Q: Preggo or Pre-period?
asked by: chickidee on August 15th, 2008

Hi... I have been on Yaz for the past year or so and recently i decided to get off so that i could lose some weight (gained 20). A couple days after my last active pill, when my period was supposed to start, my husband and i had sex. We used the withdrawl method, but he wasn't sure if any had gone inside at all. However, I started my period the next morning (i think... it was within a day at least). Had a very crampy period, but normal for not being on Yaz. However, that was in late July. It's now almost the middle of august and i've been have these symptoms : Sore tender erect nipples ... sharp cramps in my lower abdomen... and i'm not sure if it's increased tiredness, because i'm always tired... plus my heart burn has been really bad... I have acid reflux (haven't taken my meds in a week or two, just tums) ... Soo.... *deep breath* ... How likely is it that i'm preggo?

IT is always possible that you are pregnant. I am having the same issues with acid reflux which has gotten a lot worse even with using tums. fatigue, sore tender errect nipples is always a possible symptoms.

however when you come off birth control u have gotta remember your body tries to figure out how to regulate itself on its own and you may get some pregnancy symptoms from that as well. wait about 1 week, and two weeks after your period is due and take a home pregnancy test if nothing see the doc... I know that is what I am doing cuz I swear I am pregnant too! sometimes u just know!
good luck!

Thanks... My hubby thinks i'm crazy ... my mom (who is 25 weeks along) thought that i could be but like you said, i could just be the after effect of the pill.... So, we shall see. Lol! Smile I'll wait it out a little longer and then check if i don't start on time.

solution for the acid reflux use prilosec. I works wonders. Been on it for several years. if you are pregnant u can still take it. I took it while i was pregnant. If i miss one pill im ok but if i mist two or more im dying from the reflux. As far as the pregnancy question wish I could help i have my own problems with pregnancy that I posted, which no one bothered to help or answer lol anyway good luck either way
