If you used a condom and she is on birh control I wouldn't worry about her being pregnant.

She is NOT pregnant. First of all, you do not all of a sudden start having pregnancy symptoms days after having sex. Sometimes it takes a full week for the sperm to even fertilize the egg! Was this the first time you two had sex?
Another thing you may want to consider is that the patch can make her sick. They actually recently recalled the patch because it was causing blood clots & a series of other side effects.
DO NOT BE WORRIED!!! Though condoms are not 100% effective, the fact that you used two forms is pretty safe!
If you and her don't want to get pregnant DON'T HAVE SEX! Abstinence is the only form of birth control that is 100% effective. If you can't handle the possibility of consequences, then think about your actions beforehand, and be prepared to take responsibility for your decisions.

No, it sounds like you guys are kind of young and young girls can have a tendency to want to worry due to lack of knowledge or attention.
I am glad that she is on the patch, but that you are still also using a condom as a back up plan. It gives you some control over the birth control method too. Chances are almost slim to none that you would get her pregnant through two methods of birth control.
Also, if by some off chance she was pregnant it is way too soon for her to having symptoms. Implantation would likely not have even occurred yet, but I don't think you have to worry about that.
Take care and sorry if you are not young, I only assumed this by her remarks, not your question.

No you used double protection. I am on the patch as well more than likely she is about to start her cycle if she just started on the patch her cycle probably has not regulated yet. If she has been on it for a while it is not uncommon to have random stomach achs I get them quite a bit but it is just from food try a tums or gas x ok sounds gross but it really works. Also I have accidently forgot to put my patch back on for a day until the next morning....yes I freaked out...but I was ok. Not that you will always be ok Just make sure you also remind her when to put it on (it is just nice to know someone is thinking of you and she may forget (like me)) Although if the condition worsens see a doctor and also for your piece of mind buy a pregnency test, but wait a week or so until she has a period or should have one.
You are probably just worried you should be fine.
I hope this puts you at ease.

I would keep it in the back of your mind....it might be early still....if you had sex before that it can be from that and it's a possibility...if she misses a period, i would go to the doctor and get a test done....also if she is on birth control, the patch may be irritating her stomach and she might need to switch....i had a lot of problems with birth control....it made me soooo sick and it gave me extremely high blood pressure...also the patch i had an allergic reaction to the glue on it.....well see how long it occurs for and if you hasnt gotten her period, i would get a home Pt test....and a blood test bc they are more accurate and sometimes the pregnancy hormone isnt detected in the stick....good luck...hope she feels better....also it shows you really care bc u are asking for advice on the internet, most guys dont think to ask for help or advice...they panic.... ;P

Honey, the patch and condoms don't always work believe me I should know. I was on the birth control shot and used a condom and still ended up pregnant. Nothing is 100% effective except not doing it. She is having some good signs though but she still needs to wait til she misses her period for atleast a week before either one of you start worrying!!

you probably don't have anything to worry about. She could just be having cramps if she is due for her period soon. If she is NOT due for her period, she should go see her doctor. Sometimes women can get a bladder infection after sex if this was her first time, you tried a new position or if things were rougher than usual. A bladder infection CAN cause stomach discomfort. If that is the case, she needs to get on an antibiotic because, left untreated, the infection could move into her kidneys.

Let me first tell you that you are a very smart young man for using birthcontrol and two forms of it. I hand that to you! Great job.
It does not sound like your gf is pregnant she would not be feeling sick this soon. Maybe she is has caught a bug or just has a guilty feeling for having sex. So don't worry you both need to relax and give it some time.
But if you don't want to go through this again wait and have sex when you get older.

Of course you should be worried! There's no way she would be having symptoms this early but she still could be pregnant. Although you've stated that you used precautions, nothing is absolutely fail-proof but abstinence.
This is the time in your life to be getting an education, playing sports, and having fun with the buddy's - there is time later for adult activities when you are more mature. You certainly don't need an unexpected pregnancy to upset your future.

its too early to get symptoms of pregnancy, the sperm can last a week in the womans body without implanting into the egg. dont worry, she could be havign just a stomach flu or a reaction to the patch. she should call her doctor
