Hello,

I am 18years old. I have been in a committed relationship ship for over a year in a half with an AMAZING boyfriend who is turning 19 this November.  Starting the past January, I started for the first time ever Yasmin. I have never missed a day, but i haven't been taking the pill at the same time everyday. Example i try and take it before school sometimes i forget and take it at 6pm etc. Starting since end of February he has been ejaculating inside of me. I had my last period March 25Th and it lasted one night and 2 days. My period is usually 3 nights and 4 days. and is ALWAYS regular. And the last period was on time. I have had frequent headaches, i have NEVER had a nose bleed before and i had my first one the past Thursday. It's never happened before. I'm am tired alot more often i could sleep a full 8 hours and still feel it isn't enough. My breast aren't tender but my nipples do look a little bigger but no color change. When i eat sometimes i feel nauseous after eating my favorite foods and have been craving peanut butter ? I have had cramps like period cramps, but no blood. And I sometimes get discomfort in my ovaries or at least in that area. And I've had dreams of people being pregnant and including my self, and my boyfriend rubbing my belly. I rarely get dreams, and I've been getting them every night for the past week or so. I don't know if I'm over reacting or maybe just feeling a little off. I just would like some input & if i should wait until my next period to see if its late or go to the doctors now, because if i am pregnant I'm not sure if the birth control will harm the baby ? My boyfriend and I discussed what we would do if i was pregnant a while back when we first started dating. This is my first time of me wondering if I'm pregnant. He doesn't believe in abortion or adoption and he would support me and the baby so i feel secure.

Thank You so much for taking the time to listen.

Yasmin is a great birthcontrol pill and I prescribed it offen.  Now the first few months of takening it can give you headaches, nausea, breast tenderness and bloating.  It also can decrease the duration of menses.  All of the normal side effects of Yasmin can mimic early pregnancy. Alll of your complaints I have heard many times from first time users that  were not pregnant.

If you are concerned take a pregnancy test. The test will be accurate  about 14 days after ovulation or around your period time if you have normal 28 day cycles.

Now do not stop your pill unless you have a positive test.  I have seen so many young women think they are pregnant and stop the pill, only to get pregnant that month.
