Stopped Tablets And Passing Urine Frequently. Headache, Cramps And Constipation. Chances Of Pregnancy?

I missed 7 days (all of white active pills).. I've been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for almost 4 yrs now and lately I've debating on wanting another child and been lazy on taking my pills (probably cause I intend to want to get preggy) Anyway,July 12 was my 1st day of my last period and I never take the green/reminder pills which are the 7 pills of the pack.. Supposed to start a new pack on the 15 of July but didn't took any til Sunday July 21st.. But decided to stop because of worries that if I'm pregnant,I don't know if that'll affect the baby.. Had sex on the week before my period starts and had unprotected sex during those days that I didn't took my pills and now,I've been urinating more than usual...Can that be an early symptoms of pregnancy or too early to detect? And yesterday,July 27,I'm bleeding and this morning,I had a pretty heavy one.. Headaches,cramps and constipation is what I'm feeling...

Hi and thanks for this query.

From the information you have provided, pregnancy chances are real because you stopped your contraceptive pills and had unprotected sex. However, with the vaginal bleeding, this is more unlikely that there is any pregnancy going on right now. The best way to tel is to do a rapid pregnancy test.

Frequent urination could be a sign of UTI also. If it should persist and more so with discomfort during urination, please talk to your doctor.

Exposure to hormone in utero can affect a baby. Until, we confirm that you are pregnant, let us not heightens fears about the possible implications of this.
I strongly think you are not pregnant though.

Hope you find this helpful and informative. I wish you well.
Ask morre questions if they do come up.
