Stop taking your birth control pills and go to the doctor. If you are pregnant and you continue to take them it can harm the baby. And you could be pregnant if you had sex one week after starting the pills... they take about a month to get in your system. Good Luck.

There can be a lot of reasons. Pregnancy is only ONE of the diagnoses that cause the symptoms you refer to. You could have a bladder or kidney infection, a yeast infection or even an STD. Although pregnancy wouldn't be out of the question since you haven't given your body enough time to adjust to your birth control method and it probably was far less than 99% effective since you didn't follow the instructions. That's WHY the inserts with your pills recommend you use a condom if you are sexually active the first couple of months you start your pills and that is WHY the doctor recommends it as well.

You have lots of symptoms! If you are pg you would be between 4-6 wks (add 2 weeks from conception) and that is the prime time for the implantation bleeding, nausea, breast tenderness, and fatigue to start. If you were my friend, I'd take you to the drugstore for a pg test. I am not sure about the flu feeling and muscle soreness, that could just be due to all the changes your body would undergo if you are pg. If you take a test and are not pg, then it could just be you are still adjusting to the hormonal changes from the bcp. Good Luck!

If your just starting BC then you may not be pregnant. When I went to my doctor she explained to me that You get pregnacy syptoms when your on the pill. It's just a way to trick your body in to thinking that you are already pregnant. I thought this was silly but she explained that most women complain of pregnacy syptoms while on the pill. If you really think you may be go see your doctor. If your trying to get pregnant then abstain from sex and stop taking the birth control until you get to the doctor's office. Be blessed.

Sounds like you need a pregnancy test...... It might also be the hormones in your pills...... so check that too... and some pills make you stop having periods, and when they do that, it tricks your body into thinking that it is pregnant, so then you have all the symptoms...... check anyways, and good luck.

You might be pregnant, it happens a lot to people on the pill...the thing that has me concerned is the pain in the lower left side...you may have a number of things going on...if you are pregnant, you might have a tubal pregnancy, you need treatment for that RIGHT AWAY...if you aren't pregnant you might have appendicitis...go to the dr. asap! Good luck, hope you feel better soon!

I think you have the flu. If you are late, take a pregnancy test. First Response works great. If your boobs are only sore in the morning that doesn't sound like pregnancy.

headaches and sore boobs? well, that to me sounds like you are prego. yes, lower back cramps are normal, you think you're getting you're period but you're not. I guess that's a way in which you're body is getting ready for changes. Take a pregnancy to test to make sure, though. Good luck!

Yeah... I'd say you are more than likely pregnant...
Don't take any more birth control untill you are for sure that you aren't, because if you are and you keep taking them it could hurt the baby.
Eaither way, go to the doctor... because if you aren't pregnant and you feel this way you might be sick with something else.
