pregnancy or period symptoms ? Posted: 01-03-08 12:27pm


I stopped taking Birth Control in November and today is January 3rd and I'm expecting my period tomorrow, but my husband and I had unprotected sex during the month of December and now I'm starting to have a couple of pregnancy as well as period symptoms. I got the nauesa, the sore breasts, the urination all the time, the headaches, but at the same time I have the bloating(I'm asuming), the cramps. I just don't know, If anyone can give me some advice that would be so great.

All those symptoms could be either PMS or pregnancy. Wait to see if you're late. If you don't start your period tomorrow, take a pregnancy test. If your period may be irregular, give yourself 3 weeks since the last time you had unprotected sex and if you still haven't started, TEST. By then, if you are pregnant and going off the BC hasn't thrown your schedule out of whack, you would have enough hcg in your urine to show up in a home pregnancy test. Did you get off BC in hopes of becoming pregnant? A week after I concieved, the only odd symptom I had was tender nipples. Only usual PMS symptom I had was my boobs felt "fuller" but this was normal about a week before I start. I never felt like my period was coming except for come mild cramps around that time too. And no morning sickness until much later and it only lasted 2 weeks.
