I have been on the pill for about 6 years
now, and have just stopped taking it for 5
days now (last time I took it was 9/11).
I had intercourse on the 11th, 12th,
13th, and 14th without any contraceptive.
I have been throwing up for 3 days
straight now, mostly after eating. Do
you think I could be pregnant or is it
just symptoms from coming off the pill?
Is a few days too soon to be showing any
symptoms of pregnancy? I forgot to
mention, that it seems like I got my
period (not as heavy as usual) a couple
days after I stopped taking the pill as
well? Maybe my body thinks that this is
the week i'm supposed to have my period,
since I stopped taking the pill (i just
finished my last period a week ago).

Its too early to tell, but mabe you should
go back on the pill to help regulate
things. It controls your hormones and
keeps your periods regular. I dont think
it stops working right away, so next time
your period is due, and its late take a
test. A few days is way to early to know
and to have symptoms. Maybe 4-5 weeks
later you would. Take a test later.

If I resume my pills again, is there a
chance that my period would be late?

It shouldnt effect the time your period is
supposed to come but it might. It usually
regulates your period but because you went
off, then your going back on it might
react differently. Stress is a big factor
in delaying your period so you might want
to not stress about the chance of being
pregnant. Good luck!

I was on the pill for about 2 years and I
ubruptly stopped taking the pill aslo.
This was about a year ago. I was having
unnprotected sex with my boyfriend coming
in me every night. I thought I was
pregnant because I wasnt getting my period
for 3 months staight. I was having the
symptoms except for the swollen breasts.
Come to find out I am just very fertile
and sincec I had stopped taking the pill
my body thought I was pregnant and didnt
drop an egg for 38 weeks. On the 39th
week, I got my period. I hope this helps
you!!

Since you just stop taking the pill there
is no way you could be pregnant. It
takes up to 3 months or more before your
is rid of the hormones. The problems you
are having is just fro stopping the pill.
