pregnancy on the pill???

I just had a baby in January, and I was put on the pill Yasmin. I've had a regular monthly period since then, but for some reason, it comes on my third week of my active pills. So, during the week that I'm on my inactive pills, I'm not on my period....and I'm ovulating. My question is, can I still get pregnant even though I'm still taking my pill religiously every day. I'm just not having my period during the week I should be having it.

And now, I ended my period a week ago, and since then I've felt nausous, tired, and have had really bad head aches. Today, I started spotting with a little cramping. I'm scared I might be pregnant again, and I'm currently uninsured, so I can't see my doctor. I took a pregnancy test, and it's negative, but it's also probably too early to tell.

Any advice??

One thing that I would say first, is that it is a possibility that it is your birth control creating those symptoms. I am on Yasmin as well, On my 4th package. Before I started this one, I was on a different kind, that seriously convinced me that I was pregnant. I had every symptom that you could imagine. For 3 weeks, I thougth I was pregnant. And it turned out to be my bc.So I had to switch to the Yasmin. Which still makes me feel a little nauseaus, but not as bad. Good Luck to you.

I'm on my first month of Yasmin and was on a different pill before. I haven't been feeling sick from the pill recently. I felt nautious during the first week of the pill. I had sex with someone during my most fertile time (the last week) and I missed a pill during the second week (I think) and so I was always a pill behind? I always just took one pill after that and never doubled up. I have been feeling very nautious recently and since he didn't use a condom (and I didn't take the pill the day before since I was out all night before the morning we had sex) I do not know if I am pregnant or not. I've been feeling extremely exhausted and dizzy and sick to my stomach and my stomach has been hurting me a lot and feeling weird. I'm also going to the bathroom a lot! Also, I've felt lots of soreness in my breasts and very tender. Could it be or am I overreacting?? Please let me know. Thanks!!
