and downs,i was snappy, i was up alllll night long for many nights, again last night i was up all night long due to the pain in my ovaries that as i read will subside, so i will wait. however the bottom line is that I AM PREGNANT.
