Check the side effects that come with it, and what the failure rate is. Sometimes at-home tests aren't very good and can come out negative if it doesn't detect enough hormones, although it is EXTREMELY rare to have a false positive, and in most cases that's due to Birth Control (ie, Implanon). If after a few weeks you still think you may be pregnant, I'd go into a clinic and have them take some tests. If it's negative, but you still have a lot of unwanted side effects, I'd try a different birth control.

A pregnancy test on birth control will be accurate and probably negative. Birth control gives you pregnancy-type symptoms but if you have not taken your pills correctly or have been taking abtibiotics which may reduce their effectiveness take a pregnancy test.
This is what you would expect to occur; but there are slight chances to become pregnant even when taking the pill.
If you're not taking the pill, it's always possible to get pregnant, fake symptoms or not.
if you have had unprotected sex recently even if you are on birth control you could be pregnant. i suggest taking a pregnancy test :)
Well if you have taken a home-pregnancy test and it is positive then yes, you should stop. But you should not take the pregnancy test until at least the day of your expected period or 14 days after intercourse other wise your results will not likely be accurate. If you do get a positive pregnancy test then go ahead and stop taking your birth control and make an appointment with an OB/GYN. If the test is negative, continue taking your birth control pills until you do get a positive pregnancy test. If you stop taking it before you get the test results and it is negative, your chances of pregnancy are heightened greatly. But if you continue taking it until you get a positive test result, you will not have had enough to cause any harm to the baby.
Birth control GIVES you pregnancy symptoms. If she thinks she is pregnant she shouldn't be taking birth control any more and should see her doctor to find out.because birth control doesn't help if you are pregnet.
By taking a pregnancy test. If it's positive, it might be the pregnancy symptoms.
o it will not help in making the pregnancy test negative in anyway.
Hello, Your question is: What if your nipples have been hurting for the past week if you have stopped taking birth control 3 weeks ago Is this a sign of pregnancy? Nipple tenderness can indicate pregnancy but unless other symptoms are associated which may also indicate pregnancy then I wouldn't believe this to be purely pregnancy related. When you stop taking birth control, as the hormones withdraw from your system, breast tenderness is not unheard of and neither is abdominal cramping, headaches or nauseous. However, perform a pregnancy test to be certain.
Taking the birth control pill lowers the risk of pregnancy. Not taking the birth control pill does not lower the risk of pregnancy. You are more likely to get pregnant when you are not taking the birth control pill.
If you don't want to get pregnant, USE BIRTH CONTROL. It's that simple.
