1st trimester
Pregnant?
FiFi
Hey everyone!
On February 14th, after a year and a half, I had my IUD removed because I had gained 10kg from it. I'm going back on the pill, though, because my boyfriend and I are only planning to try for a baby this summer.
Still, I've been having some complaints for the last 2 weeks
- Extremely tired
- Stomach ache + contractions + gurgling intestines
- Nauseous at different times of the day, but not vomiting
- Very sore breasts for the past 2 days
- Heartburn, but not very severe
- Stabbing pains in my lower back
- Headache, a kind of pressure like migraine
I got my period on February 16th, very heavy, but very short. Normally it lasts 6 days for me, but this time it was only 3 or 4 days and then it was done.
Could it be that, by switching from the IUD to the pill, my body hasn't reacted well to it?
I know I should take a test, but I'm due for my period next week and want to wait until then. Still, I can't stop thinking about it now.

FiFi, those symptoms are really typical of the pill, especially in the early stages. You mentioned you're only planning to try for a baby this summer, so it sounds like you shouldn't be pregnant right now. Maybe take a test just to be sure, but if the symptoms persist, give your GP a call. They're in a better position to assess whether it's related to the medication.
