    Unhappy Pregnant.. or is my birth control acting up - ortho tri cyclen lo

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    Anything will help .. possible pregnancy .. or birthcontrol screwing up?
    Im hoping to get a few answers!
    For starters my husband and I have unprotected sex maybe 3 times a week.
    really depends on the mood so im guessing my chances are higher the fact that we dont use other protection,
    Im religious with the pill, i may be late by 4 hours or so UNUSUALLY 8 hours
    but never missed a day
    I am at the end of my 4th month of birthcontrol,
    i just finished my active pills today,
    and 5 days ago i had started what i wouldnt call a period,
    usually my period fills up in 4 hours (reg size tampon)
    I have brown discharge, and i dont fill up a smaller tampon
    and i change it every 6 hours, and even with that it hurts to pull out because only the top is wet with brown discharge, i havent made it to my placebo pills yet .
    so im wondering if this is pregnancy for me or if my birth control it at a too low of a dose, im on tri cylen lo switching to alesse at the end of this week.
    Ive heard of people getting pregnant on the pill so it concerend me,
    i had a dream last night that i was i had a baby boy that was 6 months had my husbands name .. it was odd because after that dream this started to make me nervous I never thought about it before hand, dreams are dreams.


    has anyone gotten pregnant on ortho tri cylen lo?

    We'd all love to answer you with a yes or a no, but all of our bodies are different.

    The chances of getting pregnant on the pill is extremely low, 3% i believe... Other factors such as a stressful month with work, etc, can delay your period and consequently commence with brown discharge, like it's trying but isn't quite ready yet.

    I wouldn't use any tampons when this occurs, rather a thin bad because, it hurts because it's dry and consequently you can get Thrush which itches and burns and whilst on a period is very hard to get rid off, until you finish the period which sucks and makes that un-comfortableness last alot longer.

    Hang about a few days, I am sure it will flow again naturally.

    Oh forgot, .......

    Dreams?

    Mostly what you dream about has a different interpertation or meaning than what it is.

    Naturally, the tought crossed your mind and so as you drifted off to sleep that thought was still there and appeared at some point in your dream...

    It also suggests that you know the sex of your child when your child arrives, sometime in your life... That will be interesting if you come back in 18 months and say OMG it was a boy....

    something weird happened to me today...im not on the placebo pills on my pack but i have a lot of brown discharge and a bit of blood (i SHOULD be on my period) but my doctor said i can skip is i wanted to....so i did but my body aint happy with that so its reacting back....i know i aint pregnant (im pretty sure about that) so what CW said above about stress etc....it can sometimes affect you like that and also everyone is different but if you are still concerned get a pregnancy test just to be sure or give your doctor a visit
