Could i be pregnant?

Hi

I came off my pill about 2 weeks ago now, Ive had unprotected sex since then and for the last week i have had the following symptoms... sore head, exceptionally dry mouth - especially when waking up in the morning, extreme tiredness, in my stomach i have like a tugging sensation and also what feels like period cramps and i keep having hot flushes and it feels like i am burning from the inside out. Ive done 3 tests and all came back negative but after looking at symptoms online some websites are saying these are very early pregnancy symptoms that is just not enough to show on a home pregnancy test yet... could this be correct?

Thanks

Go to the doctors

did you have your period when you stopped the pill?

in all honesty its highly unlikely that you are pregnant so quickly after coming off the pill and the symptoms are more likely your body getting used to not having the hormones going through your body.

pregnancy tests wont show positive until after implantation has happened and that usually happens about 10ish days after you ovulate

It is common to get a lot of symptoms after stopping the pill. I remember I felt really ill, the main symptoms being headaches and feeling sick. I did felt like I was pregnant in many ways.

They say both that it can take time to get pregnant after stopping the pill, or that it can happened quickly. I felt pregnant the next cycle after stopping the pill and that was in my late 30s.

I thought after years on the pill that it would take me a while to conceive at thirty yet within two weeks of stopping it I was experiencing the sort of symptoms the OP describes and my son was born nine months later - so I'd say "highly unlikely" is not the case. It's a definite possibility.

Bleeding after stopping the Pill is a withdrawal bleed, not a period.....


OP wait a few weeks and do another pregnancy test. A pregnancy is obviously not a problem, as you decided not to use contraception, so why not just wait and see.

If you came off the pill 2 weeks ago, even if you had a genuine period that day you still wouldn't have ovulated again to fall pregnant! To come off the pill a fortnight ago, and to have had symptoms for a week, would say to me it's definitely just your body adjusting to the change in hormones.
