I just got off the pill last month and my period was do last weekend. Lately I have been feeling tired, and last night I noticed my breasts were larger and a bit tingly. I do get a little nausea, but in flashes. I also noticed my cervix was very low, slimy, and soft. I don't want to jump to conclusions but am very hopefull! Can I be pregnant?

Oh yeah, you can get pregnant really quickly, or at least some people can! I was off the pill (triphasil) for a whole 12 days before I conceived. And, that was after being on the pill for 7 years without a single pregnancy scare! Congrats!

Thanks! I was just so surprised because my Human Sexuality college professor told us that it typically takes a woman 2-6 months to get pregnant when you get off the pill. Since I was on the pill for three years I thought it would take me a while.

I was just wondering if you had any other symptoms other than a missed period? I too went off the pill this month - my last period started 7/31 and I am due for my next on 8/28 - I have basically convinced myself that I am preggo, but I feel stupid for even thinking it. Firstly, b/c I have read how it takes some women months and months to conceive after the pill and secondly b/c I haven't missed a period yet. I think I may just be imagining symptons - maybe I just have wishful thinking????
