Anyone get pregnant on the pill?

I was wondering if anyone here has ever gotten pregnant while on the pill? I switched to a low dose BCP 2.5 months ago. Before that, I was off BCP's for 3 months with regular periods. The 1st month I started the BCP, I didn't wait until my period started to start taking it because my period was late, and I didn't want to wait. Well, it showed up 1 wk into the 1st pack and was very heavy and a lot longer than usual. When it was time for the sugar pills, I didn't have a period at all, which didn't surprise me much since I'd just had one a week or so before. With the 2nd pack, I started it 4 days late (so a total of 11 days w/o the pill). During the 2nd pack's sugar pills, I had a period but it was lighter and shorter than usual. I thought this was because of the new BCP. That was July 27 that it started. It is now 8/15 and for the past week, I've been nauseated off and on with a slight temp. My nipples are VERY sore and sensitive, and I am also very emotional. A HPT on 8/10 was neg. as was a urine test at the doctor on 8/12. However, I can't shake the feeling of being pg. I've never had symptoms in the middle of my cycle before. Sorry this is so long but I was wondering what everyone thinks? My doctor won't do a blood test until I miss my period, but I have heard of having it even while pg, and since I am on BCP, maybe that is causing it?

Well i got pregnant of the pills and i missed my perid so you will miss it if you are, second the pills can make you think you are pregnant and since you just started takeing them its going to take awhile for them to get into you're body the sypmtoms will go away in about 3months. Like the doctor said its best to wait till you're missed peirod.
