 I feel really dumb asking this, but how quickly after becoming pregnant, do the sore boobs and morning sickness come?
And what does this morning sickness feel like? I've got cramping, and pain but not so much nausea..

I'm probably freaking over nothing... As far as I can remember, I've been taking my pill on time, and I use a condom every time, but my boobs are sore and I'm feeling funny.. and somethings nagging in me like.. "maybe"

I didn't know where to look to find these answers... I couldn't find my way around the PP website if I tried.. I'm really sorry if this is obvious.. It's my first post here

If you were pregnant and genuinely experiencing pregnancy symptoms, which are caused by hCG, that would generally mean there would be enough hCG in the blood to detect on a pregnancy test.

That said, I agree fully with [livejournal.com profile] loonylupinlover that the symptoms you describe are also potential side effects of hormonal birth control, and that between using condoms and HBC your chances of being pregnant are unbelievably remote.

I crunched some numbers once and found that the chances of becoming pregnant using both of those methods correctly is something like 1 in 50,000 over the course of a year... potentially even less.
