Q: Sex, Birth Contol, and Pregnancy

I recently (one week ago) had sex with my boyfriend while I was on my period. Everything was fine and he was wearing a condom like usual. It was actually the day before I was starting Birth Control (BC). While having sex his penis shrunk to a smaller size after he came. The penis and condom then slipped out of my vagina and the condom ended up spilling all over the bed and me. The next day I started my BC for the very first time. I was fine and did not feel any side effects.

Now, one week later (after we had the sex and I started my BC) I am experiencing horrible pains throughout my body. My breasts are tender and hurt. My back aches. I have stomache aches and cramps. I also have headahes, am very dizzy, and nausea (which is extremely bad, but luckily I have not thrown up yet). I actualy got a little sick after eating a sandwitch (which has never happened to me before).

I also have not been getting much sleep as usual and am contantly stressing over things in my life.

My question is could I possible be pregnant or are these symptoms I am experiencing from my BC?

birth control and pregnancy

It sounds to me as though you may need a different kind of birth control pill. There are different pills on the market. Everyones bodies are different and you may need to try a different pill. I recommend that you consult with your doctor who perscribed the pill and explain to them your symptoms. Most Likely you are not pregnant. However, I would advise you to get a pregnancy test done just to be sure. I hope this helps you.

BCP

I doubt you are pregnant. You are probably having side effects from the BCP. I remember when I first started I would get like a morning sickness if I took it on an empty stomach. It got better over time and went away. If it continues, I would get on another type of BCP. There are lots on the market.
