Hormonal Contraception/Birth Control
What are the symptoms?
Since hormonal contraception is not a health condition, it has no symptoms. It is not absolutely foolproof, however. Pregnancy may occur even when hormonal contraceptives are used correctly and consistently. Women who are using a contraceptive, but who think they may be pregnant, should contact a doctor right away. Hormonal contraceptives should NOT be used during pregnancy. Common signs and symptoms of pregnancy may include:
- Amenorrhea (absence of menstruation)
- Breast tenderness and enlargement
- Darkened nipples
- Frequent urination
- Increased appetite
- Morning sickness (nausea and vomiting, typically early in the day)
- Weight gain
