ive been on the pill for almost nine months, but 3 weeks ago i decided to get off of it, b/c i had chosen not to be sexually active, but i got back together with my boyfreind a week ago, and about 5 days ago we were messing around, and had some genital touching, but did not fully penetrate..here lately ive been waking up with nausea..so im wondering if i could already having pregnancy symptoms after 5 days, or is it just a symptom of getting off the pill..?

You would not have symptoms so soon at all!

Most women do not experience morning sickness for 5-6 WEEKS, definitely not 5-6 days.

By medical standards, if conception even did occur, you would not even be pregannt yet, as implantation would not have occured yet.

Absolutely you can get pregnant, after even missing 2 pills during your month!

Right. Like eiri said, you certainly can get pregnant being off the pill for three weeks. If you couldn't, then you wouldn't have to take the pill every day, right? Only once every three weeks. Your chances of getting pregnant start going up as soon as you stop taking the pill.

However, as Cari said, five days is kind of early for you to be experiencing most pregnancy symptoms. You can't rely on symptoms anyway. The symptoms for early pregnancy are the same as symptoms of dozens of other things.
