I posted a post (haha) not too long ago. The one about me being on the pill and having sex with my boyfriend about 4 times in one day but he never ejaculated inside of me, it even took a while to get him to ejaculate after he was outside of my body. What my real deal is that this all happened 4 days ago and ever since then, my boyfriend has penetrated me once a day with no ejaculation whatsoever. My stomach has been feeling yucky (kind of like cramps and constipation at the same time) and I was wondering if this could be a sign of pregnancy. I thought I read somewhere that you won't notice any symptoms right away or at least not during the first week. Ms. Scarlet told me I had a very very minimal pregnancy risk when I brought this up to her but I'm still not conviced. Is this a coincidence or could I be pregnant?

There's no way to tell from symptoms. It could be anything. Go buy a pregnancy test, that is the only way you are going to know if you're pregnant.

In the future why not try using condoms or so you don't have to worry about pregnancy.

You read right:

You will NOT notice, or have any types of symptoms of hints that you are pregnancy until you are at least 2-3 months into the pregnancy. It is very rare for signs to show up before that, especially in the time period you are talking about.

Do what celery said: take a pregnancy test, and next time, to avoid a mess and a scare, use a condom.

If you're taking the pill consistently and correctly, then your risk is very low anyway.

However, we always advise using condoms as well, for contraceptive back-up and STD protection.

Don't sound so sure, Jamsession. I got "morning sickness", that lasted for a while, while I was only a couple weeks pregnant. It IS possible.

But then again, people should realize that "symptoms" are no way to "diagnose" pregnancy.

Is there an incorrect way to take the pill? I don't smoke and I take it right when I wake up which is about 7:30 during the summer but I will have to start taking it around 6:30 during the school year. Is that going to make it less effective?

That time difference shouldn't be a problem. But, taking a pill at widely varied times, taking it with antibiotics, or taking it when you're vomiting can cause it to be less effective, just as quick examples.
