Am i making symptoms up ??

behowens

OK
So I am 24, and married. On BC for 3 years now. I missed 2 pills in week 3 and I did have sex that week. Now, before everyone says ' you know you shouldnt have sex when you miss, etc ' . Yes I know that, but honestly, we would be ecstatic for a baby so thats not the issue..
I have been having the following symptoms for about 5 days now. I am 7 days out from starting my period.
EXTREME dizziness, it has been off and on today but the last 3 or 4 days I have had to stop and either sit down or hold on to something
nausea with no vomitting,
food adversions ( the smell of potato chips made me snarl my nose, skittles tasted nasty, and toast made me gag the other day and the sour worms, i LOVE sour worms, those tasted weird)
my boobs arent sore, but man are they big !
i had one very sharp pain to my lower right back, and now very few mild cramping.
tummy doesnt feel any different, maybe a little funny..
but I just feel different.
moody as Ill get out. . my dog ran away with some toilet paper while ago and I totally lost it.. like screaming my head off at the poor dog, sat down on the toilet and wanted to cry but i didnt.
I turned the TV on and immediately began crying at the last scene of a league of their on..
vivid dreams. twice last night.
I went to bed at 830. .  SO NOT ME.. I slept 14 hours. then took a nap around 230 after lunch
I get tired from doing laundry

but then again. my period is due for 7 more days..
wanting to see what you gals think ??
am I going crazy or am i maybe pregnant ??

im kinda hoping i am.

Can you clarify something? You missed pills in week 3 but your 7 days away from your period. So this just happened this past week? If so it's unlikely your experiencing pregnancy symptoms. I don't think you're making this up but it could be due to something entirely unrelated. Wait the 7 days and take a test if you don't get your period. That's all you can do.

Did your husband know you missed the pills? If you think you're ready for a baby why stay on BC?

Sounds like you're paying way more attention to every little thing then normal bc of the possibility, but you really need to think a little here. You missed two pills in the third week of your BCP and are still 7 days out from your period. So even if you did manage to ovulate at that time, it takes a week or more for implantation to happen, and symptoms don't start until after implantation. It sounds to me like your body is fighting off a virus, but if your body IS far enough along to produce pregnancy symptoms then you're far enough along to take a test.

I was on BC to regulate my periods.. and I meant to say week 2 on the pills.

thanks for the advice

If you're pregnant enough for symptoms you're pregnant enough to turn a test. If you missed pills early in week 2 (like the first or second of the week) and you did ovulate, you'd be about 12 DPO and could potentially turn a test. Just take a test.

Second to Joy's question. Did you follow the instructions for what to do if you miss a pill?
