I am recently new to this discussion and I am a little nervous about writing about this but I need some advice. I have been on birth control since December 24th. My boyfriend and I have been intimate many times since then. For awhile, we used condoms. On the firstday of my period last month, May2, we had sex without a condom for the first time. Since then, we have been having sex frequently without a condom. However, he always pulls out. I do know that I can still get pregnant. However, I have hypothyroidism and I have not been taking my pill for the hypothyroidism for over a month now. During the past two weeks, I have been extremely tired and I have been nausus (did I spell that right?) for about a week now. I didn't even want my porter house steak on Sunday, one of the best pieces of meat you can buy! It turned me off. Last night I had trouble eating my hamburger or even finishing dinner. I thought it was stress until last Thursday, I had some brown discharge. It lasted for about a day and ended. After my boyfriend and I were intimiate on Monday night, I had some light pink blood, probably from being intimate I am sure. I am supposed to get my period on Saturday or Sunday. I have had some cramps but not "normal" period cramps. just tight. My boyfriend

You mention that you've been on birth control.

Hello, I just wanted to let you know, I've been searching for answers myself. But if you have been taking your pills consistently every day and didn't miss any, you may not be pregnant. Unfortunately, contraceptives are not 100%. If you did miss some pills, there is a good chance you could be pregnant. I hope this helps.

Just an update, I am still waiting for my period to show up. I am a day late now, I was supposed to get it yesterday. The nausausness continues, as well as the tiredness. I am getting more and more distressed, especially since I continuesly think about the brown discharge I had ten days ago. I have all the symptoms but I have been taking my pills regularly! To be honest, I am really just scared right now. Keep your fingers crossed that it shows up soon!
