    Unfamiliar symptoms
    I'm expierencing stomach aches and lose of appetite .Also I had spotting for one week and three days two weeks after my period . Also I was having regular periods until July (which I started earlier and two weeks after spotting) . I had sort of intercourse with no protection after one day being over of my irregular period and took a birth control pill after inter course (which was the first pill taken) and continued taking for about 4 days (one pill each day) .I took two days one brand and the next three a different brand of birth control pills. I experienced nausea three days after intercourse but not anymore and now expierinceing stomach aches everyday and sharp pains on my sides. And have been really worried and stressing over this . Also have been excersising a lot . Could it be stress and birth control effects or possible pregnancy?

    I would say that it is at least a combination of stress and birth control, but you could also be pregnant. You'll have to wait until you miss your next period to know for sure. If you don't get your period two weeks after you should than take a test using your first urine of the day.

    Where did you get the birth control pills from?

    Do you normally take birth control pills throughout the month? You do realize they aren't to be taken willy-nilly after intercourse, right? They don't work that way. How did you get so many prescriptions?

    Oh dear. So you started taking a half finished pack of birth control pills? That might have held up your period a little or you could be pregnant. It is hard to say when you say that your periods are irregular and missing a period isn't an unusual occurrence for you. I would put it at two months after your last period if you miss the occasional period. Though with the birth control pills it is hard to say. At this point I would go to your doctor and explain the entire situation and get the best advice from him.

    It sounds like your cycle is all messed up and irregular with the off-and-on birth control pill taking. Like Craven said, figure all this out with your doctor's help.

    Not yet. Wait another week or two.

    Until you're pregnant.

    With many tests these days, they are sensitive enough that many women will get a positive result several days, or about a week, after a missed period. Some will even sooner, others not until days after that. It often depends on when ovulation and implantation occurs, the length of the cycle, and how well directions on the test are followed.

    You could try a test now, but personally, given your situation of irregular cycles, and irregular use of birth control pills, I'd just see the doctor and ask to have a blood test done. It would be worth the peace of mind.

    So many issues,

    First normal birth control pills taken after sex, has no effect at all, on stopping a pregnancy. ( for sex that already occured) there are special morning after pills for that.

    You will have to have taken the pills (properly) for a month, before they are really effective.

    So, could it be pregnancy, yes, since nothing you did,would prevent it.

    But your body and your cycle will be all confused because you started taking pills improperly.

    Based on the symptoms you described, and the way you wrote them, I'm guessing you want to know if you're pregnant. If that's the case, we really can't help, nor can anyone else online.

    Pregnancy can only be diagnosed with a urine test, blood test, ultrasound in later pregnancy, or giving birth.

    If your period is late (I'd wait at least a week) then try an at home pregnancy test using first morning urine. If that test is negative, test again a week later if you haven't started your period. If that test is also negative, wait for your next period, and if you miss it, test again or see your doctor for a blood test.

    Good luck.

    Just saw your other thread, and asked the mods to merge this one with it, since it's the same issue.

    Please realize that no matter how many times you post, you'll still hear the only advice anyone can give you.

    Pregnancy cannot be detected online, it can only be detected in the ways I described in my first post. Posting the same question, and you left out a lot of details in this one, is not going to get you different answers. Unless of course some teen comes along and tells you what you want to hear, instead of telling you the facts.
