I have been getting very nautious with an upset stomach the past few mornings, and I am worried. I am on the pill, but I had sex the week I wasnt taking them, and had my period. I also forgot to take one and took two the next day, earlier this week. Would it have happened that quickly?

It is almost impossible that you are pregnant! If it could reassure you, you could always buy a pregnancy test though it is not really needed here. If you take your pills correctly, which you do according to your sayings, you won't be pregnant.
As for your sickness, I would bet on a virus, especially a this time of the year where they're all running arround.

You really need to learn more about your body. You are at the highest risk for conception approximately two weeks after day 1 of your period (in other words, 14 days into your cycle). The last week of pills in most packs of combination estrogen/progesterone pills are placebo, they contain nothing. This is because the pill manufactures, way back when in the 50's decided that it would be too upsetting to women if they had no period at all, or they were not sure of the effect of supressing menstruation completely. And you are not truly menstruating when this happens, it's just uterine bleeding due to the sudden drop in hormones. You are not actually shedding any lining, since the Pill suppresses ovulation, and all the hormones that stimulate the formation of the monthy uterine lining with it.
Your risk for pregnancy is small, but any unprotected sex carries the risk of pregnancy. That is, even though you are on the pill, you really should not be having sex without condoms. You are putting yourself at risk for contracting sexually transmitted diseases like HIV/AIDS, HPV, Herpes, syphyllis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, etc. Unlike a pregnancy, which you have the option to do something about, HPV, AIDS, and Herpes are forever
In the mean time, I have included a link to the menstrual cycle so you can understand what is really going on in your body monthly. I guess they aren't teaching this too well in schools anymore.

When you take the inactive pills, the level of hormones in your body drops, and you shed the lining of your uterus as a period, if you go for longer than seven days without a pill (like missing one in the week before or after your period), then you significantly increase your chances of ovulating and getting pregnant because the hormone levels aren't high enough to prevent it. Your upset stomach is most probably because of the doubled up pill. You are actually better off missing the missed pill entirely and using a back-up form of contraception for the next seven days.

Yes, you can get pregnant at anytime really! But, right before your period there are generally 3-4 days where you are the most fertile. You should always use a back up method even if you are on the pill, if you really don't want to get pregnant. Especially if you forget one day, you should use a condom. Remember there is still a small percent chance you can get pregnant with the pill.

no
even if you're not on birth control, it is next to impossible to get pregnant while you are on your period. You are most fertile when you are ovulating, which is half way between periods, approximately 12-16 days after the start of your period on a 28 day cycle.

You're right, even when you're 72 there is a chance you could get pregnant, since you never know when your body might eek out that last cycle, and if you've been having sex like a bad girl! you're gonna wind up pregnant! - your mother

It is possible to get pregnant any time. There are no quarantines on birth control & safe sex. How many weeks from your period, over 9-10 days? best of luck & I hope this helped.
