So, I've been having sex like, every day with the same guy for the last liitle while. I take birth control dilligently, but I'm also on this new medicine (it's for a skin infection) that makes the birth control less effective. I started feeling sick about a week ago. I feel sick to my stomach all the time (but I haven't vomited yet), I'm really tired, my breasts have always been tender (so that's not a good factor), and I get headaches a lot. My period should start in just less than 2 weeks. Am I pregnant? The only reason I doubt is because my sickness started at about the same time I started taking my new meds. Is my being sick caused by the meds, or am I pregnant?

Well it's hard to say if your pregnant or not. But here is some things I have learned over the years maybe it will help maybe not. Birthcontrol is not always effective. And antibiotics kind of reverse the action of the birthcontrol. But it's always a possiblity that you are having an allergic reaction to the medication. I would call and talk to your doctor about it. They may have some more advice about it. I put a website on here that will be able to give you some more answers on medication reactions and pregnancy.

If you know the Birth Control pill is going to be less effective because you're taking some kind of antibiotic I'm pretty sure the doctor told you to use a second method of birth control, meaning a condom. If you don't use one already for any reason then you're just fooling yourself because, yes you could be pregnant or have gotten some kind of STD from this person that you are only sleeping with but he might not be as faithful. You should always be protected and practice safe sex or no sex.

It sounds like the meds to me. Most women don't start showing signs of pregnancy until after the period is due. However, You should use other protection right now since the birth control is less effective and you may be fertile at this point in your cycle.

If you are not pregnant, then that is VERY weird! I am seven weeks and when I was like 2-3 weeks, I had CONSTANT headaches, always felt nauseated, still do sometimes, but I havent thrown up. I took one of those early ept tests that let u know if ur pregnant before your missed period and one line was dark, the second line was there but it was really faint.....I went to the doc and it was confirmed positive. I would check with the doc.

I would say it was the meds just making you sick. But you need to get checked out by your doctor to make sure.

Maybe you should go to your doctor to find out if you're pregnant or take a pregnancy test to find out.

I don't know whether you are pregnant with HIV or normal pregnancy. You better go to see the gynecologist for a surprise.
