January 2nd, 2004
My last period started on the 18th nov, I also stopped taking the birth control pill around the same time, I also had period on 5th nov, which was unusual two in one month, I have had unprotected sex since 18th nov and have not had any period or spotting since.
I have took two home preg tests both were negative, one on 19th dec and one today 2nd jan, but have still been having unprotected sex in between these dates.
I have been feeling sickly and have abdominal cramps and a sore back as if gonna start a period had these a few days now but no period.
Last week I woke up with cramps in abdomin I went really hot and dizzy thought was going to pass out but these symptoms passed after an hour or so.
Could I be pregnant and the home tests are in accurate or will my period come and is late due to coming off pill??? Please help....

Hi There
You could be late because you stoped taking the pill. I missed a hole month when I stoped taking my pill. But you have been having unprotected sex. You could wait and see what happens or if you are worried then go to the doctor and get a blood test done that is the only way you are going to find out. Best wishes to you and good luck, I hope you get the answer you are looking for. :p

Thanks, it probably is stopping the pill, its just the not knowing, I am bloated and tired as well and just wish I knew either way, I have phobias of needles so tend not to haeblood took unless its an emergency, I give it another couple of week then do another test and if that is negative then I take it as it being the pill stopping periods.

Anytime you have unprotected sex and you are not on birth control, which in your case was stopping the pill, you run the risk of getting pregnant.

You could be late because of stopping the pill or you could be pregnant. The only way you will for sure is to have a bloodtest.

Best of luck to you!

I'd wait. I hear of a lot of people who are pregnant who tested for a month and got negatives until the end of the month.
