 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

i hope i'm just being crazy... i should be... but a part of me is just like "your body would know itself..." but who knows right

Well, as to your body "knowing" it's pregnant -- there are cases of women having no idea they're pregnant until they're delivering unexpectedly, so I wouldn't say that it's necessarily true that your body will give you totally clear signs that you're pregnant. While side effects of BC are most common in the first 3 months, when I first started NuvaRing I still had headaches from it 5-6 months into using it. It's possible the sore boobs are just a PMS symptom from the birth control. As for cramping and pain, those aren't morning sickness. Some women do experience cramping during pregnancy, but that's separate from morning sickness. Morning sickness consists of nausea and vomiting, often triggered by smells that never used to bother the woman before, or by having an empty stomach. Cramping could be PMS as well.

If you were using your pills perfectly, your chance of getting pregnant is less than 1%. Using condoms perfectly on top of that means it would be almost impossible to get pregnant. If you did miss some pills or take some late, that could boost your chance of getting pregnant, but if you were still using condoms correctly, then it's still extremely unlikely you'd be pregnant.

Yeah, my aunt didn't know she was pregnant until she was 6 months into it.

Furthermore, I think it's only 20% of women actually experience morning sickness, which is why things like what happened to my aunt happen.
