Question

I am looking for opinions.....no mean comments please.....The last BC Pill ( orthotricyclen ) i took was on the 28th of Jan. I got my period that following Wed. on the 31st which lasted till the 4th of Feb. I was supposed to start my pills again that night and I didn't... The following week from the 11th thru the 16th we had intercourse about everyday. I took a preg. test on the 23rd of Feb...because I was feeling very bloated slight cramping but it came out neg. Could it have been to early?Now my breast are very soar I still feel bloated of and on, not that much cramping anymore... What do you think I should do??? Wait and take another preg. test or is there no chance for me to get preg. now since i just got off the pill??? I do plan on contacting my OB but first i want to know what you think?? Thanks

Answer 1

Based on the information you provided and the assumption that you are on a normal 28 day cycle (hard to really know what your normal cycle is though since it's been hormonally altered because of the pill), you should be expecting your period today or tomorrow. Unfortunately, many of the early symptoms of pregnancy are also that of an impending period. The 23rd would have been too early to test, so it's no surprise that you received a negative result. Even the tests that say you can test 4-5 days before your expected period only have a 60-70% accuracy rating for detecting pregnancy that early. I'd wait until tomorrow, and if you still don't have your period, take another home pregnancy test. You can become pregnant immediately after getting off the pill - it happened immediately for me with my first, and just found out I'm expecting my second on my 2nd cycle after getting off the pill. Everyone's body is different though. That's why most doctors on average it takes at least 3 months to conceive after getting off of a hormonal birth control pill. You can also trick your body and your mind into thinking you are pregnant. You may find yourself noticing every symptom out there and not be pregnant at all. The human psyche does some strange things. So like I said, if you don't get your period in the next day or two, take another test. If it's a positive result, call your OB and set up an appointment. If it's negative, wait a couple days and test again if you still haven't seen your period. If you still don't have your period by Monday and you're not getting a positive result, call your doctor and they can do a blood test for pregnancy, and go over why you haven't seen your period if you're not pregnant. I hope you get the answer you're looking for.

Answer 2

You definitely can get pregnant right away. I have had some friends who got pregnant right away. It all depends on your body and timing! Although it's possible, it can be that your body is having a bit of a hormonal imbalance. After I stopped the pill, I swore I was pregnant from all the symptoms I was having (waves of nausea, tender nipples, and very mild cramping...it lasted almost 2 weeks) but I wasn't. It was just my hormones going crazy. So it definitely can go either way. I'd check with your OBGYN to be sure.

Answer 3

You already know the answer contact your OB because of taking the pill I would want to know should I know of things that could affect me not having a baby sooner. Good luck.

Answer 4

I became pregnant only three days of stopping orthotricyclen low. Contact your OB.
