Hello I have been off the patch since August 19th with my AF coming on the 22. In Sept. I had sex on 9/7, 9/10, 9/14 and 9/21. My Af came again on the 24th my cycle is 33 days , but it was unusualy light and much less painful that normal, it ended 9/26 in the morining which made it only 2 days long. My bf says that I couldn't be pg because my body has to adjust being off of bc. I think otherwise because Being off of it for a month is enough time to "adjust", and I am starting to feel some symptoms like fatigue, dizziness and this morning I woke up at 3 am feeling so sick, I had to drink a bottle of water just to calm my stomach down. I took 3 pg test on 9/26, 9/27 and 9/30 each came out neg. which convinces my bf that I am definitely not pg, my body is telling me something so I am going Thurday to get blood work done.

Well some people will take many months to get back to a normal cycle. And its not uncommon to have pg symptoms during this. There are so many people who come here with the same situation. Pregnancy isn't immpossible. Some people will bounce right back, but many don't. Good Luck with your blood work and let us all know how it comes out.

Well I have been on depo prior to the patch, which is also why my bf thinks I am not pg. My last shot was in December 02. I have been on and off depo since 16 It usually takes me 3-5 months to get my AF back which happened in may when I got on the patch. So only defense is that something is really going on with my body and the blood test is my last resort because I am not going to get another box of home pg tests and then find out later on when I am going on 3 months that I am pg.
