gynocology-related question--be forewarned!

Oh God I really hope not. I think it's very unlikely that I could be pregnant, seeing as how I've been taking the pill correctly to the T, except for maybe one or two isolated days where I took it a few hours later in The day. I never actually missed pills. that Is weird, though, with the appetite increase. It's like I can't get food in fast enough, that's how hungry I am. I just googled "spotting " and you guys are right, apparently , there are a billion possible causes so I guess I'd better call my gyno. Thanks so much for your input, guys.

I would definitely get a pregnancy test, just to be sure. Even taking the pill perfectly isn't foolproof. I just know that spotting and increased appetite are both early pregnancy symptoms for a lot of people (including myself, and I'm on pregnancy #5 lol). Good luck!!

but isn't It too soon to take a test ? I mean, I just noticed this on thursday--maybe I should include that I noticed It during sex ( I'm sorry, I know that may be too much information, But I'm getting Scared ). because Of that, i'm inclined to believe It's Just that it's Irritated, but it hasn't felt irritated Or Hurt at all at any point then Or since then, and i still don't see How that would explain why it's still happening now (keep in mind it is Less full-blown spotting now --it Only did that for a Little Over a day ). also, if It's Just Irritated, why am i having these crazy hunger pangs and i've also been feeling what feels Like menstrual cramps, but my period Isn't supposed to start until next week. anyway, i'm thinking a test can't register the Pregnancy horomone this soon.

You should definately go out and get a pregnancy test. And make appointment for blood pregnancy test that will detect it earlier than the sticks from the store. Because spotting may be the implanting and that's often too early to show up.

Why would you want to know right away? Because you are taking the pill. So get the blood pregnancy test scheduled. A GYN should schedule one ASAP if you call and tell them why you want it. If they don't, then insist.

So after you know you can go forward.

Taking antibiotics and St. Johns wart can lessen birth control pills effectiveness. And once in a while someone gets pregnant even though they are on the pill. So off you go to check!

I guess maybe I should. I don't know how I'm going to sleep with this on mind. tomorrow's weigh-in day. i never get any sleep the night before a weigh-in, but i bet i'll get Even less now with THIS to worry about. thanks for your help, though.

I appreciate your concern--very sweet! Here's the update: I went to the ER, since no gynecologist in the area was accepting new patients until like next year. About 7 hours later, they told me I was NOT pregnant, but didn't really know exactly what was causing the symptoms. They said it was most likely a hormone fluctuation, caused by my exercise/diet plan perhaps. They said it could be (benign) ovarian cysts, but they didn't feel anything unusual during my pelvic exam. I felt emotionally a complete wreck then and still so a week later when I started my actual period. Went to acupuncture towards the end of my period and felt immensely better afterwards. I'm hoping it won't happen again this month. I actually managed to get an appointment with an actual gyno (as opposed to the male PAs I saw at the ER) tomorrow at a teaching clinic. So wish me luck!
