Unlikely or possibly pregnant?

Question

My girlfriend and I are very careful. I use contraception and she is on the pill, but sometimes (once or twice) we do not use a condom. The most recent time was – I think – about a month or a month and a half ago.

About a week and a half ago, she had her period. She had taken two consecutive months’ of contraceptive pill and had all the usual symptons: period pains, grumpiness and then, the period. Since the period her mood has stabilised, her boobs aren’t so tender and have got smaller and the period pain went, as usual.

At the weekend, a few days later, my girlfriend was very ill and had the flu: fever, shiverring, cold, runny nose and she was also sick (vomiting once) after feeling a little nauseous. She spent the day off work, in bed and made a recovery.

Today and yesterday she advises that she is feeling better but that she has pains in her stomach (like digestive pains) which are worse immediately after she eats something.

I’m worried about her and think she should see the doctor, but she doesn’t want to worry them and says that she is better today than yesterday, but I’m worried that there is a possibility she could be pregnant? I think it’s highly unlikely as she has had her period, but is it still possible? She is losing weight rather than gaining weight, boobs are not tender and are shrinking and it has been quite a while since we had unprotected sex (she was on the pill still at the time).

Any ideas? I’m thinking she may simply be suffering from flu or norovirus, but I’m just a bit concerned!

Don’t worry. It sounds like your gf just has the flu. You guys are protecting yourselves very well, and she had her period, so the chances are very unlikely. good luck.

this doesnt sound like pregnancy. it sounds like a virus.
if she is on the pill she is not ovulating so she most likely can not have conceived. she has already had a period which indicates that she most likely is not pregnant.
take her to the doctor she needs medical care whether she is pregnant or just sick.
we on yahoo can only offer opinions, and she ought to be seen by a medically qualified person who can better answer your concerns.

good luck

There is a good possibility she isnt but also remember that birth control pills are not 100% effective when it comes to pregnancy. After a while the female body gets used to the pills and the possibilities of pregnancy may increase. If anything I would recommend you to buy a pregnancy test. If your girlfriend is not willing to go to the doctor that is your next best option. Beware that birth control pills also cause effects such as the ones you are stating above. In many girls there may be a weight increase or loss. It varies. Good luck
