I think that I may be pregnant.
In late March I began taking the patch as my method of birth control. I removed the patch April 21st because it was my last patch. My period did not arrive until 5 days later. I recall a couple of years ago when I was taking the patch previously that my period came 2-3 days later. This period looked different, it was not extremely heavy (thank God) it was very bright and waaay lighter than it normally is. I did not even have the "brown days" towards the end of my period.
I have been sexually active and I have not been on birth control since April 21st due to some insurance issues and the pharmacy getting my prescription wrong.
On April 30th I started experiencing heartburn and a lot of gas in my chest. This annoying occurrence did not stop until May 6th.
My period tracker informed me that my period is not due until May 27th and I have been having mood swings, food aversions, and cramps like I am about to start my period. Last week, I kept having bowel movements all day but it was not diarrehea (sp)
I want to know if there is something I needed to be doing and should I take a test although I have not missed a period?
