Question
Good Morning,
I have been on Cyclin 21 for many years now.  I have only stopped to have my 2 children and then back on after 6 weeks after each child was born. I started on it again and have now been continusly on it for 6 months after I had my daughter.  My cycles have always been like clockwork but this last week, I got my period 3 days early while I still had one pill left in my pack and my period lasted for 8 days! I'm worried that I will or could be pregnant again.  I have been cramping, have been nausios and my breats are sore.
I would greatly appreciate your input.

Answer
Hi Patty,
I'm not a medical doctor so I suggest you consult with your physician. In my opinion, you could be pregnant, from the sounds of the symptoms you have. Or something else could be wrong. Is there any way you could change birth control methods? I don't think that the birth control pill is healthy for your body. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens. I would check with your doctor. For a free pregnancy testing center, go to the website http://www.optionline.org
