 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

what do you mean, nausea in your nose?
basically i feel like I have weird cramping.. a lot.. I had it last night- and then at about 1130/12 in the afternoon today.
Almost like dirrhea pains mixed with menstrual cramps (sorry to be graphic).. I'm stopping my hormone pills and taking sugar pills today to hopefully have my period by friday night/saturday morning.

It's the only way to describe it. It was like the nausea was centering in my nose and sinuses instead of in my gut. Very strange. Very unpleasant, too.

No cramping, in my case.

Mind, what queensugar said -- HBC has various funky side effects, and condoms + the pills are unlikely to result in pregnancy. (I use condoms alone, and the only time there was an actual pregnancy was when we dispensed with any contraception at all.)

I fear that I'm going to be kind of annoying here, though -- google up decidual bleeding. I had light bleeding for around 3 months of my pregnancy that mimicked a very, very light, spotty "period." In your case? You're probably just reacting to the pills, or have a stomach bug. But in general, a pregnancy test or a really heavy period is the only way to be sure. (I've heard there are pregnancy tests at Dollar Stores, that are just as good as the more expensive ones.)

Also note that if you don't take 21 days of active pills, your protection will be compromised. Use back-up protection (such as the condoms you're already using, heh!) for your period week, and for 7 days after starting your next pack.

Luck!
