I'm worried I might be pregnant. I'm 19, and I've only started having sex a couple weeks ago. It's been every wednesday for the past three weeks, and once this past sunday. Today I woke up with spotting. I don't normally get spotting. The past two days I've been very emotional, crying at almost anything I could. I also have the flu, and I've had it for the past three days as well. I am on birth control, and have been for the past four years. He also wore a condom. Each time. Last week I had forgotten to take the pill the night before but took it that night. Should I worry yet? My period is supposed to come this weekend and the following week, but, Should I wait to see if there are a few more signs before I worry or pick up a home pregnancy test?
spotting can just be from having sex when you're not used to it. the emotions could just be from pms or stress over a new situation. if you've been good about taking your pill and using a condom (even if you just missed one), your odds are not high for being pregnant.
I agree with KC on this one. Some women take months before they can get preggo after going off of the pill.
I don't think you could easily get pregnant like that... Only missing that one day out of 4 years. I mean it should already be engraved into your system. Now, if you miss like one here and there for 4 years, like 2 times each month or something, then maybe you could worry. Then again emotions that high strung could mean you're pregnant. You just never know really... My fiance basically knew i was pregnant before I did. He could tell by my weird motherly-instincts I all of a sudden developed and by my weeping sensitivity. He sort of guessed I probably was. But I kind of doubt you're pregnant... So I wouldn't get too worried about it and stressed, just wait a while and if more symptoms show up and whatnot then go and see. And remember, you can still get pregnant when you have your period. But again, you most likely aren't. Probably just stress.
