Bloating And Uncomfortable After Changing Birth Control Pill. History Of Eating Out A Lot. Concerning?

Hey! I have a long-term boyfriend and I am sexually active. I am on the pill and about 2 and a half months ago I changed the pill I was on to a different one for my skin. For the past three weeks I have been very bloated. It began when I was due on for my period the same as it usually does, but it never went down and I am still very bloated. I feel very unattractive and uncomfortable. I've had some stomach cramps but not really anything out of the usual. I've had some brown discharge, but I do get that sometimes, so again I'm not thinking anything of it. I did have my period, so I don't think I'm pregnant, although I do know you can still have a period when pregnant. In my house, we are having a kitchen extension so we haven't had a kitchen for a while and therefore I am eating a lot of takeaway food, but it doesn't seem drastically more than usual? Could this very slight change make such a bloating in my stomach? I'm just very scared and confused right now and I really don't know what to do!

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. It is unusual to have a period when you are pregnant. I wonder if you are having a miscarriage and should consult a gynecologist. If the bleeding is from elsewhere and you have retained your pregnancy you will know after the pelvic examination by the gynecologist. Bloating of your stomach could be due to many reasons. One that I can gather from your history is you having changed the pills and I am not sure what you are referring to. The other is that you could be having gastritis which is easily treatable. I hope you see a doctor for this and it usually helps. Over the counter medications like digene before food may also be helpful. Take care and have a lovely day!
