On Levlen ED Due To Irregular Periods, Periods Due, Having Bloating, Severe Nausea. Pregnant?
My doctor recently put me on Levlen ED due to my irregular periods, I am also taking Lovan. I have started taking them and I should be due for my period but it still hasn t come. I have been having bloating , severe nausea and feel like I am gaining weight. Is there a possibility that I could be pregnant or is this just a side effect from the pills?

Hi,
Your symptoms are not very specific for early pregnancy; they could be premenstrual as well. The bloating and weight gain could be due to the medication. Anyway, please exclude pregnancy through a HPT and if it is ambiguous, go for the blood test for better confirmation. You should get a complete evaluation if pregnancy is excluded and also maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
