I am on birthcontrol and have been since the beginning of jan. I always get my period when I am suposed to and it uaually lasts about 6 or 7 days. Last month it was hardly even 2 days. About 3 weeks after that I have some light colored blood discharge stuff that lasted about a day. Well I should be on my period now and I have not started yet. Also last night and the night before I woke up around 5am very sick to my stomach and last night I actually had to get out of bed and sit on the couch for a while. I finally ate some crackers and it got better. How possiable is it that I might have gotten pregnant while on birth control?

no pill nor condom is 100%. I was on a low dosage pill because of high blood pressure. And I dunno what happened, besides the sex and all, but both pill and condom failed and now I'm 1 month and counting. Go to the docs and get checked out for safety reasons. wait another week or so, just in case your cycle changed from stress or something. Good luck with everything.

There's a reason birth control says it's only 99% (or less) effective. I've known several women who got pregnant while on birth control. That's why they say to use 2 different kinds of birth control, like the pill and a condom.
It sounds like a very good possibility that you might be pregnant. You should take a pregnancy test (preferrably a blood test, to be completely sure). Planned Parenthood or your family doctor should be able to help you out. By law your family doctor cannot tell your parents or other family members without your permission. Both places should be able to help you understand your options if you are infact pregnant, though Planned Parenthood are supposed to do it without a lecture.

First of all, don't panic. Take a test. I got pregnant on the pill twice; however, when the pill was working for me there were months where I got a very light period and months where I had no period at all. The nausea can also be a side effect of the medication--especially if taken on an empty stomach.

The funny thing about birth contro is that it is only 99.9 percent accurate. Isn't it funny how that .1% chance seems to always happen to you? That's how I felt I got pregnant on the pill, and I wasn't ready for it all. It just goes to show that doubiling up birth control isn't a bad idea. Good luck

I got pregnant with my son when I was on birth control. Seriously I thought I had the flu (got my period until my 3rd month!). I went through a box of saltines in a week! It is possible!

Fairly possible. However, before you stress out about being pregnant. Take a test. Greenbacks dollar store has great ones for only a dollar. If it comes up neg. Stop worrying for now. If it is positive. Then you have your answer.

Possible. Not likely, but possible. I got pregnant with my son while I was on the Depo shot. It's possible that you have the flu or something else that is going around. I'd go to the doctor and have blood drawn to test that way.

It's possible. I was on birth control when I got pregnant. Thinking back now, I think I may have forgotten to take it that day. It's all about being careful.

well it is pretty possible if u did not take the write pill at the same time u do every single day or if u skipped a day or two before it is very possible but if u toook it all at the write time its liek a very very semall chance
