Help! I need advice

I am on birth control, but I take it straight for 7 weeks instead of the normal 3 on and 1 off. So I don't have a normal period every month. My last was the first week of January. Since the beginning of this week, my breasts have been very sore. I know this can be a PMS thing, but I'm still two weeks from my period and I never get sore breasts before my period. I also know that it's one of the early signs of pregnancy. I've also felt slightly sick to my stomach for most of the week. Not throwing up, but just a weird feeling in my tummy. I told my hubby about feeling a little sick and his first response is always "are you pregnant?" :-) Should I take a pregnancy test? Or stop taking bc and see if my period comes? Or do you think the sore breasts are just some weird hormone thing not related to pregnancy?

Thanks!!

Hi there.. it's really hard to say since you're on bcp, b/c that can really make things so dificult to decipher. Can you see if your dr can do a blood test for you? That might show up sooner than a urine test. Plus they'll be able to tell you best if you should stop the pills or not. Good luck with everything... I hope youget the answer you're looking for! Keep us posted!! :)
