I've been off the pill for 2 months- I was
told before that it would be pretty hard
to get pregnant for the first couple
months your off the pill, so I havent
really been to careful. Well i'm 8 days
late, i've taken 3 tests all negative and
then a girl at work told me I could still
be prego and her doc told her the 3
months after getting off the pill is the
most fertile. So if i'm prego great! But
I have no idea if I am. I stopped smoking
and drinking just in case, but I feel like
I am. I've never felt this weirdness in
my body, my back hurts my stomach aches
kinda but doesnt hurt its just a weird
feeling, my boods are sore and I found a
lump- they also feel less perky??? I've
gotten these weird like sharp pains that
lasted about a millisecond inside me, like
my cervix or something- are these prego
symptoms or am I making myself crazy?? I
get really uncomfortable and hot
flashes... Please help!!!

Well I would get the lump in your boob
checked-that's not a preggy sign, but yes
usually right after getting off the pill
is very fertile time. My friend on
anothe forum was on the pill for 11 years
and got pregnant the month after she got
off and just delivered a lil boy last
month.
See if you miss your period and take a
test.
Good luck

Go get a blood test done asap. They are
99.9% accurate, and you could stop
wondering after.

Blood tests are different, they can detect
the smallest trace, pregnancy tests come
out neg all the time.

I talked to my mom about the situation and
she doesn't think i'm prego, she said her
biggest sign was her boobs hurting and
mine don't. They are a little sore, but
nothing out of the ordinary. She has
endometreosis and I have had a couple
ultra sounds to see if I have it but they
havent found anything.... Does anyone
know if this could be from endo? Or is
there any other advice?
Thanks so much

Going to the doctor is going to be your
best bet. I mean everyone has different
symptoms. I have talked to plenty nurses
about the ept tests, and all the
others....And they have all told me the
same thing......They don
t work. Not like a blood test. When my
friend was pregant with my god daughter
every home test said negative. She went
to the doctors and she was already 5
months!
I would most diffently see your
doctor...Better safe than sorry
good luck

After you get off birth control is one of
the most fertile times...
A lot of people dont know, but some dr's
use the pill in fertility treatments.
They will have the woman take the pill for
a certain amount of time, and then go off
of it to get her fertile.
It's pretty simple... Birth control fools
your body into thinking that it's
pregnant. Thats why some women experience
pregnancy-like symptoms (swollen feet,
nausea, cravings) when they are on birth
control. That may be what it is..
The best thing to do is act as if you are
pregnant (good idea!), and just wait
another week!! ;]
