My Dr. took me off BCP at the end of the last pack (late July). Had random spotting at beg. of August, but I wasn't tracking my cycle just yet even though we're planning on TTC. I have had cramping, nausea, dizziness, very frequent urination since Monday. Is it possible I conceived even though I haven't been off BCP that long yet? Advice on this? Anyone have a similar situation? I can't even say if my period is late; I haven't had a non-Pill one yet....

We are in the exact same situation.I went off the pill the last week of July as well and even though I haven't missed a period ,I feel like I may have gotten pregnant.It may be wishful thinking though so I am going to wait until next week to take a test.Are you trying to get pregnant?If so good luck and I hope we both receive good news.It is possible though to get pregnant the first month it has happened to my best bud, twice!!!I've had cramping,nausea,headaches etc...only time will tell.

Its very possible. Some people get off the pill and O right away and are pregnant just like that...others it takes time for there body to adjust. But as a warning to you, and the other poster who is in the same situation....its also common for people coming right off the pill to have pregnancy type symptoms, but its just them adjusting also. So chances are high that you could be, but at the same time it just could be your hormones trying to figure out whats going on. I hope you get a BFP, but also hope your not too disappointed if you dont just yet. Like you said you didn't even expect this yet, so if you are I bet it will be a real nice surprise.

Hi - I'm in the same situation. I went off the pill in July. My last period on the pill began 7/31. I expected my period yesterday (under the 28 day cycle) but it hasn't come yet. I have also been experiencing alot of symptoms, but they can be attributed to coming off the pill - my normal cycle may not be 28 days anyway, so.....I'm going to give it a few more days - see if my period comes or not. I took a test yesterday morning and I had a very, very faint negative line - I'm not sure if that means anything or not - driving myself nuts!

I'm hoping that there is good news to come for us all.........
