I normally have very regular periods but I stopped taking the pill about a month ago and have had sex several times since then. I was just wondering what my chances of actually being pregnant was because I have no pregnancy symptoms except that I can now clearly see the blue veins in my breasts. Could the cause of my missed period just be from stopping the pill?

I am in you same situation and I wasn't pregnant. You can take a test to make sure but normally us ladies won't get our period or pregnant for that matter for at least 3 months to a year (but some people get pregnant right away). But stranger things have happened. I have been off the pill for about 2 months an haven't had anything. Keep in mind everybody is different and it takes time. Best of luck!!!

Yes you could be pregnant and yes your period could just be off from stopping the pill.
I have gathered easy to understand information about when a woman is most likely to get pregnant. You may be interested in reading it. http://www.geocities.com/zine4real_life/Articles/091906_sex_education_101.htm
If you are not wanting to get pregnant I would reccommend that you get back on the pill. If the pill was causing you problems then your doctor can put you on a different type but the pill is the most effective form of birth control short of not having intercourse.
If you stopped because you can't afford them then contact your local county health department. They can help you. I was getting my pills there and ran into a financial cruch and could not afford to buy more. I used the calandar method, which I talk about in the article above, to avoid getting pregnant. It worked for over 6 months. The problem is it only works if your periods are regular and you pay attention to what day it is. In my case we were celebrating something nice that happened and didn't check the calandar first. I'm expecting in 6 weeks or less.
When I went back to the health department to get a pregnancy test they told me that if I had just come back in they would have got me some more pills and could have made payment arrangements. If I had known I wouldn't be pregnant now with my first daughter. It wasn't want I wanted at this point in my life but I am so excited about having a daughter after having 4 sons. Fortunately my bf and I are doing great and I know we will be able to handle what lies in our future.
Good Luck!

Sounds like the same situation I was in. In mid- July I stopped taking the pill. My husband was on a business trip in July and when he came back...baby time..Literally. When you stop taking the pill it can mess with your cycle and you might ovulate at a time you didn't expect to. In my case, I ended up pregnant (happily) and am now a little more than 9 weeks along <3 I don't know if this is true, but i also heard that starting the pill and then going off can make you very fertile?? Or in your case your body may just be adjusting to not being on the pill. I had a friend who went 4 months without getting her period once she stopped taking it.. In either case, wish you luck!

It is entirely possible that your hormones are just out of whack because you went off the pill. However, to be on the safe side, get a pregnancy test! If you've had unprotected sex you could definitely be pregnant.
The blue veins in your breasts are a symptom of pregnancy but obviously not conclusive.

It's time to buy a home pregnancy test sweetheart. I'm 28 days to the day. When I miss, I'm pregnant. You can get pregnant as soon as you stop taking the pill. Then see a ob gyn. You are probably pregnant, especially since you have had sex as much as you say. Good Luck!

Your body could be just reacting to not being on the pill, it's normal. However, if you've been sexually active and not using any form of bc, then the chances are pretty good your pregnant. Get a home test or call your doctor.

Yes, the missed period could just be from going off the pill. It took me 58 days to have my first period off the pill.
It's also entirely possible that you are pregnant. Some women do not ovulate immediately when they go off the pill, but plenty do.
Take a test and you'll know.

Those veins are a pretty big pregnancy symptom. I would take a hpt seeing as how you have two major pregnancy symptoms. Good Luck.

Wait about 2 weeks then take a pregnancy test.
