Are Weight Gain And Light Stomach Cramps Signs Of Pregnancy?

I have had unprotected sex three times in the past three weeks (once each week) and he always finishes inside of me. I have been on the pill for two months but I do not always take it at the same time everyday. I also missed a pill last week (two days after my last sexual encounter).

I have been waking up with an upset stomach everyday for the past few weeks, and I am frequently tired, much more than usual. I have also had light cramps, weight gain and a change in appetite.

I'm expecting my period this week, but my body doesn't feel the way it normally does before I have a period. Is it possible that I could be pregnant? Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

Hello!
First you don't have to be worried.
Second, we have to balance things together. That means that you have taken the pill, but you also have forgotten one them. This is not a big problem if you have forgotten only one pill. In the other hand you have had sexual intercourse during the second half of your menstrual cycle, which has the most propability to get pregnant.
The only thing that you can do is to wait for the date you expect your menstruation.
If you do not have at least a delay, you can not suspect a pregnancy. This symptoms that you experience may be due to the pill using. I don't have information about the time you have been using it but you can not have wight gain from an early pregnancy. All symptoms may appear in a pregnancy but they are not sure signs that confirm a pregnancy. If you have a menstrual delay, take a pregnancy test or a blood HCG.
Take care.
