I am on my second pack and I have been experiencing strange symptoms. Yes, I am one of those persons that are sceptical about persons getting pregnant on the pill, BUTI have breast tenderness, heartburn and some nausea and spotting (I know that this is normal as it takes the hormones about three months to sort itself out)Let me make it clear that I have NEVER had heartburn, even in my pregnancies, but really, I think something is up lolI also know that the pill tricks your body into thinking that it is pregnant and mimics symptoms such as breast tenderness etcSo, It''s like my mind and body is telling me two different things and would love it if you would care to share your stories!!I did suffer a lot from diahorrea and had extreme stomach problems which I was given antibiotics for in the previous pack. I have heard that these can also have an effect on the pill? 6 Pin It user comments Posted by: LOLO | 2012/08/06 With the history of anti biotics use you really could be pregnant. If you were on the pill for the long maybe should be knowing that during the use of such treatment a condom is to be used or you likely to be pregnant. Pills are generally safe but with precaution. Do a pregnancy test or consult.... Reply to LOLO Posted by: Julia | 2012/08/06 Maybe you need to go and see a Dr. We are not medically trained to assist you... Reply to Julia Posted by: tsitsi | 2012/08/06 I also fell pregnent on pill it is possible Reply to tsitsi Posted by: Nini | 2012/08/06 Both my sisters fell pregnant on the pill. Reply to Nini Posted by: VR | 2012/08/06 I know two people who have fallen pregnant while on the pill. SInce you say you were on antibiotics, it is possible it could have happened then becasue antibiotics tamper with the effects of the pill.Maybe do a home test if the symptoms persist. Reply to VR Posted by: Annie | 2012/08/06 My sister got pregnant on the pill TWICE!!!So its possible!But, if its only your second pack you may be adjusting.... wait untill missed period before testing.
