Q: Signs And Symptoms?

I have been on yasmin birth control since july. I have had this boyfriend for about a month now. We have been having unprotected sex about every other day now.
For the past few days I have felt nauseous and lightheaded, faint, and dizzy. I have not fainted or thrown up but I often have strong urges to.
My last period was light and short ( about 3 days) as opposed to the normal 5.
I am wondering if I might be pregnant. My period is not due for atleast a week and a half, and I do not know what I should do. Any suggestions? Question

Well, to start, here's some questions for you: have you been taking your pills on time, at the same time every day? Have you not missed a single pill this month? If the answer to any of the previous questions is "no" then there's a chance you could be pregnant.
Best advice I can give is to just wait a week and a half for your period... If it doesn't come, get a pregnancy test done. Hope that helps.
