Missed Birth Control Pills & Possible Pregnancy: Symptoms & Advice

Question
In May i had missed taking 2 or 3 of my birth control pills.  I had unprotected sex once.  I have been bleeding every month on my 7 days off of the pill, but i am having signs of pregnancy, weight gain, itchy breasts and belly, my stomach is beginning to feel hard and sticks out more.  I feel more hungry, have been peeing more and have been more tired. Lately it feels like something moving inside my stomach.  Could I be pregnant?

Answer
Dear Claire,

Have you found out if you are pregnant yet? It does sound like you might have signs of pregnancy. If you haven't found out yet and want a free pregnancy test, find a pregnancy resource center near you. http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. You can email me at CHERYL51@aol.com to update me. Hope to hear from you soon.

P.S. There really is no such thing as "protected" sex. You can get pregnant even if you use birth control so just wanted you to know that.
