Dear Cher,

if you started taking the pill (combined pill) with the first course taken either on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd day of your cycle then it should provide adequate protection against pregnancy. If it was taken on the 4th day or later, then extra precaution should be used for seven days to enable the pill to work effectively. Some of the side effects of the combined pill can mimick those of pregnancy. I.e. Headache,nausea, vomiting, breast tenderness and swolleness, changes in body weight, reduced menstrual loss, spotting in early cycles.

You body is going to take a little time to adjust to the pill, so you might find these symptoms will persist initially but gradually cease.

When you stop the pill during the 7 rest days from it, you get the 'withdrawal' bleed. It is not a true period because you would not of ovulated. You might find that because of this, your periods a shorter, lighter and for some, it is less painful. Also breakthrough bleed or spotting can occur during the cycle but thats just because of the changes in hormones.

If you are taking the Progesterone only pill, then the first course is taken on a continous basis from the ist day of your cycle and should be taken at the same time every day. (if delayed by 3 hours, protection could be lost) Additional contraceptive precautions are not necesssary when initiating treatment.

ANY diarrhoea or vomiting can alter the absorption of the pill, hence loss some of its effect of which in this instance additional precautions need to be considered.

The white fluid leaking from your breast could be colostrum (milky substance). I think that can sometimes happen due to altered hormone balances. Discuss this with your doctor or family planning nurse. Since these symptoms tyou mention only started when taking the pill, it may be more than likely that this is the cause not pregnancy or cancer of the breasts. Take another HPT to be sure or your doctor may take a blood serum test in which in some cases can be more accurate although HPT are very senstitive and reliable if taken correctly. Whilst you see you doc or nurse, maybe they can educate you on how to do self-breast examinations so that you can be aware of any altered changes and detect changes in your breasts.

Hope this helps
