Hi everyone,

this is a strange question probably. My hubby and I are finally off the bc pill. I wouldn't say we are ttc but we aren't trying to stop it either. Anyways, I know it would be too soon to tell, it's only been a week and a half since we had our first unprotected sex. I'm due for a period next week, but my stomach all of a sudden feels like i've been punched. Kinda like I have a bruise on the top and bottom of my abdomen. It hurts if I push it or bump it in those places. I've had some cramping and weird feelings and a little uneasiness in my stomach. Is this my body getting used to being off the pill? I can't imagine getting preg this fast. How soon do you start getting pregnancy symptoms.

Symptoms...

They start as soon as the embryo has implanted into your uterus. They may be very similar to your normal menstrual symptoms. Of course, everyone is different. Some know as soon as the embryo is implanted, and some have no idea until they're 2 1/2 months along.

If you are trying to conceive, then I would suggest to continue the process of conceiving. If your period does not arrive I would get a test (doesn't have to be the expensive ones.) in all reality, that is going to be your determining factor.

Conceiving after birth control is also different for everyone. Stopping birth control can have a huge affect on your menstrual cycle. It can be on time...Or it can delay it until it stabelizes. I know of people conceiving because they missed 1 week of the patch. But, like myself, I had to have my menstrual cycle after birth conrol, induced with a special hormone pill.

I hope that this helps just a little or at least answers some of your questions..

Good luck!!!

Sarah

Hi chrissy-

i had that same symptom and I still have it now and I am 11 weeks. Feels like I did a bunch of sit-ups! But, I do not remember when that first started. 1 week and 1/2 does seem soon.

I stopped taking bc pills (ortho tri) and got pregnant that same month. You will be suprised how fast it can happen!

I was off the pill for one year when with my now ex husband. When we separated I got back on the pill in march. I then met my now new husband. We decided to have kids. Since nothing happened with the ex hubby over the year, and new hubby and I had heard it could take awhile, I quit my pills again in july, with the wedding set for october. I conceived around july 26th of the same month I quit my pills. I have to wonder if ex hubby wasn't sterile, or had low sperm count.

I forgot to mention that at first, before the pregnancy showed up on a test, my symptoms were just like I was getting ready for my period. I had mild cramping, minor bloating, craving chocolate, face broke out.

I couldn't imagine that i'd get preg that fast. I think my body is just adjusting and getting ready for my upcoming period. :) my stomach is still really sore though, like you said. I feel like I did a million sit-ups. I'm cramping a little and really thirsty, and my breasts are sore, but I get like that for every period so this is normal. I've never had a sore stomach like this though. I figure it's something I did when I was sleeping and don't remember. I've done some research and it's wayyy too early to have symptoms according to the websites ive been too. If I would happen to be preg, this would be the beginning of the third week since conception I think. I don't understand how they figure the weeks out and stuff. If you go from the first date of my last period it would be 4 to 5 weeks I think, I can't remember what day I started on.
