My boyfriend and I have been going together more than a year now and we know that we are perfect for each other..As you can tell we do have sex and I have been on the Evra-Othro patch for a year. I decided to stop the pacth because of it's side effects and go to the pill. I read that it takes 2 months to get pregnent once you stop your patch. I stop the end of October had my period and had sex with my boyfriend after my period still thinking that the hormones from the patch was still inside of me, so I let him *** inside of me and now I was expecting to have my period this week but I haven't had it. I had cramps 1 night last week and that was it. I felt dizziness and nausea all Sunday afternoon and felt sick this morning at 5:00 I had to go to the bathroom very badly I went back to sleep and felt sick when I woke up to go to school. I'm scaried I don't know what to do, Is it in my mind or am I really PREGNANT?????????

no one can answer that and trying to figure it out will only make you feel worse and worse. I doubt you are pregnant but your best bet is to do a pregnancy test.
Can you do it alone ? If not ask a friend to be with you or your boyfriend so you have some support, knowing is better than not knowing it really is.

I got pregnant when I was 17 ....the same way...but it was 2 months after I got off the pill, I'm 30 now. Your symptoms are the same you could experience with pregnancy...but they can also be brought on by stress and other things. my advise it to buy a test as soon as possible and find out for sure. Tests are extremely accurate now days and will help to set your mind at ease. Also not starting your period yet can also be due to you stopping the patch..that can really mess up your cycle. Remember having sex anywhere from 1-2 weeks after your period can be really dangerous...most women tend to be more fertile at the time. If you need any other help or advise...feel free to contact me. I have been there and it can be really scary...and from now on.... Don't let him loose inside you again...you are too young to be worrying about being a mom...concentrate on school!! Take care and I'll be crossing my fingers for you.

Calm down, once you stop a certain kind of birth control, you can get pregnant within that time, b/c the horomones leave your body with the patch. When are you supposed to start your new birth control..? You may be pregnant, but just wait until you miss your period, then if it never comes take a test, thats pretty much the only way your gonna find out...! Good Luck..!

Sweety, a PT is necessary & so is seeing a doctor. Getting an answer from someone online isn't the best way of confirming your pregnancy or not... I was on the pill for several years & never went off it & yet I just celebrated my son's 2nd bday a few days ago... always remember no matter how hard it seems (and it's hard, even for a 28 year old like myself) there is always help & a way make it through (if you are pregnant). Just ease your worries, get a home test & please ALSO see a doctor - say, family doc or planned parenthood... a home test isn't always accurate - the pregnancy hormones aren't always detected.
Please let me know how it turns out - someone is always there to help!
GOOD LUCK!

I know that this is the obvious question, but if you knew that you were going to be switching over your birth control methods, then why didn't you two just use a condom? If you are too young to take precautions, then you are too young to be having sex. And your boyfriend shouldn't be relying on you for all methods of birth control; he needs to carry condoms if he's going to expect to have sex with you. If you are pregnant, then he better be willing to step up to the plate and be responsible.
If you are worried about being pregnant, then stop wasting time asking the idiot Y!Answers community and call your doctor.

You might be pregnant. Even though your birth control said it can take upto 2 months to get pregnant once you go off of it doesnt mean you WILL NOT get pregnant. Everyone is different. You should've chose to use a backup method to ensure you wouldnt get pregnant. The best thing you could do is take a pregnancy test. If it turns out positive you will need to talk to your parents as well as your bf parents to find a suitable solution for you both. Good Luck. Hope everything turns out ok.

Sweetie, don't panic, everything will be okay. You might be pregnant (and congratulations if you are!), but worrying won't change anything, so just wait and see. You can take a home pregnancy test, talk to your guidance counselor at school, and tell your parents. I know it's scary, but it's also beautiful, and somehow it's part of God's plan for you. Think of an adult whom you trust and feel comfortable talking to, if you're worried about telling your parents. But your guidance counselor is probably your best bet. There are many other young girls who have been in your situation and have become wonderful mothers and even managed to get through college, and you can do it, too. Good luck!

Go to your doctor or a clinic where you can get tested. They will not tell your parents that you went. It sounds like you may be pregnant, but I'm not a doctor yet. If it comes out negative then you're not of course. If it comes out positive tell your boyfriend then tell your mom or any other female guardian. This is not the end of the world for you, life goes on. Remember that the sin is not in the baby, but in the sex.

It could be pregnancy, it could be a miscarriage, it could be the flu...without a pregnancy test, it's impossible to tell. But one way or the other, it sounds like it's time to talk to the dr. If you're 2-3 weeks past a missed period, you can try an HPT first. Good luck.

Why would you let him do that to you if you don't want a child and hopefully you don't.You should have been using protection until you got on the pill.its a chance you are and a chance you are not because it could still be in you it does takes a while
