Hello. I'm 21 years old and I've been using evra patches for over a year now and I haven't had any problems, but recently after finishing the whole cycle normally, I was two days late with applying the first patch in the new cycle. During those few days (starting with the days I forgot to apply the patch and a few days after applying it), I had sex with my partner every day and did not use any additional method of contraception. After a few days I started to see changes, at first mainly soreness and enlargement of the glands in my breasts, and one of those days I saw very tiny spots of blood in a large amount of transparent mucus. After that, I started to have a frequent urge to urinate and my breasts are getting bigger day by day, now they are incredibly big in parallel, very painful, hot and you can see veins on them. On top of all this, one day I had a strong stinging attack in my lower abdomen, with a few seconds of pauses. On top of that, I noticed that I had a black line running from my navel all the way to my pubis. I was almost sure I was pregnant, but after a few days from the day I skipped using the patch, I did a beta HCG blood test. It came out >1, I also did it now after about 20 days and the result was similar. Am I crazy? I've never had these symptoms except when I was actually pregnant. My breasts don't enlarge before my period, nor was it the case when I stopped using the patches for a few months because I mixed them up and applied them too quickly one after the other. What could this mean? I have about 3 days left until my planned period and is there a chance that I can still be pregnant, only beta will increase after the date of menstruation (if it does not occur)? I'm asking for advice because I have such strong symptoms and the result is so paradoxical that I'm stupid... I'll also add that my cycles are irregular.
