I stopped taking the mini pill cerazetta last Wednesday (valentines day) My partner and i have had sex Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday unprotected since in hope of conceiving. Today my breasts have swollen up and very tender, could this mean im pregnant already or could i be ovulating so soon after stopping the POP pill?? The main reason i'm unsure is because many women who come of POP pills so i have heard don not have a period for months!

It's possible either way.
I highly recommend charting your fertility signs. Your chart can tell you when you are fertile, when you are not, when you are ovulating, when to expect your next period, and when to suspect pregnancy. Your chart can also tell you if there are issues delaying conception or causing difficulty w/ carrying a pregnancy and if there are serious issues which need a doc's attention.
Some women return to fertility right away after discontinuing hormonal birth control, but it can take 6 months or more. As far as I know, hormonal birth control depletes many of your vitamin stores, especially folic acid. You should strive for a balanced diet and begin taking supplements as needed (especially folic acid) in preparation for pregany.
Some good sources for charting your fertility signs: Fertilityfriend.com (free software as well as a pay-for version and on-line charting turorial); ovusoft.com (discussion boards for many fertility related issues, much info on fertility after the pill, and a very good software for purchase). The books Taking Charge of Your Fertility (associated w/ the the ovusoft website and software), The Art of Natural Family Planning, and Garden of Fertility

That's something that totally depends on your body. You should start tracking your cycle. I went of the pill and started cycling regularily right away. It's only been a week so I could say that you are not pg or ovulating so soon, but if you had short cycles before the pill it's possible. Or is it jsut the standard period that you get after you're off the pill? And you have to ovulate before you can get pregnant. You get pregnant when you ovulate. The best thing to do is track your cycle and wait.

i ovulated as normal as soon as i went off the pill. My guess would be that you are doing the same. It's very unlikely that you would show signs of pregnancy this soon. Just wait and see if your period comes, if not take a test. if you take one before then, it would most likely be wrong.

you're probably just ovulating. It usually takes months before you can conceive after taking BCP. But i could be wrong.
