Changed birth control pills. History of endometriosis. Missed periods. Pregnancy chances?
Patient: I'm 20 years old and I have been on birth control for almost four years but my doctor recently changed my pills so that I take them continuously because I have a slight case of endometriosis and the first month I missed my period I have never missed one since I've been on the pill. I randomly have symptoms that feel as if I am having some type of hot flash. I have taken a pregnancy test but it came back negative and I took it after I had missed my period, is there anyway I could still be pregnant? Doctor: hi.. thanks for using HCM..you are taking ocp's.. chances of pregnancy is remote..since the urine pregnancy test is negative, get one serum HCG levels.. which is confirmatory..see the obstetrician in any case..all the very best..
