Miscarriage. On Birth Control Pills. Feeling Tired, Hungry And Frequent Urination. Could I Be Pregnant?

I had a miscarriage in June had a d&c landed up with a post op infection. I went back on my birth control end of September. My period was alot lighter then normal before I started my birth control again but my dr did not test me to see if I was pregnant. So I started my pill and husband and I did have sex and lately have been extremely tired and always hungry I eat till I'm full then 10 mins later I'm hungry again and I find I'm going to the bathroom ALOT more. Could I be pregnant or what is going on?

hello there!
thank you for asking. i believe it is more like an infection of urinary tract than pregnancy. And pregnancy odds are not much. As intercourse also increases UTIs. as you have previous interventions. like D & C and they increase the odds further.

All you need is some Sitz baths and proper hygiene and toilet techniques
Avoid irritants in the vaginal area, such as perfumes, soaps, and panty liners, among others.

After swimming or exercise, which keeps the vaginal area moist, air-dry the area or change the underwear.

Always clean the area from front to back.

Reduce simple carbohydrates, refined foods, and alcohol to reduce frequent/persistent yeast infection.

increase Acidophilus supplements in the diet to prevent recurrence infections, especially if patients are taking antibiotics.

Increase the intake of Garlic

Practice safe sexual intimacy

Avoid douching as it may may actually exacerbate symptoms

Keep Good hygiene,

Drink plenty of fluids.

If the problem persists you should see the nearby Gynecologist to be prescribed with some medications and you will be fine.

Hope i was of some help. Take care

Regards
