Am I Pregnant?

Hello,

My husband and I are trying for our first child.

My last period was 7/14 but it was more like spotting.

Now I have a brown discharge, lower back pain, and cramping.

I am also experiencing heartburn.

Could I be pregnant?

I was on the pill for about 2 years and stopped taking them in February. How many months after does the pill finally leave my system?

Every woman's body is different, but I can share my personal experience with you. I was on the pill for almost 5 years before I decided to try to get pregnant. I went off the pill and two weeks later I just felt pregnant. I had no symptoms, but I just knew. I waited a couple more days to test because it was too early, and when I did....it was definitely positive. Soon, after that, I started getting symptoms. So, it is definitely possible to get pregnant right away, but I've also heard people say that it could take as long as a year. I hope this helps!! Good luck!!

Thanks for input.

I hope I am

My period is due next week, so if it doesn't show up, I'll have to do a test!

Have a great weekend!
