I recently just got put on loestrin24, the first week or two of being on the pill my boyfriend got off in me. ( we had not fully discussed how we should wait a month to let everything adjust first.) I also have been up to 10 hours late on taking a pill. I forgot to take it one night so in the morning I took it and then still took the due one at like midnight. Ever since maybe about the second week of my pills I have had some brown spotting and sometimes pink. Like maybe 2 days after he got off in me I had real pink/red blood when I used the bathroom, but that only occurred for one day, and ever since then I have had the brown spotting! This is my last week of pills so I know I should be starting my period anytime and the brown spotting has not been as heavy, but I have felt very tired in the last few days. Around week 2 of my pills and after he got off in me I had seriously sore breasts!! I have had a little bit of cramping, but it's just real slight, and now this week I am unusually tired but I have a hard time sleeping continuously because I woke up to pee and my legs are aching me like crazy. With all this being said I was wondering if this sounds like pregnancy symptoms or if this could all just be from me messing up my pill and my period is coming? Please give me your opinion and whether you have heard of this happening to other women in their first couple weeks of pregnancy. Thanks :)

It really could be from any of the three. You'll need to wait and see what happens when your period is due. However, even that may be a bit off simply from having just started the pill.

Give it a week or so if is doesn't show up when you expect it to and try a pregnancy test at that time if no period. In the meantime, continue on the pill, making sure you take them on time. Some women find it is helpful to set the alarm on their watch or their cell phone to help remind them.

It is also a good thing to Always use two forms of birth control unless you really just want a baby.
