I am on birth control, but im very very bad about taking them... I missed three pills before I had sex and the condom broke... That was about a month and a half ago...I am still getting periods but they are very, very light and almost nothing... I have been nauseous, and heartburn and gained about 10 lbs... I havn't even told my guy that I have suspisions yet... What should I do/what do you think?

It would be too soon to gain 10 pounds after only 6 weeks and the light periods are a symptom of the pill. However, there is always a chance of pregnancy so if you suspect, you should take a test. If you were 6 weeks pregnant, it should show positive by now.

You should take a pregnancy test.
If it turns positive - then see a doctor to arrange appropriate health care.

If it turns negative - then see a doctor to arrange a different sort of birth control that you don't need to remember everyday.

For future reference - for anyone not trying to get pregnant - if a condom bursts see a doctor as soon as possible to get some emergency contraception.
