birth control vs pregnancy

Kaylee

okay get ready for a long one...

in November I started Depo-Provera, I hated it. I didn’t get my second shot after three months was up and I started a combo pill instead. I started that February 25th, I’m going to be completely honest... I’m not used to taking pills anymore so it has not been consistent. My boyfriend and I have been together for a year plus and we have always used the withdrawal method primarily, we use condoms but not consistently and my birth control clearly hasn’t been consistent. Because of Depo-my period has been dumb to say the least. I started depo at the end of November, had no period in December, had clotting and spotting in January, spotting in February and here we are in March. Oh sweet March. I don’t know if it’s the hormones or what but I have been spotting on and off since the month started basically I have been insanely tired, way too hungry, followed by annoying nausea, sore boobs, cramping, etc. part of me is terrified that I’m pregnant and the other part of me is trying to convince myself that it is the hormones. should I take a test? Should I wait it out? I’m just lost and scared out of my mind 🙄
