Could i be pregnant or my late menses due to ceasing of birthcontrol pills?

Question

Dear all,

I've stopped to take birth control pills for 2 months plus now. My last menstrual period was supposed to come on 30 Nov but it came on 6 Dec instead. And this month, it was supposed to come on 5 jan but it yet to happen.

I had unprotected sex with my fiance and he ejaculated inside me on Xmas eve, 24 dec. I too experienced some light spotting on 1 Jan and yesterday 10 Jan. Im very confused now whether im pregnant. My last menses came late too and I wasnt pregnant at all. But I have never experienced spotting before. My breast are sore and sensitive, my low back aches frequently. I havent done a home pregnant test yet as my girl friends told me to wait for another 5 days.

Could anyone tell me what I am going thru now? Fyi, i am now on hyperthyroid medication which started on 8 dec. Could my late menses due to this medication and stopping of birth control pills?

Thanks alot and hope to hear from u soon!

Answer 1

It's very possible that you are pregnant. If it is more than 1 day passed your missed period take a test. Better yet go to the doctor and get a blood test. They are more accurate.

After being on birth control pills it's common to have irregular and skipped menses, so it's hard to say for sure although our symptoms suggest the possibility of pregnancy as well.

It is also not uncommon for people with hyperthyroid problems to have irregular and skipped periods as well.

All in all I would takke a test to be sure.

Answer 2

The only way to know is to take a pregnancy test. I would take more than one. I am 28 weeks pregnant, previous to finding out I was pregnant i had slight spotting and some cramping.

Another reason to take a test is, if you are pregnant, the medication you are on could be hurting the baby. the first 3 months are critical.

Answer 3

When i stopped BC i got my periods right away.. the spotting could be implantation bleeding.. and those symptoms could be pregnancy. Have your breasts ever been sore before a period before? Mine never were, and about 2 weeks pregnant mine were swollen and super sensitive. I would go get a test.. 5 days late seems enough time. Or go to doctor they can tell you for sure. Good luck!

Answer 4

its probably the pills they build up the bad stuff so that they can release it but when you stop taking them your body does'nt know what to do so you have to go threw a different cycle. but you might want to get a test if your not sure if your pregnant.
