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... Posted: 01-30-06 17:13pm
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.
