Your Questions About Pregnancy Hormone Pills

Susan asks…

birth control pills, period, positive pregnancy test?

I have been taking microgestin for just over a month now. I have 3 children and know how not to get pregnant and followed the directions which said it takes the pills one week to become effective. I started my period while still on the hormone pills which I’m sure is normal for my first month on the pill, but than tonight I had some crazy discharge. Like purple, grey, and a champagne lipstick color, with a consistency like chicken skin or along those lines. I took an old pregnancy test I had from dollar tree and a faint line appeared , very very faint. I am still bleeding so I am thinking, maybe miscarriage although I don’t know exactly when I would have gotten pregnant, praying not pregnancy and hoping it’s nothing like a serious medical condition.. I have to wait till tuesday to go see a doctor, just wondering if anyone had a similar experience and what their situation was.

admin answers:

Be careful, a sign of an ectopic pregnancy is a light liquid-y almost champagne color peroid. I would get another pregnancy test and test tomorrow, seeing as hormone levels double daily.

Daniel asks…

Could it be pregnancy, or just a hormone problem?

I have been on the birth control pill, on and off, for about three years now. I have been a little forgetful with the pill, but we have absolutely never done it without a condom. I have never missed more than two pills at once and always follow the directions for missed pills. Since I’ve been on birth control, my period has been like clockwork. Then a few months ago, I started to feel peculiar. I had weight gain/bloating, but much more severe than usual. I had cravings and had to urinate frequently, and working in a restaurant I was almost always nauseated. My period finally arrived, two weeks late, and then I couldn’t get it to stop. I had already taken two HPTs, several days apart, and got a negative on both. After my period should’ve come and gone the second time (about 6 weeks of non-stop bleeding) I went to the doctor. She prescribed a hormone pill and instructed me to quit taking my BC pill until I was done with the prescription she had written. She tested for pregnancy and the result was negative… My period is late again this time, only about 5 days so far, but I have had no signs of discharge or blood– only cramping and bloating. I know that I have gained weight, but I just figured that was due to unhealthy eating habits. Could it be a pregnancy, even though the three tests in the past month and a half said otherwise? If not, what could be causing this?

admin answers:

You could be! SOmetimes those things don’t register! My mother was p.g and it was negative for 3 months! Otherwise you could just have a bad reaction to the medicine, although that doesn’t sound like the right type of problem! Perhaps you have become illigeric to wheat, or milk? Try going off one of those for a few days and see what hppens ( know I get sick like that when I have milk)

Nancy asks…

would a home pregnancy test work if you are taking birth control pills?

i am taking bc pills and i think i might be pregnant. i want to know if the home testing kit will even work, or will the results be in accurate due to the hormones from the pills.

admin answers:

Yes, a home pregnancy test will still work if you’re taking the pill.

The reason it will work is because a pregnancy test tests for the hormone HcG which is the hormone that is released during pregnancy and the pills only release estrogen and progesterone – two hormones that are always in your system. Thus, the hormones that are in the pill are not the hormones that will give the pregnancy test a positive.

Hope that helps, good luck.

Laura asks…

Pregnancy pills questions?

Firstly. Does estrogen or progesterone make a women more turned on or does taking birth control make u more prone to be turned on? If so, what hormone?

2.) do higher amounts of these hormones in these pills make your breasts grow more?

3.) Can they make me sterile?

I’m only 19 and I was on the shot from a young age (thanks alot mom) and it gave me all these problems so now I don’t wanna screw myself up so young and not be able to have kids or have all these sexual problems or something.

admin answers:

1) Quite the contrary – the hormones contained in the birth control pill and shots have been known to occasionally reduce sex drive – not increase it.

2) Breast tenderness is an occasional side effect, but the hormone level is too low to be causing growth.

3) No. It would not be approved for use if it could in anyway do this. It make take a couple of months for the shot to wear off (past when you’d be due to get the next one), but your fertility will return to normal within a few months as the last of the hormones are worked out of your system.

Donald asks…

In birth control pills which hormone prevents the release of GnRH?

also,

how does the absense of GnRH prevent pregnancy.

admin answers:

During menstruation, the pituitary gland secretes follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormones (LH) in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. FSH stimulates growth of the follicles, the cells in the ovary that release the egg. This in turn stimulates the secretion of the hormone estrogen. As estrogen levels rise, there is an increase in LH concentration, which causes ovulation — the release of the egg. The levels of estrogen and the progesterone hormone rise, which in turn inhibit the secretion of FSH and LH.

The birth control pill contains hormones that work with the body’s natural hormones to prevent pregnancy by putting a stop to ovulation. It suppresses the natural hormones in the body that would stimulate the release of an egg. The most common pill, called the combination pill, consists of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. These synthetic hormones negatively feed back to the pituitary gland and inhibit the normal cyclic production of hormones that stimulate ovulation.

Estrogen stimulates the pituitary gland to produce a hormone called prolactin. Prolactin inhibits the release of GnRH, which halts the secretion of LH and FSH. These hormones are responsible for ovulation, so prolactin effectively prevents the release of the egg. If there are no eggs to be fertilized, pregnancy is impossible.
