My bodies changing?

Hi ladies! I’m just about 19 years old and I’ve been going through some weeeird changes lately. So, to begin this, I want to say that I’ve been taking Enkyce birth control for about 5-7 months now, (haven’t been keeping track). Just because it might help in determining what could be wrong, for my first 3-4 packs I was taking it everyday at 9:00 pm, I even had a reminder on my phone. Lately, my schedules been messed up and I take it every day now between the times of 9pm-11pm, it just depends on when I’m going up to bed. Anyway, I recently also just moved in with my boyfriend and his family. I get my period relatively on schedule every month, give or take a couple days. My last period started started June 3rd, and lasted until about June 8th/9th. My cycle is usually 28 days, with my period being 5 days.

Recently I’ve been having super weird, scattered symptoms that have been appearing out of nowhere. I’m not sure if it could be pregnancy, stress, or my body just developing something else. Before I moved, I worked in a warehouse. A couple times, I would get sciatic like pain in my lower back down to my ankles. Although I haven’t been doing any heavy lifting since, I still have severe pain in my lower back and it’s been about 2, going on 3, weeks since I have done any strenuous work. I’ve also been feeling the tiniest bit of nausea. Not anywhere close to vomiting, and I wouldn’t call it “morning sickness”. I’m not too concerned about the nausea, as it could easily be from something I eat the day before. My stomach seems to be sensitive. The thing that’s bothering me the most, however, is pain during sex. It started SO suddenly. As long as I’m aroused and lubricated, my boyfriend can get most of the way into me, but once he reaches a certain point, it feels as though he’s tearing or ripping me, or that I’m not lubricated enough anymore. It’s not the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life but by no means do I want my lady parts to be hurting. 😬

And I also may just not be drinking enough water or eating healthy, but my urine seems to be smelling differently.

Does anyone have any advice? I’m not sure what to do in terms of doctors- unsure if I should go to GYN or regular doctor or when I should go. I’ve been thinking about waiting until I (hopefully) get my period next week. I hope these aren’t pregnancy symptoms. As far as I know, they do not line up with pregnancy symptoms and where I would be in terms of how far along I’d be. But hey, I guess you never know.

Thanks for any advice or help! My boyfriend and I are confused and want answers or anything that could point me in the right direction. 💘
