is pregnancy a possibility?

on the night of september 30th 2009 i had nausea and cramping and thought i was about to get my period the next day ( Oct 1st) which is when i was supposed to get it. I didn't get it then i got it today on oct 2nd but it was extremely light with mainly pink and brown spotting . I'm just wondering if i could be pregnant? I've been cramping and feeling nauseous at night for the past couple of days which i've never experienced before. My diet hasnt changed and im not on birth control pills either. Another reason i think i might be is as soon as i have cramping for me it automatically means im starting my period that day (its been like that for 7 or 8 years now) but this time i didnt get it when expected and when i did get it i only had minor cramping when its usually severe. What do you guys think?

Sometimes I think women are cursed.

Aside from all the joys of menstruation, menopause, child-birth, aging (we get uglier while men get better-looking), obgyn visits, birth-control pills, weight-gain (we have an extra layer of fat that men don't have), hormonal chaos which causes us to become raving lunatics once a month....aside from all THAT, we really DON'T know what the hell we want.

We find a man who treats us well, but he's too nice. We find a man who isn't "too nice" but he spends too much time with his friends. Men are easy, women are complicated, which is why most women don't like each other. I really don't know how men put up with us to tell you the truth. Remind me again why I should love being a woman?

Update: October 01, 2009.
I was hoping you girls could give me the positive aspects of being a woman since everything I mentioned IS an issue for us. Just had a bad day and was looking to you guys to have a sense of humor and remind me how great it is to be a girl. Thank God some of you were able to see that.

Birth control pill question.

With the progestin pills, I have been told I have to take it at the same time everyday, otherwise it wouldn't be that effective.

How do you make sure you remember you take it at the same time everyday? How do you remember to take it everyday?

Birth Control Quandry

I recently (3 months ago) was made to switch from my previous brand of BC pills to a generic due to my insurance company's decision.

I've been on birth control for something like 6 years, and I've never had too much trouble with breakthrough bleeding, but now all of a sudden it's like my period is starting again in the second week of the pill cycle.

I called a nurse practitioner and asked if I needed to be worried. She told me to ride it out, and that things would be fine.

The one question she DIDNT answer was do I need a backup birth control method or not?!

She just said "Oh, I think everybody should use condoms!" Even SHE admitted that was a non-answer.

Before my boyfriend and I started sleeping together, I insisted that we both get tested and he agreed. We're both clean and monogamous, so STD's are not an issue here.

Condoms would be kind of a hassle for us. Neither one of us has huge amounts of cash to spare. Also, he's uncut and falls inbetween condom sizes. He's got a large enough girth that he needs magnums just to be able to put one on comfortably, but standard condoms would be able to handle his length.

If we need to use them, we will, but do you really think it's necessary? I've tried to figure it out on my own, and I don't want to make any big errors. I just also want to make sure our sex life is still enjoyable.

Thanks!

expired birth control pills??

I'm on seasonique (just switched my pill to it middle of august) and the doctor gave me my pills (this was back in aug) the only thing is they expired in september and i'm still taking them. i don't think that's too bad cause they doc gave em' to me even though they were about to expire. plus, hormones can't really "go bad", right?? can this make me sick? should i get a new pack of pills because these have expired. any advice is greatly appreciated .. thanks!

I have a question about birth control pills. I am on TriNessa....

I have been taking my pills every day but my periods have been off, so I got it this past week and took the green placebo pills, but I still have it and I have to start my cycle of pills over from the beginning again (the white pills). \

So I am just wondering if this is going to screw up how the pills are working? Or it doesn't matter if I am taking a new pill (non placebo) on the last day of my period (because I want to start on a Sunday that is technically "after" my period cause I am almost done so I can get back on track again)?
Thanks.

A question for the parents out there who have daughters.

Parents ... are you open minded enough to allow your daughter to go on birth control pills? Does your daughter know that?

I had a chat with my youngest daughter last year and I brought the subject up. She said she would have been terrified to ask her mother (she lives with my ex-wife) about such a subject. I told her that when the times comes, I would take her to the clinic myself.

I have known other people who have either admitted that they would ground their daughter indefinately if she asked to go on the pill or else knew people who felt the same way about their daughters.

The thing is - once they make the decision, they're going to be sexually active with or without your blessing. You can either give them the tools to do it safely or send them out to take risks.

btw - my daughter's fears turned out to be groundless - she's now on the pill. Kudos to my ex-wife.

My mom told me she would prefer for me to off myself than for me to get pregnant...

Needless to say, I don't get along very well with her...
I'm keeping in mind that she was born in 1945 and she's really old-fashioned but I still don't understand how a mom could say that to her child.

The randomness of her comment came about because I asked to borrow $100 so I could go on vacation with my boyfriend.

Hopefully, someday I'll be a better mother than she turned out to be.

Update: September 18, 2009.
Thanks for all the responses although this question was more venting than anything! As for the ''loving and caring mother'', you guys couldn't really understand....this's a woman who has recorded my phone calls, called me a slut after she (mysteriously) found out I was no longer a virgin, will tell me random stories about how we don't deserve her, who blamed me for my dad forgetting their anniversary....etc etc Still, even then she surprised me with this one. Thanks for all the responses! :)

Orange menstrual blood...

I got my period today and to my surprise, the blood was bright orange rather than it's usual dark red color. This has never happened to me before in my life so I'm a little freaked out. I just lost my health insurance so I can't go to the doctor about it, but I've had a lot of blood work done this past year [not for any specific problem] and no doctor has reported anything unusual to me. I've read this could be a sign of anemia but I eat a lot of protein so it doesn't really make sense to me, I eat really well actually. My period just started so I'm hoping it will just go away and change color but does anyone have any ideas on what this could be?

If it helps, I'm on birth control pills, I recently had a UTI which I took antibiotics for, and I just had a yeast infection which I just finished treatment for. Do you think all these medications could have anything to do with it? Also, my period isn't unusual in any way. Came at the right time, not in extreme pain or anything...everything else is totally normal.

Thanks!

Update: September 11, 2009.
Hey everyone, Thanks for your responses. I've had a UTI before and this has never happened. I went out and bought some B12 vitamins just in case it's an iron deficiency. I called my doctor who's done blood work for me before and said I was never tested for anemia but to not worry about it since I have no other symptoms of it. He said basically to chill, that it's probably not a big deal...which seems a little irresponsible but whatever. I checked and the blood has gotten a little darker so maybe it was just a fluke thing? Who knows. The body is a mysterious thing.

How dumb do you have to be to not notice your birth control pills are missing?

If you're taking them like you're supposed to, and you go away with your boyfriend for the weekend who purposefully removed them from your bag, wouldn't you notice they were gone?

- POP'd by STGchick, A Thinker, Female, 18-21, Military

So he finally did it

Well he finally did it. My ass of a boyfriend finally got me pregnant. What a f'ing douchebag. It turns out he's been planning this for a while, taking me away for a weekend and taking my pills out of my bag. And for what? For some so called commitment from me. We have been dating for 6 years and this is what he does. I can't believe he would even do this to me! I'll never hear the end of this from my mother.

Update: September 10, 2009.
thanks for all your "help" everyone

all of you people seem to be forgeting that he is the one that tricked MEEEE. i didnt do anything wrong. we had sex. YES. i understand that takes two but im mad at the fact that he tricked me into getting pregnant. almost all of you seem to be over looking that fact. if it were you, you would be just as angry. 1. the only reason im worried about my mom finding out is because she'll want me to marry his ass and 2. im not getting an abortion because thats not me. neither can i give it up for adoption. so pretty much im stuck this way. and you all shouldnt be mean to pregnant people. you should be ashamed of yourselves

Update: September 08, 2009.
why am i the bad guy all of a sudden? i didnt do anything wrong. now im fucking stuck in this situation.

Update: September 08, 2009.

a question regarding birth control pills...

i've been on a birth control pill since i was 18 called estro step. the first couple of years i noticed no change other than less acne and a bigger cup size, which was great.

but now, just this past year nearly five years later there's been a huge drop in my libido, it's virtually non existent. i used to always have an extremely high libido to the point that it was difficult to get things done.

my lifestyle has not changed at all this year, my stress level has been the same it's always been if not less so. and i've even started to exercise a bit more than i used to.

is it possible that the pill i'm on is the cause for this extreme drop in my libido? i just find it's odd that it hasn't caused this until five years later. is this common?

i went off the pill about a month ago and i've started to gradually feel my libido return but it's definitely not to the level it used to be. i'm worried i might not get it back, i'm only 24 for god's sake i didn't think i was going to have this problem until my middle ages.
