What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

Hello, I am writing in regards to more information about pregnancy. I am worried about an incident that occurred last month. My girlfriend is on the birth control pill and has been for the past 3-4 years, never missed a pill. My issue is that I am allergic to different substances and creams of any type; therefore we do not take any other protection rather than the pills. My girlfriend ended up having a urinary tract infection and had to take Cipro pills for 7 days. We read that it takes 3-4 days until the antibiotic is completely out of the system; therefore we waited for a month and a half before we continued in our intimacy. It has been 3-4 weeks now that she has been sick in the morning, twice that she threw up. She may think that she is stressed with all upcoming exams, but we are concerned for I have read online that the pills do not take affect until a month to three months. Can you please provide more info as to what may happen and if she is pregnant, our alternatives?

Hi,
I have read your query & understand your concern.
- Provided your girl friend did not have a break in taking contraceptive pills-she can not conceive.
. - oral pills offer very good protection when taken regularly & there is no need of taking additional precaution for contraception
Her vomiting, in that case might be due to psychological stress/ hyper acidity due to over stress of studies.. thus missing normal sleep & rest.
Still to clear the doubt, she can go for Pregnancy test of urine ( HPT )after 8 days delay in her periods. & in case it turns +ve she has to consult a gynecologist for mTP.

thanks.
