paranoid about being pregnant
ok im young 17 and im on birth control i have sex frequently so at any time and any moment and always a posiblity that i may be or become pregnant. i dont use condoms any more and havnt for a bout half a year. same boyfriend for 2 1/2 years. stick to the question. i dont know if im being pranoid or that i really am pregnant. i hear that while on birth control i could still be pregnant and get my so called period. for two weeks before my period i have had bad cramps. some say ovulating maybe idk. i have had frequent car sickness feelings that come and go. yesterday i was working and i felt like i was going to throw up i felt totally fine the night before and when i came in to work towards the end i was going to puke. i thankfully had enough power to not throw up embarasingly infront of everyone. but when i came back home i laid down still felt sick and RAN to the bathroom and threw up like three times ew. i'm not the one to throw up randomly the last time i really threw up like this was YEARS ago i was 12 im not kidding. on the other hand people could just feel sick then be okay. which happend to me i felt fine after it was a great releaif. i told myself if i feel this way again ill take a pregnacy test but i didnt but then again it comes and goes. idk if im being stupid i have not yet got my period im gonna wait and see its coming in 7 days supposed to and i have been spotting this week but i did forget to take my pill once day this week and have been taking the rest of my pills later at night so that might be why on the other hand if that was the case i would have more brownish blood in my panties i just dont know i dont want to feel stupid i keep telling myslef im not but then again i could be. i have some sighns of pregnancy and same amount of getting my period ugh but how will i know if im going to get it any way because im on the pill i need major advice. calm myself let me know if im being paranoid i havnt told my boyfriend any of this becuase i dont want to be wrong and have worried him. which is annoying.

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
You can take a pregnancy test when you're as much as one day late. So if it doesn't come in eight days, take a test. Based on your info, you have four more days to wait. Try to relax. Take a hot bath, clear your head, maybe go jogging to relieve the stress. Stress does bad things to your body and may mess with your period.
You are experiencing some potential signs of pregnancy, but you don't need to panic yet. Nausea and vomiting have other causes.
If you find out you're pregnant, call your local Planned Parenthood. Contrary to popular belief they're not only an abortion centre, though they do provide that healthcare to those who need it. They offer all kinds of valuable information about all of your options (adoption, parenting, abortion) and how to get the best reproductive care YOU want and YOU decide on (prenatal care, post-abortion counselling, adoption services). Do not call a crisis pregnancy centre. They're run by religious-based organizations and they don't keep information confidential, nor do they offer medical care.
If you find out you're not pregnant, start using condoms. When pills are used perfectly (never missing any, never taking them late) you have a 1 in 1,000 chance of getting pregnant over the course of a year (and you could be that 1 in 1,000). Based on regular use (human error), it can be as high a risk as 3 in 100 women getting pregnant in a year (and you could be one of those 3 in 100). When you use condoms as well, you are managing that risk better because if your pills fail, the condoms likely won't.
Good luck to you.

Hey there,
There is no way to know for sure whether you are pregnant or not... but you do have some signs so I would highly recommend getting a pregnancy test and taking it. If you don't feel comfortable talking to your boyfriend about this right now, then you don't have to right at this moment. You may be having a weird period right now because you are stressed. Your hormones can change when you are stressed, so that could be a reason for the spotting and strange periods. Yet, there is still that chance you could be pregnant, so please go get a pregnancy tester and be sure.
You know your body better than any of us, so if you think something is different (such as the puking) then get it checked out. Do not wait too long if you think you may have even the slight chance of being pregnant. Better to know sooner than later. Trust your gut feeling <3
