Q: I've Been On the Pill And I Think That I May Be Pregnant

I'm sixteen and i've been taking the pill without missing a day. I had sex and I took a test thing that said that I would be six weeks pregnant if I am pregnant at all and within the last week i"ve been feeling extremely nausous to the point where I could not get off of the couch for a day. I'm sure that this wasn't the flu because it has lasted for a week and a half but has calmed down in the last couple of days and when I had my period it was a little shorter than usual. What's the likely hood that i"m pregnant?

If you've been taking your pill correctly then the chances are vastly reduced but it's never impossible as no contraception is 100% (i've become pregnant twoce whilst taking my birth control correctly).
What test did you do?
If you're concerned then take a home test, the nausea could be morning sickness but it may not be anythingmore than some kind of bug or even pychological if you've been imagining you're pg.
Take a test and then you'll know one way or the other for sure.

It was one of those online test that you tell them the day of conception and the day of your last normal period and they tell you the chances of you being pregnant mine was 26%.

Those online pregnancy tests are about as accurate as the online iq tests. If you're very concerned, do not depend on an internet test that someone probably made out of boredom. Take a home pregnancy test.

How long have you been on the pill for? Has it had any significant impact on your cycles? Have you noticed any changes in your periods since you had sex? Do you use any other form of protection besides birth control? If so, did it fail (condom broke, etc.)? Are you on any kind of medication that could interfere with the effectiveness of the pill (i.E., antibiotics)?

Nausea is a pregnancy symptom - I won't deny that. But it could also be a side effect of the pill, it could be a stomach bug, or it could be the flu. And it's not unusual for the flu to last as long as it has for you. The last time I came down with it, I was nautious, weak, and overall miserable for over two weeks. As moo said, it could all just be in your head; women who either really want to be pregnant or really do not want to be pregnant often develop pseudo-pregnancy symptoms.

I would advise getting a home pregnancy test, and regardless of the outcome, I would suggest finding out if there is any way you could get a blood test done. I suggest the latter just to rule out false negatives (or positives, in rare cases).

I've been on the pill for about six months...The only thing that happened with my cycle because of the pill is that it has gotten shorter and last for four days everytime. And this time it only last for two days...No we didn't use any other form of birthcontrol because I didn't plan on having sex and i'm not on any medication.

My best friend and I are going to the local health department to get a test done tomarrow.

Believe me, when I was concerned about being pregnant, I took the online test and it said I had a 89% chance of being pregnant when really I was just stressed over school and work. If after taking a home preg test and you still dont feel confortable with the result, go see your doc, it could put your mind at ease :wink:
