Could I be? Thoughts

My husband I have been talking about trying to start our family. I decided right after Christmas to go off my bc which I had been on for about 10 months (started taking it last year for help with ovarian cysts) so that we could start the process. But then my husband I talked and decided to wait. In any event, on January 26 I got AF and that Sunday I went back on the pill. We made love (unprotected) about a week and a half after I got AF and I am due to get next AF around 25th. On Saturday, I started getting a headache (that has not gone away) followed by an upset stomach. On Monday I started spotting, light brown, and it has lasted for a couple of days. I only notice it when I wipe after going potty (tmi sorry). And now my lower back hurts. As if that's not enough, when I came home from work yesterday (Tuesday) I fell asleep around 7 pm and slept for about 12 hours. Came home from work tonight and fell asleep again, took like an hour nap and am just about ready to go back to sleep.

Maybe I am crazy, just sick, and about to get my period and spotting because of going on and off the pill, but I am starting to wonder if maybe I could possibly be preggers. I don't want to stress myself out over this, but I feel horrible and now I am feeling a little crampy.

I could really use some input would like to know what you all might think.

Thanks

Hi Erica,


The falling asleep early and back aches, etc all sound like they could be early pg symptoms. But of course, they could also be pms. (so confusing). I would say that if you're due on the 25th, you could probably take a test on friday or saturday and see what it says. Can't hurt, if it's a BFN, you can always take another one... :)


Good luck! I hope you get that answer you're looking for...

Thanks for your thoughts Robin. In the back of mind I am sure this all has to do with going off and on the pill. But, deep down I would really love a BFP. I just never feel this way before AF. Very Confused and beginning to stress out waiting for the weekend to come.

Hey! Just wondering if any luck yet? I'm experiencing very similar (the on and off again BC thing) and I too am wondering if symptoms are from that or pregnancy.
