Signs of pregnancy symptoms and conditions

Hello everyone,

I have been feeling certain things lately so I thought "let's see what Google thinks it is". I typed in "bloated, tired, swollen legs, increased breast size" and the first site that pops up is this website. I actually thought I might be pregnant because and was surprised to see "Yasmin Side Effects" instead of "signs of pregnancy". I have taken Yasmin for almost 7 straight years. I was off it for 1 summer and probably one other month total in that whole time. I haven't really noticed any huge changes until recently and, like I said, it hadn't even crossed my mind that the things I was feeling could be from Yasmin. First of all, my breast won't stop growing and are so, so sore. I actually just bought my first D bra tonight, after being a C since probably my Junior year of high school. My legs and specifically my calves tend to feel extremely tight and stretched lately. I thought this was from running & exercise in general, yet I've exercised intensely & frequently for 4 years and this is a recent feeling for me. I have noticed for about a year that spider veins have started appearing on my legs. I thought I was just inheriting this from my mother, who has a lot of spider/varicose veins. My sex drive has definitely decreased significantly over the years I've been on Yasmin, but again, I thought this was normal or "just me". I go through periods where I have quite an appetite and can eat bad foods yet not gain weight. Then I go through periods when I seem to have the same eating patterns as normal and I'm exercising normally as well, yet I always feel bloated and fat. Plus, I have no appetite during these times. I also go through cycles where I have horrible stomach issues (I get a "bubbly" feeling, have had really bad cramps on occasion). I thought this was a side effect of coffee but now I'm wondering...

I get my period next week and then I think I'll stop taking Yasmin to see if any of these problems subside. Does anyone know any type of birth control that doesn't cause side effects?

Good luck to everyone!

This is my first month on the ring and Ive been good until this past week. This was the week before my period and I have had severe nausea, loss of appetite, food smells make me want to puke, tired......all the signs of pregnancy. I also woke up last night with severe cramping and sweating like crazy. I feel like Im having hot flashes all day! Im supposed to get my period tomorrow or Wednesday. Im just hoping this is a side effect of the ring and Im not pregnant.

I started Aviane about 2 weeks ago because they stopped Alesse. I had my period and started the Aviane 28 that Sunday, and haven't had sex at all since my period and I feel pregnant. My stomach is hard, and I can't suck it in; for the first week I had almost morning sickness, I was very nauseas, and threw up the first day I took them. I've also been tired and getting headaches.
I'm actually scared that I am pregnant, but I don't see how it could be possible, seeing as I've had my period. Has this happened to anyone? Please let me know - I'm going to take a pregnancy test soon because I'm so worried. Hopefully it's just the pills!

I have been on Loestrin 24 for about a month and a half.. and I am not very satisfied with it. I have been experiencing horrible side effects. Ever since I started taking this pill I have had really bad breast tenderness, bloating, and nausea all of the time. I have also gained about 5 pounds, which I don't see how it could be possible considering I play college softball and work out about 3 hours every day, and I'm also a very healthy eater. All of these side effects match up to the early signs of pregnancy.. which can be impossible considering I haven't been sexually active for about 3 months now. Has anyone had these same side effects??? I'm just so confused and not sure what to do.. Any advice??

I got my Mirena put in almost 6 months ago. I've experienced that deep depression and my weight is so back and forth, but I've recently been feeling dizzy and always hungry. I was concerned as these were my first signs of pregnancy. Anyone else get dizzy and nauseas?

early signs of pregnancy, nausea, mood swings, breast tenderness, back hurting, extreme fatigue. I was told yesterday by my Doc, to take the pill with food, not at 10pm before you go to bed, she sd that's why I'm having bad symptoms, I'll give it another month,
melissa 23 OK

I am on my first week of taking Femcon FE. I started the pill on the first day of my period; although I have always had terrible cramps for my period I think this month my period was the absolute worse ever. I was nauseous and in a lot of pain for the entire second day of my period. Also this week I have broken out very bad which was never a very bad issue for me. This week I have also been feeling moodier then normal PMSing. I plan to give this pill a few more weeks then call my doctor and ask about changing. Please let me know if others are having similar symptoms, and if I may be having these side effects because of Femcon Fe, or if its because I am new to the birth control pill all together. Thanks.

so i've been using NR for about 7 months now and up until this point I really didn't think much of it....I've recently (the past 3 weeks) began feeling nausea, dizziness, close to fainting, gas, slight cramps, breast tenderness, chest aches, constipation....all signs of pregnancy..its too soon to tell if i am or not, but regardless ...if i am..the ring didn't work because i did everything right...and if i'm not....then thats bad...i shouldn't be living my life feeling like this..

I've been on the pill for the past 6 months and this past month, my breasts have suddenly become unusually large and sensitive. Also, I came on twice in my last cycle - which has never happened before. I'm not sure if this is a side-effect (breast tenderness & size) or if I'm pregnant. I've also experienced a number of the other signs of pregnancy, but I'm not sure if this is my mind playing tricks on me. I've been in a serious relationship for about two years and I'm currently studying... so I'm really hoping I dont have anything to worry about - no babies on the way. This site is really a great help and my thanks goes out to everyone that has posted comments -- they have really reassured me about all the other side-effects I've experienced these past few months. As for the other side effects over the past few months on Yasmin - sore breasts, weight fluctuation, very painful periods at times, lack of libido, vaginal dryness, severe constipation (only once), head-aches, dizziness, nausea, extreme mood swings, excessive hunger at times, and many others.
