Complicated Situation But Just Had to Ask ^_^" Posted: 11-28-04 05:19am
Hey all! I have a question which is gonna
be somewhat agitating to answer bcuz I
don't have all my dates figured out
"exactly"-- but here goes! I started
taking the pill (alesse) on october 17th,
the sunday following the week I started my
period. I took the pill up until the
following friday or saturday (oct.
22/23), but wound up having to stop bcuz
stupid me misplaced my pills. Now here's
the tricky part. As oftentime happens, I
began to have "break-through" bleeding (or
so I think it was) a few days after
stopping the pill. Problem is, I can't
remember "exactly" when nor how long it
lasted, tho i'm almost certain it didn't
go into this month (november). On top of
all this, my husband decided not to pull
out on nov. 21st w/o my knowledge of his
intention. So now it's november 28th, and
still no sign of my period. Normally my
breasts will get tender or i'll start
breaking out a week bfore my period is
due, but so far no such thing. I haven't
noticed any real tell-tale signs of
pregnancy although I feel kinda bloated at
times, and have been using the bathroom
quite a bit along with feeling tired a lot
(then again maybe that's just me ^_^").
So I guess i'm just wondering if this is
"normal" after getting off the pill or is
there a possibility I could be pregnant?
Any input would be greatly appreciated
=)... Thanx!
Well hun my advice would be go ahead and
take a test. You could be pregnant but it
could also be getting off the pill. Let
us know what u find out! G/l

Thanx newmommy... I've been thinking of
taking one, but having gone through a
similar situation a couple months back w/
bfn after bfn, i'm somewhat hesitant =\.
Maybe i'll take at least one some time
this week. I'm not sure what to hope for
since me and mah hubby are currently
separated and i'm trying to go back to
school in the spring .
I mean, i've always wanted to be a mother
(and a great one at that ), but i'm just
kinda nervous about the whole idea right
now =\...
The sooner you find out the better it is
for you and the baby if there is one. I
know how you feel. I found out I was
pregnant after my boyfriend and I broke
up.

Sometimes birth control can stop your
period. Mine did. It was weird, too. I
was fine without them and then when I had
my first son, I took them and stopped and
my period stopped. It took almost 2 years
to make them somewhat regular..Still never
were, but son #2 is on his way. I would
take a test and if its not pos, then go to
your ob/gyn and ask him to exam for
enlargement of the uterus and take a blood
test. Even though a urine test .I.S.
Accurate, sometimes the blood test is
.M.O.R.E. Accurate.

Last year I started the pill after going
of the shot..I also missed pills....I
thought that maybe my period wasn't coming
because of the pill...But after going to
the doctor I found out that I was 5 weeks
pregnant(miscarraige).. It can be
possible so just take a test to be sure..

Thanx for all the responses, ladies =)...
I think i'm definitely gonna take a hpt
this week to at least get an "idea" of
what's going on. Another question, tho
(sorry if tmi). If u're pregnant, what
kind of texture is ur cm? 'cuz around
nov. 21st (give or take a couple days) my
cm was ew and stretchy, but now it's kinda
"lotiony" (if that's a word ^_^"). Does
this mean anything?

Well, cervical mucus is clear and stretchy
during ovulation.

Well, it's only clear and stretchy when
you're ovulating, so I guess it does
change. But there is no specific
pregnancy cm. You typically have a lot
of discharge during pregnancy.

it is different for everyone. I would
think that whatever your 'regular'
discharge is like, it would be similar.
My husband noticed a slight difference,
but I don't think I ever did. In case
anyone doesn't understand, what I mean by
clear and stretchy is it's completely
transparent and if you put some between
two of your fingers you can make like
strings. It will stretch. The more it
stretchs (meaning you can make a few
strings and they don't break) the closer
you are to ovulation. It is very sperm
friendly. It is thicker than when you're
just 'wet'. You may have to study your
discharge for awhile to tell the
difference.
