I am 17 years old and on birth control. My last period lasted about 4-5 days with mild bleeding. I had intercourse about 2 days before that period started,yes I am on the pill but he used a condom just minutes before he came, and a week later I was sick to my stomach for 24 hours only on one day which consisted of vomiting constantly and one bowel movement. I haven't had one since but I have been cramping like I should be on my period but I'm not supposed to start for another 2 weeks. What could be wrong?

You were told using the Pill AND a condom is still not 100% effective for preventing pregnancy... we have several people here that have gotten pregnant doing both, and one was using three forms of birth control.

If its been a month... I suggest taking a Home pregnancy test to eliminate that possibility. And perhaps an appointment with your Gynecologist is in order.

Its not unusual to need a periodic adjustment on your Birth control due to side effects.

About 19 days ago me and my boyfriend had sex with and without a condom but when he came he had the condom on. 2 days later I started my period (25th) and it ended on the 29th. 2 days after my period stopped I got really sick including vomiting and a painful bowel movement but the sickness only lasted 24 hours. Being that day I was sick only would have been a week exactly from the day we had sex. About the 5th (a few days ago) I started having cramps and really bad headaches. Today ( the 8th) they've slowed down and I can't feel them anymore but at some points I can but they go away real quick. Im not tired all the time and I don't feel sick to my stomach until I eat. I'm on birth control but sometimes I forget to take them one day and take them the next morning along with that days pill. Once I got back home (the 5th) we had sex again and that's when my cramping started. I don't know why I'm cramping and I have an appointment with my OBGYN on this coming Tuesday I just wanted a second opinion. What's going on with me?

Impossible to say without knowledge of your medical history and an examination.

Your first post was more detailed. I read it, posted, and it disappeared.

In the first post you stated that he was only wearing the condom in the beginning. You also stated that you don't always remember to take your pill, and often miss a day, doubling up the next day.

This info is important. Have you changed your mind about this info, or just don't want to admit that you could be pregnant and it may be due to negligence using the birth control you've opted to use?

Alty · Aug 8, 2012, 02:10 PM

Ah, never mind. I see your other post was merged with this one.

If he was not wearing the condom the entire time, plenty of sperm in the early fluids,
And condoms have a 3 to 10 percent failure rate .anyway

Birth control pills are not 100 percent either, and if you miss any at all, they are less effective.

So yes of course you could be, even sounds like you don't care or want to be, since you are not properly using any of the protection

--- he wasn't wearing the condom in the beginning... he never does but always puts one on about the middle of everything. Yes I did say that I don't always remember to take my pill and I do sometimes more than I should double up the next day. I honestly have no idea if I'm pregnant or not that's why I asked on here. The birth control I AM using isn't by my choice but my parents and that's what I've always taken. I only miss days when Im home late or to busy with school and work and I just forget. It happens and now it could lead to something more. Yes it is my fault as well as his I just wanted a second opinion.

So you are actually TRYING to get pregnant then? Miss the wrong pill and you effectively have no protection the next month. Or significantly LESS protection.

Why bother putting a condom on halfway through the act? That's like setting yourself only halfway on fire figuring that's better than not setting yourself on fire at all. Once you strike the match and start the fire... its already too late to stop the damage.

---No I am not TRYING to get pregnant.. I just forget. I have a lot going on daily and don't always remember. It happens and people forget things. No they probably shouldn't forget things like THAT but some do. I realize that missing the wrong pill or not doing what we should to protect ourselves isn't this smartest thing to do. I get that but that's not going to help me remember my pill.

No... people don't forget things... I'm 50, I never "forgot" to put on a condom. My wife for the last 20 years never "Forgot" to take her pill every morning.

You find a routine and stick to it... EVERY day. Without fail. Like take it before you have breakfast every morning. Before you START ANYTHING to distract you.

And at 17... you don't even begin to grasp what "A lot going on" is like yet... It gets a LOT more hectic when you actually have to live on your own and have a full time job, Have a kid or two and multiply even THAT amount. Have one unwed and have him take off.. and it gets even harder yet.

Fr_Chuck · Aug 8, 2012, 02:55 PM

You think you have a lot going on now ? Add a baby, 2 and 4 am feedings, dirty diapers and most likely a boy friend who has disappeared.

If you miss a pill, don't do sex for a month, if he unzips his pants, put a condom on it, or not let him enter.

If he refuses, ask him to start thinking of baby names, help remind him of why

Here's your second opinion.

If he doesn't wear a condom in the beginning, you're trying to conceive. There's plenty of sperm in pre-ejaculate to get the job done. If you don't take your pill regularly, at the same time every day, and miss days, you're trying to conceive.

So, could you be pregnant? Yes. It's very possible.

Are you? There's no way for anyone on the internet to tell you. You'll have to wait and see, like very other woman on the face of this Earth.
