recently I have started taking the pill so my bf could have unprotected sex. we have been having unprotected sex for about 3 weeks now. the whole past week, i have felt very fluttery in my stomach, like i am nervous but it is a little different. also i have slight nausea.
last night when i tried to go to sleep it was hard, because i was having some aches in my joints, you know like i was getting a cold or fever or something.
is this cause for concern or are the butterflies in my stomach because i am falling for this guy?

Hey, firstly, if you started taking the pill on the first day of your period, you are safe to have sex without a condom from then - you do NOT have to be on it for a month before it's effective as the person above said.
The fluttery feelings you mentioned......I'm guessing your main concern at the minute is that you might be pregnant, since you mentioned nausea as well. The chances of you being pregnant while taking the contraceptive pill are very very low. Also, women don't feel movements from the baby until around 17 weeks of pregnancy, so anything you may feel in your abdomen is NOT from a pregnancy.
I may be off the mark here, but I'd guess that you feel a little bit scared about not using condoms, and a bit unsure of how much you trust the pill as an effective method of contraception??? If that's the case, then I can reassure you that if you take your pill regularly, at around the same time every day, it is significantly more effective than using condoms. I'd guess that a combination of anxiety and falling for this guy are giving you butterflies in your stomach and making you feel slightly sick. Additionally, contraceptive pills can make some people feel a little sick for the first month or so while their bodies adjust to the hormone levels. It's nothing to worry about.
I hope I've been able to put your mind at rest. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message, you can send one through my Q&A page.

In order for the pill to become completely (which it is only 98% effective) effective you need to be taking it for AT LEAST a month before having unprotected sex. Also, if you have recently been on any antibiotics that will cause the birth control to not be effective. Being that you have made the decision to have unprotected sex I do hope that you both were tested for STD's prior.

Your body is probably getting adjusted to the pill you're taking. If it persists, or gets worse, then you may need to switch to a different perscription. There is a possibility that you may have an STD, but that's only a possibility.
No, it has nothing to do with "falling for this guy". It could be anxiety because you don't trust him 100% and your body is reacting.....
Your body is smarter than you think. Listen to it, don't make excuses because you like someone and want to think a certain way.....
