Okay, I am 16, have never taken any birth control,and I am in my 3rd week of Loestrin. My doctor told me that if i started the pill on the first day of my period (august 1) that i would not have to wait to have UNPROTECTED sex, but to be safe, my boyfriend and I waited until august 7th to have sex, we also had sex on the 12th. Around the 15th I had some light pink discharge that lasted for 2 days...this worried me a little but i did not think much of it. Soon after that I started having back pains, cramps, nausea, headaches, my breasts are swollen, VERY tender, nipples are larger/darker, you can see the blue veins in them also. I have been picky about foods,discharge has increased, and have had terrible heartburn and have been extremely emotional. I have also had pains in my knees and ankles, and smells make me very sick to my stomach. I am very worried that I am pregnant.....but I am not supposed to get my period until the 28th so I have to wait...if anyone has been pregnant or had these symptoms on Loestrin PLEASE let me know....Thanks!

If you are concerned go buy a first response pregnancy test, they often can sense pregnancy several days before a period is due. I'm sure you're fine though...the mind can play awful tricks on you.

I would go ahead and take a pregnancy test as soon as possible. When I found out I was pregnant, obviously it was a surprise, but I could remember back to a day where I had a very light period that lasted all of an hour. My doctor said that would of been my egg implanting into my uterus...but on the brighter side it just might be break-through bleeding which I have also experienced with Loestrin, in that case you just need a pill with a higher dosage.

I am 19 and have been on Loestrin for about 3 months. I take my pill at exactly the same time each day and am very paranoid about becoming pregnant. I recently had sex (about 3 days ago) and am freaking out because the condom came off and although the guy did not ejaculate, I've been feeling nauseas and crampy. I truly think that my fear is psychological and that I'm not pregnant, but I strongly recommend using a condom along with the pill just to be "double safe".
I understand how you feel about having to wait until your period. Every day for me has been agonizing, but try to keep your head up and think positive. That's what I've been doing.

This sounds crazy because I don't even know if I am pregnant for sure....but one reason I am so sure that I am is because I just feel this bond with it....the baby...haha. I don't even know if its there and I already love it so much. Is that me being crazy? Or could it mean something?

After talking to friends of mine that have previously been pregnant, they have told me about that. The "feeling" that you get that you just know. I think that if you know, you just know. They say its a feeling that you cant describe. You don't really feel different physically, but in your mind you feel it. In one more week I'm going to take a pregnancy test. Hopefully I'm not pregnant because I know I couldn't handle that in my life right now.
Best of luck to you and let us know if you are pregnant or not.

Are you okay? Did everything work out? Reading this makes me afraid to have unprotected sex with my boyfriend, because if there's a chance him and I will get pregnant then I rather not even do it..
