**Very Long Post, Sorry. :\**
First off, I'm on birth control..the Ortho-Evra patch, to be exact, and I've been on it since June. I've been using it, by the directions, and I've never forgot to change it or put it on. My boyfriend and I have sex occassionally, 95% of the time it's protected sex.
In September, my period was very light and late...just like spotting...no clots or anything. I had all the cramping, sore breasts, fatigue, light nausea. Last month (after my period) I was also in a very bad car accident, and I've been on medicines like Motrin, Vicodin, and muscle relaxers. I had sex w/ my boyfriend both protected and unprotected that month.
This month my period was late again (10/12), but I had no symptoms of any kind at all. It was also light like the last one. After it went off, I felt really tired and threw up 5 times (that was Monday). I went to the doctor the next day, they didn't do a pregnancy test because my period had just went off, but they gave me a shot that they said would help calm my stomach, but they never told me what the problem was. They also gave me another pill for nausea and told me to get some rest, and go back to work on Thursday. *had sex w/ boyfriend...protected and unprotected**
I slept the entire day on Tuesday after my appointment, and the entire day Wednesday, and still felt tired on Thursday. I went to work, and I felt nauseous, so I just sat down and took it easy. Then on Friday, at work, I felt really tired, and dizzy, and then that nauseous feeling came back, so I drank ginger ale and ate pretzels, but I still felt kind of sick. Saturday (today), I slept until 2 p.m. and I still felt tired. Then after time, I started to feel nauseous again...and I'm still feeling that way now.
I told my mom about my period, she asked if I was pregnant, I said no. Then when I was sick, she, my sister, brother, and coworkers all questioned if I was pregnant. Some people say that you get a dark line under your navel...I recently discovered one. I've been gaining weight and my stomach is getting a little round and kind of hard.
Just wondering...is there a possibility that the medication counteracted with my birth control? Is there a possibility that I could be pregnant at all? I think I just have a virus or something, but everyone else is convinced otherwise. Help?

Hi there...
What you're describing definitely sounds like early pg symptoms, but you said you've been in a major car acccident and since on a lot of meds, which can do funky things to your body. I know when I've been on the same kinds of pills before they would make me physically ill. I think in your situation, you really should try taking a home pregnancy test... that's the surest way to find out one way or another.
Good luck! I hope you get the answer you're looking for... keep us posted on how you're doing too... :)
