Are Symptoms related to pregnancy? ovulation? coming off the Posted: 09-11-06 12:29pm
I have had quite a few symptons after
going off of the pill and we have been
trying to get pregnant. I am not sure if
these symptons are normal for going off of
the pill or if they were signs of
ovulating or if I may be pregnant. The
symptons are: sore nipples for a week or
so, constant urination in the middle of
the night(always had this problem but
seemed to increase a little), very tired
in the last 2 weeks, especiall this last
week, and constantly bloated. I am not
sure if I am looking too much in to this
or not. Please help me out.

According to the symptoms you mention
(sore nipples, bloating, fatigue, constant
urination in the middle of the night,
tiredness…) it is impossible to say if
you are pregnant or not. All the symptoms
you mention can be present in many other
conditions, including pregnancy. Lack of
menstruation is the first sign of a
possible early pregnancy. When a woman
lacks her menstruation, the first thing
what she should think about is pregnancy.
Lack of menstruation is an unreliable sign
of early pregnancy (it can also indicate a
hormonally active follicular ovarian
cyst), so any assumption regarding
pregnancy should be verified with a home
prgenancy test. A positive pregancy test
can then be confirmed with an ultrasound
confirmation of the fetus.
Most women do not feel ovulation (although
it is possible). After ovulation, the body
temperature rises slightly and that’s
how it can be detected. Another method for
detecting ovulation is using ovulation
tests.
You can take a home pregnancy test now to
confirm or exclude pregnancy.
