Well, i have been on birth control for about 7 years now, and my boyfriend and i do not use condoms. I have recently gained a bit of weight approximately ten pounds, and have not changed my eating habits. but i still cannot seem to get full. my tummy is starting to stick out a little bit but do not know if i am just gaining weight. i had my period about 2 weeks ago but i heard you can still get your period if you are pregnant. I am going away for the weekend and will be drinking. is there anyway i can take a pregnancy test now even though i had just recently had my period? well i know i can but will it work if i am still menstrating and how do i find out?

The likelihood of being pregnant and still having periods that have not changed from what's normal for you is very very small.
