I think I might be pregnant
I think I might be pregnant. My periods are very screwy (I have one about every 4 to 6 months) and I just recently went to my gyno so she could put me on birth control to straighten them out. I have been taking the pill for 3 weeks now and I have been feeling sick all the time and my breasts have been sore. I have no idea whats going on. we've had a history of breast cancer in my family too but I don't think thats it because I'm only 16 years old. I know that the pill makes you sick the first month or so you take it, but theres a possibility I could be pregnant.

yeah birth control makes you nauseous the first 3 months.
If you want to know an exact answer if you're prego or not.. just take a pregnancy test.

Well, it actually sounds a lot like symptoms you can get from new birth control.
My concern is the getting a period every 4-6 months. Did your gyn do any tests to find out what might be the cause of that? An ultrasound should probably be done to check for polycystic ovary syndrome or other internal problems. Bloodwork should also be done. In addition to finding out what is wrong with your periods, those can also let you know if you are pregnant. Did you tell her there is a possibility of being pregnant? If so, she should have done a test before putting you on pills.
Anyway, if you are really concerned, get a pregnancy test to be really sure. Otherwise, if you are still feeling sick for another week or so, call the gyn and let her know. Yes, birth control can make you feel sick in a similar way to pregnancy, but it shouldn't continue to make you sick for too long. There are all sorts of birth control pills and other hormone options that can straighten out your periods. The trick is to find the one that works for you and doesn't make you miserable.
