The past three nights, I have gotten sick. I all of a sudden get really nauseous and need to throw up. Im asking if I am pregnant because I know that a lot of women actually get 'morning sickness' at night (my mother did with me and my brother). I am on birth control, but last week when I had sex with my boyfriend I was also on antibiotics which I know lower the effectiveness of birth control. I was just wondering what everyone thinks the chances of my being pregnant are. Im supposed to get my period in the next four days. Thanks for the help!

I'm not a doctor and wouldn't want to tell you for absolute certain that you aren't pregnant. I HAVE read in several different places that studies have shown antibiotics no longer make birth control ineffective. Yet, I worked with a doctor who would still give the warning on the side of safety to use
another form of birth control as well while on them.
Its possible you are, but I'm gonna say the chances are small. This time of year I suffer night nausea myself because of allergies & sinus problems. There could be another explanation for the nausea.
If your period doesn't come in a week or so, take a home test. Remember stress can make you late or cause you to skip a period. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

All you can do is wait for your period to come, and if it doesn't, take a pregnancy test. And next time, when you know something is gonna make your birth control less effective, use a back-up method.
