On BC Pill. Missing Period. HPT Negative. Started Abdominal Pain, Night Sweats And Fatigue. Pregnant?

Thanks for your query on health care magic.
Symptoms of Pain abdomen, fatigue and breast tenderness could be symptoms of pregnancy but not definitive.
Since you are on birth control pills and home pregnancy tests being negative, less likely you are pregnant.
Refer to your doctor to narrow down the causes of missed periods other than pregnancy like hormonal imbalance, thyroid problem, excess weight gain/loss, stress , ovarian cyst.
I recommend you to
1. Get a transvaginal ultrasonography(TVS).
2. Nothing to worry if you are not pregnant. You will get your periods on finishing your next pack or even before.
3. If TVS detects pregnancy, stop BC pills immediately.
Failure rate of birth control pills range between 0.2-2%.
In simple words, less than 2 in hundred users of BC pills become pregnant.
So do not worry.
Hope this answers your query.
You may write to me anytime for further clarifications.

Dr Nilofer


Thanks for your reply.
Could you please let me know
1. When was your LMP(first day of last menstrual period)?
2. On which day of your periods did you start your previous pack of BC pills?
waiting for your reply,

Dr Nilofer


Thank you for your help!
I appreciate your prompt reply.
It is 4 weeks and 5 days since your last LMP.
By this time gestational sac should be visible by TVS if you are pregnant.
I recommend you to get a transvaginal ultrasonography(TVS) today itself.
If TVS is positive for pregnancy, stop BC pills immediately.
If TVS is negative for pregnancy, then continue taking BC pills. You will get your periods once you finish your pack or even earlier.
HPT are very non specific. You need not continue testing with HPT once pregnancy is ruled out by TVS.
Hope this answers your query.
Please do not worry. Let doctors handle your situation.
There is solution for every problem.
Take care,
regards,
Dr nilofer
