i have been on birth control for a about a month and two weeks almost three well im not very good at taking them like at all the other week i forgot to take the pill so i took two the next day. then the other day i was about to take it and the pill dropped and i couldnt find it OF COIURSE! that day me and my boyfriend were having sex and i told him not to cum in me but he did anyway. he almost alawys cums in me by the way. (we just started cuming in me thoug) and even missing the pills i dont take them all at the same time everyday sometimes i forget in the morning or i figure i dont have time and take it when i get home from school or b4 i go to bed. but sometimes i take it regurlary everyday in the morning but that lasts like three days. and i know there are chances of getting pregnant ALWAYS! and the way ive been doing things i have a greater chance of but. what are the sighns and stuff and percentage of getting prego. like the first week of getting prego do you have signs i have been pooping like three times a day now that mean anything!
(pooping about 3 times probably doesn't mean anything related to pregnancy, don't worry. because one of the signs of pregnancy is constipation, actually, the opposite)
Constipation:
Constipation is another common early symptom of pregnancy. An increase in progesterone causes food to pass more slowly through the intestines, which can lead to constipation.
Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.
Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.
Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period.
Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.
Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.
Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.
Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.
Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.
Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.
Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.
Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.
Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.
Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.
Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.
Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.
Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.
sobeg answered Wednesday October 28 2009, 3:24 pm: Wel there is a slight chance you may not be pregnant. Im sure you understand why its so important to take your birth control pill every day on schedule. The first thing you both need to do is get 1. sex ed. 2. Get on the same mentality 3. find the best method that will fit your needs.
Sex education is extremeley important not only to prevent unwanted pregnancy or health risk but also to really think about the choice you will be making that will require you to be Resposible. Sex Is a resposibility. 2. same mentality is important if he isnt on the same level as you are then you are going to get pregnant like it or not so you need to tell yourself im i really ready for this? second you need to also think to yourself is he the guy i want to get me pregnant? if no is the answer get him to work with you on this or dont have sex with him or consider the thought that maybe the relatioship isnt going to work out...i kno you might get mad at me for saying that but hear my reason.. if you base your relationship on sex and not on anything else then girl there are guy out ther that can provide the sex and the whole deal so do think into that. 3. find the best method to help you be as much as resposible as possible. I have said it before there are other type of contraceptives out there if you are worried about pregnancy such examples as A. The Nuva ring which you or him insert into your vagina nearest to your uterus it is left iside your body for 30 days pull out the old one and insert a new one and after 90 days give your body a rest period not a bad way at all insert and forget about it and no pills and very discrete. B. Contraceptive gel its basically like a lubricant but it is recommended to insert an applicator into your vagina and apply the gel on your uterus the down side to this is that for every intercourse you need apply it and just applying the lube on his penis is not enough and you will need to carry the lube around with you. C. contraceptive film/ Vaginal deposotory both need to be inserted into your vagina and there is a waiting period to allow the contraceptive to flow downside is that you need to use this every time you have sex and carry it with you. D. Foam the foam is not that bad but there have been many stories out there that i dont really talk much about the foam. E. Vaccine/shot this method is very popular but has its downsides too once a dosage has been given there is no reversal until the time period makes it wear off meaning if you feel nausea or dizzy or feel like your on your period its pretty much going to be that way until the schedulled dosage so if it is good for 1 month your stuck with all of those feelings into the end of the month. And the #1 contraceptive is NO SEX!!. with what ever method you want to go with understand this it is not recommended to "cum" inside the vagina the method " pull out" is the best method that will work the best with all of the mentioned methods as for as i know. I kknow many many many couples really I mean really like IUD's but thats only recommended for women who had already given birth it is very VERY accurate in preventing pregnancy. Always ask you medical professional for any and all health concern advice. I hope this helps if it doesnt tell me dont miss grade me bacause i didnt tell you what you wanted to hear..ok?? =) [ sobeg's advice column | Ask sobeg A Question ]

Not taking the pill at the same time everyday can be dangerous to your health PLUS it makes the pill less effective.
Sex is for mature people who can handle the responsibility of birth control. If you can't handle taking the pill the same time every day, when not taking it could alter you life forever, then I think you should take a quiet moment and reflect.
Shape up, act more responsibly. I am not telling you don't have sex. Have it if you want. But if you can't even be responsible enough to take a tiny little pill every day at the same time, how are you going to handle a child? Because the chances of it happening in your situation are very high. And it would be YOUR fault, because YOU were irresponsible about the pill. It wouldn't be because of a broken condom, which really constitutes an accident. You have the opportunity to protect yourself from pregnancy and YOU are screwing it up.
If you want to have sex, get yourself into a routine of taking the pill AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY. I say that in capitols, not because I am yelling at you, but because I want the message to stick.
Also, referring to it as "prego" and "getting prego" doesn't help your case much either.
Get yourself to a doctor. Ask for helpful hints on how to take birth control pills. Don't take any more or have sex until you see that doctor.
solidadvice4teens answered Tuesday October 27 2009, 8:06 pm: Your birth control pills are utterly useless to protect you from anything anymore. Once they are missed this often that's it.
It doesn't matter if your boyfriend ejaculates as precum contains more then enough sperm to make you pregnant. Don't jump to conclusions but if you think you may be pregnant find out for sure.
If you aren't then I recommend you get on NuVa ring. You don't need to remember to take pills at the exact same time daily. This is a small ring that fits into the vagina monthly that sends out the right chemical that kills sperm. It doesn't hurt. Look them up on Google and see if it's for you.

orphans answered Tuesday October 27 2009, 4:16 pm: i dont think you can tell during the first week. I think you may be able to tell only after three weeks. heres an article from:
The Most Important Very Early Signs of Pregnancy - at 3 Weeks Pregnant -
The initial symptoms of pregnancy are so widely known that in most instances you, as the prospective mother, make the diagnosis yourself shortly after conception has taken place.
Some pregnancy signs and symptoms appear when you are only 3 weeks pregnant. On the other hand, you might suspect that you are pregnant when you are not, because these symptoms could be associated with other conditions as well. Likewise, you can be pregnant without experiencing any of these symptoms.
The signs of pregnancy may be classified according to their reliability - presumptive, probable, and positive. The very early pregnancy signs and symptoms are presumptive signs, and doubtful evidence regarding your pregnancy. The last, which is positive signs of pregnancy, are infallible proof that you are pregnant. Therefore, you should not be surprised when your pregnancy signs become positive, after your suspicions were first aroused.
The earliest pregnancy symptoms include abdominal cramping that feels like menstrual cramps. This cramping is not, however, associated with menstrual bleeding. Instead of that, you might experience light vaginal spotting or mucus discharge. This very light bleeding occurs a bit earlier than your expected normal periods. The spotting is lighter in color than the normal menstrual blood, and doesn't last as long either. These earliest signs of pregnancy -- abdominal cramping and spotting -- are also known as implantation symptoms of pregnancy.
Increased need to urinate is a common early sign of pregnancy that occurs shortly after conception, and prevails for several weeks. Some pregnant women may also have difficulty in urination, and a few may experience discomforts with it. The reason for the need to empty the bladder frequently may be connected with the changes in the reproductive organs after pregnancy has become established. The supply of blood is increased to all the organs concerned with the reproductive process, shortly after conception. Partly because of this congestion, and partly because of the embryonic development, the uterus becomes altered in a number of ways. These early changes may irritate the bladder causing the increased need to urinate. All the bladder symptoms gradually disappear by the fourth month, but become prominent again towards the end of pregnancy.
The failure of menstruation to appear, when it is expected, is almost always a symptom of pregnancy. This early sign of pregnancy is the one that most commonly attracts attention. As a rule, when this happens to a healthy woman during her childbearing years -- which usually extends from the fifteenth to the forty-fifth year -- it indicates pregnancy. But there are exceptions to this very good rule. Besides pregnancy, several conditions cause temporary suppression of menstruation. Diseases of the womb may interfere with the menstrual process. Menstruation is also influenced by certain ovary conditions. In addition to a busy lifestyle or major lifestyle changes, excessive dieting or exercise as well as weight gain or cessation of oral contraceptives, may interrupt the regular appearance of the menstrual cycle. Emotional turmoil and grief, and strong fear or hope for pregnancy, may cause the absence of menstrual periods.
It is doubtful whether menstruation ever continues after conception. Instances in which the menstrual function is believed to persist are not uncommon. In most cases it is a sign that there is some danger of miscarriage. Since miscarriage often occurs about the same time that a menstrual period is expected, there is a probability for confusing the symptoms. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
lusingrip101 answered Tuesday October 27 2009, 8:50 am: you can google pregnancy symptons.... the most common one is morning sickness but there are many others like missing a period. unfortunately due to the fact your cycle is probably messed up because of the birth control being taken so irregularly you cant really depend on your period to tell you if your late or not. and there is a good chance you could be pregant since youve been taking your birth control so irregularly but the only way to know for sure is for your doctor to do a pregnancy test. you should switch to another method of birth control too. like the nuva ring or the patch or something similiar that you only have to worry about once a month. i have the same problem with remembering to take the pill go i switched.
hope i helped and good luck with everything!!

laynemayhem answered Monday October 26 2009, 6:31 pm: you wouldnt have pregnancy signs after just a week. from what i know, you probably wouldnt start having signs until the 5th or 6th week, besides not having a period. and one of the other signs to look for is tender breasts. also, as far as i know, pooping 3 times a day is not natural, but i dont think its a sign of pregnancy. peeing a lot is, though. like getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
with the condom, there is an 85% chance that you wont get pregnant. on the pill, there is a 99-99.9% chance you wont get pregnant. as you can see, the pill is more affective.
but i have good news for you. i dont think you'll get pregnant from missing a few days of the pill. what i would do if i were you is make a calendar on my cell phone. on the calendar, set an alarm that will go off everytime you need to take your pill. and if that doesnt work for you, stock up on plan B pills. you can get them at any drugstore. they're just like BC, but instead of taking them everyday, you just take them the morning after you have unprotected sex, (they are also called "morning after pills", for this reason) if you know you've missed a day from the pill and you had sex, just take the morning after pill when you wake up the next morning. i'm not sure how much they cost. anyways, i hope i've helped you. :)
