Though the urine tests are negative, do the symptoms suggest pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have been on Lo Loestrin Fe for four months. I have never missed the pills on any days. I started to develop pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, food aversion, breast tenderness, dizziness, crying and fatigue. I stopped taking the pill and took three pregnancy tests in the morning using fresh urine. All the pregnancy tests were negative and I have been bleeding bright red blood for a day. I have to change the tampon every three to four hours. I am still experiencing nausea, food aversion and have chills. I am not running a fever. I had experienced similar symptoms before also on a 30 mg combined birth control pill. That time, the symptoms resolved when I stopped using the pills. Though my urine pregnancy tests are negative, will these symptoms suggest that I am pregnant?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If three tests are negative and you are bleeding after the stoppage of the tablet, then you are not pregnant for sure. The bleeding may be more because you stopped the tablets in between. The symptoms that you are experiencing do not happen only in pregnancy. It can happen because of tablets, a stomach infection, climate changes and acidity. You should take a gap of one month after three months, and see if you still have these symptoms. If you have eaten outside food like oily and spicy food within the past few days, then it can be stomach infection and symptoms are because of it. Get consulted nearby and you may have to take antibiotics. Drink more water and do not eat spicy, oily or outside food. Eat fresh home-cooked food if possible.
