Q: Stopped Bc Pills

I posted this in the BC Pill forum - and realized after it should have gone here - lol. So pasting it here for everyone's advice!

Just wanted to hear others opinion - the middle of last month I decided to stop using BC pill. I had been taking the BC pill for about 4 years. Once I stopped, my period started the next week and lasted for a week as usual.

However this month it has not started and I am a week late. Even though my husband and I had unprotected sex this past month - I probably wouldn't have considered pregnancy as the reason for my late period - it's just the symptoms that I've been having that have me wondering.

Usually, I have "normal" PMS but for the past week or so I've been dizzy, vomitting, bad nausea - symptoms I don't normally have as PMS. I usually just get a little bloating and cramps. And like I said earlier - I already had my period last month after I stopped the BC pill and everything was fine.

So, I guess I'm just wondering if anyone thinks these are just additional symptoms from not being on BC pill anymore and my cycle hasn't regulated yet or a possible pregnancy.

I took a HPT today and it came back negative.

All comments are appreciated!

It could be your body regulating but if you had unprotected sex while not on the pill you could be pregnant. Wait another week and test again if it doesn't show.

I'd say it's unlikely you're pregnant because that period you had right after ending the pills was still a "fake" one. You have no way of knowing if you ovulated until you have another period - this time it will be a real one. It is possible that you did ovulate and happened to have sex during that time, however it's more likely that your cycle is simply delayed because you got off the pills. It happens a lot.

I agree with the others: wait another week and test again.
