I am 17 years old and I think I am pregnant.! Me and my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex for the last month. I went and go birth control but I don't think it's working.! I am tired I am eating more and I have been having stomach pain. Just last night we were sitting down and he was rubbing my belly and he noticed a lump on the left side of my stomach close to my bell button. And I just started taking birth control on August 5,2012. I have been taking it every day on time except for two days in a row I took it 3 minutes late.! :( can u please tell me if I am pregnant or not
Hello, well it is normal to have side effects from taking birth control pills. Those side effects can include your symptoms, increased appetite and stomach pain. It takes time for your body to adjust to new hormones. You should also keep in mind that birth control is 100% safe a month after you start using it. So you should wait for September 5th in order to be sure that you dont get pregnant. It does not matter if you miss it by the minute, i think its ok if you take it the day you are suppose to or within the same hour each day. From my point of view you are not pregnant but if you want to be sure you should get that home pregnancy test just to be sure. They can tell if you are pregnant or not 2 weeks after you have conceived. My advice is to give it some time so birth control starts working and you will be fine.
