I’ve been on birth control pills for proabably about 1 year and a half and have taken it on time everyday except for a couple times it was about 40 minutes past the regular time. My boyfriend and I use condoms as well the majority of the time. I had my period on time exactly (3rd placebo) this month. Lately I’ve been feeling a lot of stomach pain and nausea…and this week my breasts started feeling heavy and full…they don’t hurt though. I’ve been very stressed out lately (not sure if that makes a difference)…is it possible I could be pregnant? Or what else could it be?

Unfortunately, birth control pills are not 100% effective even if you are using them perfectly so pregnancy is possible. However, your symptoms may be related to your increased stress level or some type of illness. Since you have been taking your pills so carefully and using condoms as well, pregnancy is extremely unlikely. Keep taking your pills as directed. If you skip your next period, take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, repeat the test every two weeks until you either have a normal period or a positive test result. Do not stop taking your birth control pills unless you test positive for pregnancy. Good luck!
