You can pregnant using both of those since they're technically only 99.9% and 97% effective...it's hard to do and probably the only way it could happen is if there was a hole in the condom and she didn't take her birth control properly. Saltines are easy on the stomach whether you're trashed from drinking, have the flu or are pregnant. Most likely she's got some kind of virus or sickness though. Tell her to go to a doctor if she's throwing up that much.

The answer is yes you can still get pregnant! My daughter is proof! She needs to figure out when her last menstral cycle was. If she is throwing up it could just be a virus. But to be on the safe side have her do a pregnancy test. If she wants privacy and no one to fine out there are plenty of pregnancy centers around that will do the test at no cost and help her through it!
Good luck!

No form of birth control is 100%. The only way to be certain is to abstain from sex. The symptoms you describe could be pregnancy and could also be numerous other things. Tell her to see a doctor to find out for sure. The sickness could be from stress, the discomfort in the breasts could be normal growth pains. See a Doctor and find out for sure. An exam is painless and can be very informative. See a Doctor and ask lots of questions.

condoms can break. and as far as birth control, depends on what kind. If its the pill, if you miss a day, take at the wrong time, it won't work. There are also some medications that you cant take with certain pills, such as antibiotics prescribed by a doctor. I've heard of plenty of people getting prego on the pill. Tell your cousin good luck!

I hate to say it, but yes. The condom may have had a small hole, doesn't have to be very big. And I got pregnant on the pill because it becomes ineffective when you have the flu. I didn't know that and i bet not many other women do either. So I'd say go to the doctor.

If she's throwing up that much, she should not diagnose herself, nor should you. She needs seek medical help NOW. If she's pregnant, the doctor will tell her, but just incase she needs to see one. Birth Control and condoms are not 100% effective, just so you know. I'm sure it's rare to not work, but there is about a 3% chance. Anyway...take her to the doctor, STAT!!!

It definitely could happen, but it's rare. If birth control was not used correctly - she missed a pill or something - it could cause pregnancy. Condoms are never 100%. Tell her to calm down and take a test if it's time for her next period now. If not, she'll have to wait until it's time for her period to test.

it is less likely that she got pregnant with Condom and birth control either its in her head or she did not take birth control or use a condom and pickles is a sterotype you dont necessarly crave pickles because your pregnant I have been pregnant twice and have not craved pickles but the only way to be sure is to take a test

It's unlikely, but there is a possibility. Keep in mind that the only 100% effective way of pregnancy prevention is abstinence.

If you are having sex you can get pregnant. Unless your cousin has had a hystorectomy there is always a chance of getting pregnant. She needs to go have a blood test done to find out if she is pregnant. If she is she needs to talk to her parents or a trusted adult.
