Take a test it is the only way you will know..!!!

BC pills make your body think that you are pregnant, so often times you get pregnancy symptoms while you are on BC.

However, if you had unprotected sex and did not take pills three days in a row, and if you have been on antibiotics, you could be pregnant. The only way you will know is to take a test.

Now that you know about the antibiotics, I would make sure that the next time you have sex up until after you are finished with the antibiotics you use a condom as well so you are protected.

There are many brands of birth control pills out there that let you have your period only a few times a year. You should look into that instead of skipping your placebo pills every month. If you are on a birth control pill that has three different levels of hormones (such as ortho tri cyclen), skipping placebo pills can cause a lot of spotting and unwanted changes, since you go from the strongest dose of hormones right back down to the lowest dose without having a week off. It is not bad for you to skip the placebos, and you are still just as protected, but it may save you a lot of anguish if you switch to a brand where skipping periods is normal.

those are symptoms from birth control

or pms

or stress

not just pregnancy

if you are on your bc pills then you are protected against pregnancy

She is on BC pills, but she mentioned that she was also on antibiotics and missed 3 pills in a row. She really should take a test to be sure, because between those two factors, it is very possible she could be pregnant.

sorry i missed that part. my heads up in the air today lol

yes take a test then! thats the only way to know!

Thanks. i know i need to take a test but I'm just nervous about doing that. I'm about to end this relationship with my bf. I've been with him 2 years and I just can't take his abuse anymore. He's controlling, jealous, and possessive and has a really bad anger problem. I just dont know how to end it, i dont know how to let go. (I know I probably need to go to another forum for this but....)

If I am pg, then I would raise this baby on my own. I just can't see raising a baby together in this environment.

That's why I'm hesitatnt to take the test. I just have this gut feeling that i am pg.

from my personal eperience if you have a gut feeling chances are your probably pregnant we women have that ability to sense things. But maybe you could save the relationship and make him go to counseling, people can change!! Good Luck

Letting go is really hard when you are in a relationship like that. Does anybody else know that he is abusive, controlling, jealous, etc? If not, you should talk to a trusted adult or friend. Maybe you should bring them along with you when you do break up, so that way you will have a support system if things somehow unfortunately spiral out of control. If he is in fact abusive, that is not a situation to face alone. You are very smart and strong for realizing that you don't deserve to be treated that way, and I applaud you for wanting to get out.

I understand you are afraid to test, but it has to be done. If you are in fact pregnant, it is better to know sooner than later. Not testing/not knowing does not change the fact that you are/aren't. The sooner you know, the sooner you can figure out your options if you are indeed pregnant, and you can get to a doctor to ensure the health of your baby.

If you opt to raise the baby and keep it but don't want the father in the child's life because of this abuse, I would recommend getting a restraining order on him. This would prevent him from coming near you or the baby, and if he breaks the rules, there are consequences (jail, fines, etc).

If you don't want to raise the baby, you can always consider adoption or abortion. However, we should not even be talking about these options yet until you test to see whether or not you even have to worry! Good luck with the relationship and the results that you get on the test. I hope everything work out for you.
