On the pill, but could i be pregnant?

[xxtigerlilyxx]

I've been taking dianette for nearly a year.
3 "packets"ago i had sickeness/diaherrea in the last week of my packet so went straight through into the new packetand didnt have a period as advised to in the information leaflet. Then after that packet (2 weeks ago now) i expected quite a heavy period (as hadnt bleed in two months) but it was lighter/shorter than normal.
For the last 2 weeksi v been feeling nausea and faint/lightheaded. In the last week and last couple of espcially iv actually been vomitting and the thought of food makes my stomach churn. A friend suggested this could be morning sickness.
Could i be pregnant?

HI!
t looks like most of the respondents have advised you to take a pregnancy test.  That is excellent advise.  I doubt that you are pregnant however.  It is OK to take the pills that way.  In fact, that is what brands like Seasonique and Lybrel do to help people skip their period on purpose,  The nice thing about pills is that you don't have to "pay" for the missed period by having a whopper one at the end of the second month.  Its OK if its light.  As long as you are not skipping pills that are not placebos, you should be OK.

Good luck!

I would recommend taking a HPT...If it comes back Neg, then you might want to talk to your doctor about your pills. I had to change my pills because they were making me sick. Good Luck!!!

Yes take a home pregnancy test!! cuz if you are pregnant you need to stop your birth control pills right away!  you dont have to buy a expensive one the dollar ones work great!!

it is possible for you to be pregnant, though unlikely if you are on the pill and takin them correctly. the best thing to do is take a home pregnancy test. if it is negative and you still feel sick, you should see your dcotor, you can very well be coming down with a virus or the pills can be making you sick as well. good luck and take care.
