Hi everyone,
So Ive had to switch to a new birth control for finance reasons and have been experiencing some issues. A few weeks into switching, I started to put on weight visibly, my boobs became sore (I could barely lift them into my bra), I got headaches, I was getting nauseous again (I have had problems with this before so I didnt think twice) and my back was killing me! In this time I did have unprotected sex on this new pill because I was told I could trust it. Because I hadnt got my period yet and it wasnt due I wasnt worried and started putting these weird things down to my pill. Then I was 5 days late for my period and started panicking (Im only 18 and pregnancy right now is my worst nightmare). I was scared until 5 days late I got my period. Except it was tiny brown spotting. I thought oh chill its just old blood. But then the day after I was hit with such intense cramping pain and that I physically threw up. I checked my pad and it was covered (I know this is gross but like I mean leaking out the sides) and it had clots all over it. I sat down and cried until the pain went away about 5 mins later, cleaned myself up and then went about my day. After my period completely lightening up and Ive not had heavy problems anymore. My boobs stopped hurting but I have gone down with the most awful flu like thing.
After reading a bit online Im struggling to decide whether this was because my birth control doesnt agree with me or I got pregnant and (considering Im 18 I drink and smoke) caused a miscarriage.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks,
