Hey! Yes, it is possible for you to get pregnant. Sounds like you may be in the process of ovulation right now seeing as how you're not due for another 2 weeks, but everyone is different. Are you wanting a baby?

It's hard to say since you just ended the pill 2 weeks ago, but there is always a chance when you don't use protection, anyways don't stress your self out over it if you don't know for sure if anything has happened yet. You should at least wait until your late to start freakin' and if that is the case and you will freak then maybe you should get back on the pill so you don't have to worry about it even though you know nothing is 100%. Sorry I don't mean to preach, buy I had a child at a younger age and I know that it wasn't at all easy. If you ever have any ?'s or just need to talk you can e-mail me at W5777@aol.com I'd be more then happy to listen.~Anna~ age 26

It's possible that you could be in the process of becoming pregnant now, but you won't really know until it's time for your period. The soonest you can find out is either with an early HPT or a blood test. In those cases you can find out as soon as 3-4 days before your period is due. You could start having symptoms as early as later next week. Hope this helps!

Some people can get pregnant straight away after coming off the pill - remember you can get pregnant on the pill when you miss them. Other people don't go back to a proper cycle for a while.

Wait for two weeks or so and see if your period comes, if not then get a home test or see your dr. It is possible that sore breasts are because you are mixed up with your hormones still after soming off the pill and not settling down or because you are pregnant. I doubt you would have pregnancy symptoms just yet if you were, its way too early.

If you are happy to get pregnant, then continue to have unprotected sex, if not, don't rely on the old "you can't get pregnant for... after coming off the pill".

just to add something that hasn't been said - if you're AF doesn't come in two weeks like it's "supposed to", and you take a test, and it's negative....it's pretty likely that it's not a false negative really. most women have weird cycles for a while after getting off the pill, and many have "pregnancy" or "PMS" symptoms after going off the pill as well. did you have a 28 day cycle BEFORE you started the pill? if not, it's pretty likely that you'll be returning to your old cycle, however long that was. if you have negative home tests, i'd say wait a couple extra weeks before you go to the doctor, since it's likely that your AF won't be on time anyway. if you take an hpt in a couple weeks and it's positive, then you need to see a doc asap to make sure that it's not a tubal pregnancy (one of my friends just had one of those...she didn't even know she was pregnant until she went to the ER because she woke up to major cramps/lower ab pain and extremely heavy bleeding) and to start prenatal care. good luck!

i was on the pill for nearly 3 years. if i am pregnant the father of the baby has said he will support me and the baby. but i am worried that he will change his mind and not support me after the baby is born. i dont know if i will be able to support the baby on my own. I am due on the 13th of this month, i just feel its such a long time to wait. all i can think bout is if i am pregnant or not. I know this might sound a bit silly but we have already decided on names.

i said that i had unprotected sex twice but i never said that it was with two different blokes, i am not a slag or anything. could these mean anything different? is it more of a chance that i might be pregnant or not? does anyone know?
