Pregnancy symptoms? Or side effects of birth control?
I recently started taking birth control pills, within the first month I had unprotected sex (no pull out, or anything) I know you’re supposed to have a back up method, but we didn’t use one. It happened to be one of the days I was ovulating, about 14 dpo I started bleeding, a little late for implantation bleeding I thought. It started out brown but ended up as a light pink color and lasted about 5 days. I know birth control can effect your period so I wasn’t sure which it was. I’ve taken numerous pregnancy tests that came out negative, but i’ve also taken ovulation tests on days I should DEFINITELY be ovulating, and came out with negative, so it actually makes me question the tests? They were ordered from ebay, supposedly the kind they use in doctor’s offices.. I haven’t seen any dramatic side effects, I find myself getting tired, and irritable, but no frequent urination or breast tenderness. I’ve been having some extreme depression, and severe mood swings. Also, I don’t currently have medical insurance, so I’m unable to get a blood test done at this time.

Your symptoms may just be the birth control. The first time I was on birth control I had mood swings and headaches also my first period was short and not at all normal. I was bleeding very lightly. But to be sure you should deffinately go to a doctor. Although you don’t have insurance search online for a community clinic near you. They are often inexpensive and most of the time they have a payment plan so you pay as you go. I used a community clinic during my pregnancy and I was treated very professionally and its not what everybody thinks (too many people and not enough help)
We actually have the same situation. And it’s all just because of the birth control. It was my first time to take birth control pills last month and the birth control pills usually will change the cycle. So the bleeding that you had is the actual period that you are supposed to have menstruation. You will have your menstruation/bleeding at the same period every month. Don’t worry about it. I was worried about that too but I read the instructions on the packet and all my worries were gone. I suggest you read the packet inside the box of your birth control pills so you’ll know what symptoms or effects you will experience as you take those pills.
