Pregnancy Possibilty?

I need some help from moms out there.

I’ve been taking a generic BC pill called Sprintec for almost a year now. I take them everyday, just not always at the same exact time. Never missed a day. I have been on anti-biotics a few times within the past year, as well. I usually try to time the two pills so that I can’t get pregnant after intercourse.
I also have the Period Tracker app on my phone.

Well, in [name]October[/name], I was a week late before my period even showed signs. When it did finally show up, it was only two or three days (unusual for me) and light enough that a simple panty liner sufficed.

A few nights ago, I woke up with a horrible sensation of having to urinate. I figured nothing of it, since I had a bottle of water before bed. But when I went to the bathroom, it hurt so bad to pee, just like a bad UTI. The next day, I bled twice when I used the bathroom (just like a UTI), and then the rest of the times, even up to today, were bloodless. Sometimes, it still hurts, but it’s not as bad as it was those first two days. [name]Just[/name] a sting, here or there.

Also, the day after the blood incident, my stomach bothered me something gruesome. I was nauseas and felt the need to “go” to the bathroom immediately. I had to go at that point, because my body couldn’t hold it for some odd reason. From that day on, I’ve had nothing but nasty experiences everytime I went to the bathroom.

Right now, I feel nauseas and exhausted. I don’t remember ever wanting to sleep as much as I have this week. I have constant dry mouth, and I’m craving [name]Kit[/name] Kats like crazy.

Am I nuts, am I sick, or should I take a pregnancy test?

Has this happened to any of y’all during early pregnancy?

Because of the frequent urination and blood my pick would be a UTI or kidney infection.

That sounds like your sick, not pregnant. Also, you can’t time bc pills to work with antibiotics. The antibiotics make the pill ineffective (it will say right on the bottle). You have to use condoms or not have sex if you really don’t want to be pregnant.

I would see a doctor. The hurting to pee and bleeding sounds like something’s up.

While its possible and I’d take a test if you have a hunch, I don’t think it sounds like you’re pregnant.

I would definitely see a doctor if I were you. It sounds like you may have a UTI or another infection of some sort. You don’t sound pregnant, but a test couldn’t hurt if you feel like you may be.

UTI s can be common in early pregnancy and it needs to be treated

Ditto the above. Frequent urination is an early pregnancy symptom, but not dysuria and especially not hematuria. Diarrhea is also not a symptom (if I’m reading you correctly, perhaps you were just talking about urination). It could be any number of things, but one possibility is a UTI that’s actually ascended upwards and is making you systemically sick. I would recommend seeing your family doctor about the need for a culture & some antibiotics.

And timing your birth control pill during the day such that it follows intercourse is not how it works. The best way to prevent pregnancy is to take the pill at nearly exactly the same time each day, such that a steady concentration of the suppressive hormones is in your blood.
