Hello! The first da of my LMP was Nov.
17th. My estimated conception date was on
da 1st of Dec. Me and my fiance' had
unprotected sex on the 1st of Dec. (not
knowing it was my estimated conception
date at da time). I am on birth control
pills, but i do NOT take them at the same
time everyday, and have missed a day and
had to catch up. I've read that not
taking them around the same time of the
day can make them ineffective!!! I think
i've been having a few symptoms of early
pregnancy which have been: cramping, lower
abdominal pain, soreness of breast,
visibal veigns in breast, more bumps on
areona(area around the nipple), and also
discharge from the nipple! Could i be
pregnant? Its been 10 DPO and im wondering
if i can test today? Please reply..thank
u!!!

Even though you could be pregnant, it's a
little too early to be experiencing these
symptoms of a pregnancy if you think you
may have conceived on December 1st. I do
not think that a pregnancy test would help
you this early on, but it doesn't hurt to
try one of course. It is hard to tell
when you are on a BC plan and just
starting it out, and it could be playing
with the timing of everything.
Birth control is only effective about 99
percent of the time if you follow the
directions, so it is possible that you
could be pregnant whether you were careful
or not......and you weren't of course.
The symptoms you have could actually be
side effects of your pill. If the pill is
making you uncomfortable, maybe you should
talk to your doctor about an alternative.

Oh, I see. Well if you haven't
experienced these symptoms until now, then
you should probably take a test....you may
have even been pregnant for longer than
you think if you are pregnant. If you are
pregnant from 10 days ago, then you could
still take a test, but if it comes back
negative, then try again in about a week
to be sure you haven't tested too early.

You don't know if you did ovulate, you are
estimating? Is that what we are to
understand? In that case, you should test
when (if) you miss your period or when you
take your placebo pills.
You can boost your protection by wearing
condoms or using spermicide!
Good luck.

Why are you assuming that you ovulated
when on BCP. Unprotected sex means no
protection whatsoever. Taking you pill
somewhat late will most likely still NOT
get you pregnant. On top of all this
having intercourse on your O day doesn;t
likely get you pregnant either ...it is
sex prior to O date that usually does the
trick. Test if need be when you have
missed a period but the chances are very
slim.

You're again assuming IB exists! Your
chances of pregnancy are slim and chances
of IB are slimer and close to 0 ...It has
not been proven to exist. Symptoms of
pregnancy are IDENTICAL PMS. I see nothing
out of the ordinary that jumps out and
screams PREGNANCY! Then if you have read
all about the possibilties , why havn't
you read the more likely possibilty of
your hormones being out of whack due to
the irregualr fashion you are taking your
pills? Taking them irratically will cause
spotting, breakthrough bleeding and PMS
symtoms galore. You are still most LIKELY
NOT pregnant!
