Hi all, two months ago I changed from one bc pill to another as the result of advice from my doctor. I did take them every day too. Since then, I have missed one period and as of the day after tomorrow, I will have missed a second. I guess I will have to go in and have a pregnancy test. I took an at-home one the week after the last missed one and it was negative, but when I was pregnant with my son I took 3 at-home tests and a blood test at the hospital that were all negative before getting a positive result. I am a bit freaked out. I am finishing up my pre-reqs this fall and hoping to start nursing school in January. I guess I would have to postpone nursing school until next fall if I am pregnant. Unfortunately, I have also been taking loans to help out while I am at school. They have a rule that says you need to start paying back the money if classes are stopped for more than six months. I know they allow extensions, but would needing time for being pregnant and giving birth qualify as an excuse that they would accept? Can I just tell them that I plan to continue in the fall? I am also 36. Is that too old to have a baby? Would I be putting the baby or myself at risk? Anywasy, obviously you can tell I am a bit worried about the timing of this and other possible consequences as well. I may be being paranoid and it is really something else all together. If I am, I will go through with the pregnancy though and was wondering if any of you have had to deal with unexpected blessings at times like this. I know I shouldn't worry too much until I know for sure, but the only time I have ever even missed one period is when I was pregnant with my son. Thanks for anything you can share. Also, I will let you all know what turns out to be.
