    Pregnant Vs. Birth Control
    Hi, I started taking birth control about 3 1/2 years ago. I started on the pill and switched to the Depo shot, and then switched back to the pill 5 months ago. Through this whole switching process, I never had any side effects. I've missed a few days taking my pills this month and last month and 5 days ago I decided to stop taking them. Recently I have been exhausted for no reason, frequent urination, I've had bad nausea, some headaches, and earlier I almost puked while eating spaghetti. My question is if this seems like pregnancy or side effects of stopping my pill and missing days, even though I've never had side effects before?

    (Comeandgetme, you are too young to be able to give accurate answers on this topic.)

    You stopped the pill.
    You might be pregnant.
    Your period might be late and causing symptoms, combined with the hormone fluctuations that often happen after stopping the pill. There is NO way to know which it is yet.
    Pregnancy and menstrual symptoms are much too much alike to EVER be able to predict one or the other.
    You are just going to have to wait, and buy some HPTs and start testing in a little while.

    Were you trying to get pregnant, or just hoping you wouldn't?
