Regarding "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" show

Ok, I've lurked around a few days and I have a different type of BC question from what I can tell. Sorry if I'm repeating something but thanks for listening!

 I'm on Necon (generic for high-dose Ortho) to, firstly, try to control heavy menstrual bleeding. That's what the doc recommended. Periods usually last 6-7 days, no spotting, just on and off.

 Everything was crazy during the last months before the wedding, bleeding every other week and such. 2 days before the wedding, I started and it lasted 2 weeks after. The cycle I had after this one was very low. Almost non-existant and light. Never had one like this since menarche.

So, my point is... I'm on BC, taking it regularly, within the same hour every day, and I've seen that "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" show before (Discovery Health junkie...) and I'm just wondering... would there be a need for me to POAS just to make sure? As far as I can tell, I'm not gaining weight, no strange symptoms, no nausea... nothing to indicate I'm pregnant, but my Mom and Grandmother never had symptoms, either. What are your thoughts? Thanks a bunch for the advice and please be merciful... I'm new to this whole thing...

  • I would to ease my mind.

    But you know...don't the ladies on that show always say "well I POAS and it came back negative, so I had no way to think I was pregnant?" Wink Just messing with you.

  • FFS. Just pee on a stick if you think you're pregnant. You think a bunch of internet strangers have a window into your ute?
  • It kinda sounds like your body has been thrown for something of a loop with all the craziness around the wedding, so it's entirely possible that that's affecting your "period" as well.  But if POAS would reassure you, go for it (although I probably wouldn't waste my money on more than a dollar store one, personally).
    When it's all said and done, what matters most is your relationships with other people; without good friends and family, what's the point?

  • To Puppies - No, I don't expect anyone except for myself and my doctor to have any insight into my personal life, but I figured, there's nothing new under the sun, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who pondered this. No need to get defensive. :) Have a nice day and buy yourself a cookie. It'll get ya happy.

    I don't think that means what you think it means.

    I apologize, Puppies, if I misread or misunderstood what you were saying. No hard feelings?

  • My guess would be that its the bcp's working. On bcp I have basically no period (well obviously before I was pregnant)..maybe a tiny bit of spotting. Off bcp I have a heavy period, and lay in the bed with a heating pad in the fetal position crying type cramps.
