I've never been pg, but DH and I decided I'd go off of the pill the end of June. I took the last week of pills (the ones before the AF week's ones). I had a regular AF the following week, just like if I'd been taking the "sugar pills" in the pack. I'd been on the pills for about 3 years. Well, I was supposed to have AF around the dates of 7/29 to 8/1. I didn't. I had a VERY small trace of red blood on 8/5. Nothing more. Very small amount. I've been having "gas"?? type feelings (for a lack of better description, sorry) in my lower abdomen for over a month now, headaches all the time and extremely tired....but no soreness in my bb's. I've not experienced constipation, quite the opposite the last week or so. My DH and I were going to start ttc next week, so that'd be about 2 months off of the pill, but I'm wondering if I got pg while ON the pill? Any advice would be SOOO appreciated. Thanks!!!

Most likely you did not get pregnant while on the pill. Your symptoms are very common of women who are just of bcp's... they are basically the same as pregnancy symptoms though, so it can be very confusing! I went of the pill the same time you did (end of June) and the first month I was sure I was pregnant (but I wasn't). Anyway, if you think you might have gotten pregnant on the pill take a home pregnancy test to ease your mind. I think it's probably just your body getting used to hormone withdrawal.

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I didn't think there was any way I could have gotten pregnant while on the pill. But NEVER being pregnant, I wasn't sure what was going on, since some of the "symptoms" I have are like others list. Great to know someone else went off the bcp same time I did, maybe we can keep in touch?! Will this be your first child? Take care!!
