Q: Off Bc And Pregnancy Symptoms

asked by: allstarme on January 6th, 2005

I just recently got off the pill at the beginning of december, and I should have already had my period by now, but all I have had are (what I think are) pregnancy symptoms: nausea, fatigue, bloating, very occasional cramps, like maybe once or twice since i've gotten off the pill, no period, and emotional. I have had sex after getting off the pill w/ no protection. Am I pregnant or can it be my hormones changing b/c of the pill?

I think you really should consider doing a pregnancy test, because you had unprotected sex, and you have suspicious symptoms...
Of course your hormones get out of control when you start/stop taking the pill, but anyway you really should be sure.
If you take the home pregnancy test don't forget to use the first urine in the morning! It's more reliable!

Wish you all the best!

I suggest taking a home pregnancy test first to. But I also would go to my doctor if you can afford it to get a test done there to just to be on the safe side.
