Help! Am I pregnant?! This is basically what I want to find out... Could you guys please help me?

I have been taking "the pill" for a month now. I have been sexually active while on it, and a few weeks prior to taking "the pill". My partner and I use condoms. Although when we try to jumpstart the moment, he does not put it on for the first couple of minutes. When he feels that he might ejaculate already, then he puts it on.

This month, I went through some changes. My breasts are bigger, heavier and tender, my appetite increased and I feel like vomiting sometimes, but I never end up doing so. I did get a light spotting earlier than my scheduled period, but it continued to become heavier in flow just like a normal period (but the heavy flow only lasted for two days).

I never missed a pill -- although there were a couple times where I took it an hour later than usual.

Could I be pregnant?

It is very difficult to tell because you do say that you had AF but only for a couple of days. Some pregnancy symptoms you mention could be associated with the pill (hormones) though, as well. I would wait a few days and test but keeping in mind first cycles on the pill are as irregular as first cycles off the pill. If you take the pill everyday, even if a few hours off, you should be safe but nothing is 100%. If your symptoms increase and you are sure you might be pregnant, I would test or call my doctor.

Good luck!

Hi1 Just some info for you. This method of trying NOT to conceive doesn't always work because there is some semen in the pre-ejactulatory liquid. You need to have the comdom on the whole time!! Also, I might have misunderstood, but if you just started the pill last month, it's possible that it hasn't kicked in yet!! Definitely do a test tommorow morning. Good Luck and if you are not, be much more careful next time if you do not want a BABY!!!!!!!!!
