Birth Control/Possibly pregnant?

Question
I'm a 19 year old female. I've been on birth control almost 4 years now. I
became sexually active at 18. I just started a new pack of pills this past
sunday and I haven't missed any. I had my period on the last week of my last
pack, the same as I normally do. Lately this week, I've been feeling a little
nauseous on and off. I am unsure if I could be pregnant or not. If you could
give me some advice, that would be fantastic.
Hi Samantha,
Thanks for your question. I'm not a doctor so I always recommend that you consult with your own physician. It is possible that you could be pregnant if you have had sex during this time period. Do you have any other symptoms besides the nausea. Let me know. When you miss your period, you can take a pregnancy test. A good place to get one and free is a local pregnancy center. You can find one at http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If you can't find a center on there, try this website

Please email me privately at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so we can talk more.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
