I know i already asked this a few days ago, but nobody got back to me. I've already had AF (1.5 weeks late) but it only lasted for 2 days. i went of bcp right after my LMP before this so-called on (i think it was June 28 when i stopped taking them) but i still feel pregnant. boobs are tender, very bloated, have to pee all the time and having cramps. i have a dr's appointment next tues. so i'll find out for sure, but what are the odds of being pregnant and getting your period? Thanks for your advice in advance.

hi tasha,

it is possible to have periods and be preg but not necessarily. my first baby after getting off bcp i had periods but definitly not really as normal as supposed to be. i thought i was adjusting to stopping bcp. i felt sick as could be but i thought i had the flu. i ended up finding out i was preg. Baby #2 was easy, no confusuion. GOing for baby#3 well that is a different story. I was on depo provera for 2-1/2 years and had major trouble getting my period back. i finally got AF and then nothing for weeks. thought i was preg since i felt so many signs. unfortunalty it was all in my head. dr put me on provera for short time to kick cycle back in gear. now i've had 2 fairly normal cycles but not preg yet. hopefully it will happen this time. I'm not sure how much help this is since it can be either way. so many factors to why your AF (if it was an AF) was late. the waiting is tough. i'm sure you'll feel relieved to know either way. I was dissappointed at first but at least i'm back on the road. Good luck to you. let me know what dr says.

I would say go get a blood test to make sure..I just went in yesterday and got one..I was sure i was pregnant eventhough i was bleeding.I had just stopped BCP's lastmonth had af that lasted 2 days and then BD when i was suppose to..I was sure i was pregnant..Had all the signs..Then AF this month came a week early and i was thinking maybe i was still pregnant..The blood test confirmed that i wasnt..Goodluck to you though...
