Good luck you you sweetie. If I were you before your appt. I would go get a good test from the store. Sometimes the $1.00 ones work and sometimes they don't. It does not hurt to try. It really all just depends. Have you noticed anything else? Like boobs swelling? Keep us posted. less

Okay, so... Up until last month, I was on Trinessa birth control pill -- which I had been on, off and on, for over a year.

So... I'm just going to do a bullet point list here...

*** Last time I had sex was on January 26th, when I was visiting my partner. This was on the last day of active pills in my birth control pack.

*** I was on a combination pill. There was one day that I took a pill 7 hours late, as I had left the pill at the hotel and didn't realize I forgot it until I was on a train to another city.

*** At this point, I ran out of birth control packs, and so I have been off of the pill now for about a month. I have not been sexually active while being off of the pill.

*** I started bleeding as normal on the 30th, and continued for about... 4 or 5 days.

*** On Thursday, Feb. 7th, a few days after my period ended, I was masturbating and noticed a little bit of pink on my toy -- so, I was spotting, apparently.

***After that, no spotting, until Feb. 21st, when I was, again, masturbating. I wasn't being rough at all, or even using a toy. I bled a little throughout the day, and actually thought that my period was just starting. However, today there has been no blood.

So, that's my basic timeline...
I'm really worried that I may be pregnant, as every google search is telling me that spotting means implantation bleeding... I would like to do a pregnancy test to find out, but I haven't exactly missed a period yet, so I don't think it would be accurate.

I have gone on and off this pill several times throughout the last year (I know, I probably shouldn't do that) but I have never experienced spotting before.

I have made an appointment with a doctor, but they can't get me in until March 7th.

Can anyone reassure me a bit here? Facts? Thoughts? Kind words? I have two weeks until I can see a doctor, and I am absolutely panicked. less

First thing to do? Breathe. No matter what, even if you are pregnant, you're under five weeks and there's plenty of time to think everything through and make decisions.

There is always a possibility that you can be pregnant - on the pill, off the pill, using condoms, diaphragms and spermicides and all of that aside - but the probability is rather low.

Do you have any other symptoms?

- Heightened sense of smell?
- Nipple tenderness/soreness?
- Increase in appetite?
- Decrease in appetite?
- Lower back pain?
- Stomach discomfort similar to morning sickness or nausea? less

There's a really, really good chance you have a yeast infection from coming off the pill. The cervix gets irritated by the growth of bacteria and starts to slough cells in an effort to get rid of the problem.

You can buy kits at the pharmacy know which will tell you whether or not this is true.

Now that you mention the possibility of a yeast infection, I am remembering a few days early in the month that I had a bit of itching. It seemed like my clitoris, and the area around it, was unusually sensitive and itchy. I didn't think much of it, as it wasn't intolerable. I ended up treating it with the one day dose of Monistat (sp?). That was, actually, right around the 7th, when I had the first bit of spotting.

I wonder if it's possible that a yeast infection is still there even though I haven't had any irritation since then. less

Everyone, I just want to say a huge thanks for reassuring me, and giving me some advice.

I am trying to keep myself busy for the next few weeks. Technically my periods not late yet, so I shouldn't be letting myself get so panicked. In all truth, I wasn't very concerned until I started googling. I was just curious, and thought it was odd. Then I came across comments like, "that happened to me, and I was pregnant!"

Of course I did also see a few comments that went something like, "I've had my tubes tied/haven't had sex in several months, but I'm experiencing the same thing..." but it's always easier to get worked into a panic over the worst case scenarios. less
