Does the birth control pill change everything?
Yes, everything can be different when you are birth control pills. The pill tricks your body into thinking that it is already pregnant so that it doesn’t release a ripened egg (ovulation). You may experience fewer PMS symptoms because your body still thinks that it is pregnant. You may have stronger PMS during your period, or your symptoms may be completely different. You won’t really know until you have gone through a few cycles what your new normal will be. That said, if you do not have period this month, take a pregnancy test, just to be on the safe side. Since you had unprotected sex prior to starting the pill, you have a possibility of pregnancy. Good luck.
