Could I be pregnant? need some advice

I started taking the pill (ortho tri cyclen) on Nov. 7th. The day I started taking it I started getting very sick and throwing up all the time. I tried to deal with the sickness hoping it would pass, but it just kept getting worse. Three days into taking the pills my period started (the most heavy I have ever been, it was horrible) By about Nov. 18th-20th my period was still extremly heavy and I was still feeling absolutley awful so I decided to stop taking the pill all together (as soon as I stopped taking it, my period stopped). I know that doing so probably messed with my body etc. but I just couldn't handle the pill anymore as I was also crying all day for no reason.

My boyfriend and I have since had sex a handful of times since I stopped taking the pill. He has never worn a condom, but he always "pulls out" before ejaculation. I still have not started my period again and I have also been feeling fatigued latley as well as having a bigger appetite and craving certain foods. So my question is do you think it is possible I could be pregnant or do you think the hormones from the pill have just thrown things off? P.S when I was on the pill for the second week he didn't "pull out" at all.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am a little nervous.

I am kind of in the same boat you are. Someone said that my period might be late because my body is adjusting to being off the birth control. I stopped taking bc on november 12 a week after I started spotting. I still havent gotten my period. Good luck to you. It might just be your body adjusting.
