So a while back I posted about having a very irregular period for the first time in my life - my period had been late, then I bled for almost a month, very heavily. I was advised to stop taking my birth control then, to get my actual withdrawl bleed - and then start again with a new pack. Here's where I begin to sound uneducated - but I knew the action I was making at the time and was not worried, circumstances, have however changed. Not having any money I stopped my pack which I was 3-4 pills into, gave myself the seven days, and then started again, where I left off. So, I had missed 3-4 pills when starting again. Throughout the month, I had a hard time remembering to take the pills - mind you, I have been on birth control for years (first nuvaring which I loved but no health insurance now, then tri-sprintec) and never really had a problem skipping pills. This month however there were multiple times at which I didnt take my pill for a day, then would take two the next day, or didnt take it for 2 days and would stack them all. I know this is stupid, but I wasn't worried about the pregnancy my boyfriend told me I could stop taking them all together if I wanted. Then I got into a car accident and shattered my ankle, so I am pretty sedated from my painkillers, and, four days ago, we ended our relationship - a step that needed to be taken for both of us to progress as individuals. So now I'm stuck in bed, without my boyfriend, 3 days into the placebo week of a very stupidly taken pack of birth control - my stomach feels weird, my back is sore, im getting migraines, and I'm really tired. Diareah too - so maybe I am just sick. I'm starting to have baby dreams again, but I'm a)paranoid b)way at the other end of the spectrum want a kid so badly that it could just be my imagination running overtime.
