I just stoped taking the pill a couple of weeks ago andhad a light period last week. We have been using other protection since. Have been feeling crampy and cranky so took a pregnancy test a few minutes ago and it was positive. I am in shock. Is conceiving so quickly after stopping the pill (less than two weeks) harmful to the baby? I am going call to get in to the doctor first thing in the morning but would appreciate any advice sooner from somone who might have info. Thanks.

Congrats! I am not a medical expert, but I have read a lot of stories where other women were on the pill and it was fine. Good luck.

Wow! Congrats to you! I don't think you have to worry about the pill harming the baby, I'm no doctor, but I do know someone who was on the Pill, and got pregnant, and her boy is just as cute as could be. I would definitely talk to your doc, they can ease your worries about it, but other than that, have a happy, healthy 9 months!

*grins*

It was better than 25 years ago, but my mom concieved me while she was on the pill and I'm pretty sure I came out ok.

Although I know a handful of people who would argue that. ;)

(Btw : I was an incredibly healthy, 3 week late, almost 10 pounder.. let's hope yours doesn't follow my footsteps. ;) )

Please tune in later for a new signature. :)
