hello ladies!

i have been thinking am PG for a month now, several so called symptoms, but AF came 2 weeks ago, but was a day late, and really light, and stopped early. i was on the pill, but stopped taking it this month, because i want to know if symptoms are side effects from the pill or not. symptoms are still here. also, my very lower abdomen has been rock hard for a while now, and within the last week and a half, it has gotten rounded, and now i can tell just from looking that it is sticking out a bit, because that area has always been very flat, and almost curving in. i have taken 3 HPT's, and all are neg. So i have decided that if im not PG, i must have a tumor. thinking about calling Dr. and asking whats up. do any of you have any imput at all? any insight would be greatly apprieciated.

Thanks so much!

Hi Pixie. How long were you on the pill for?? I know from experience that the pill can, and most likely will, give you a lot of pregnancy symptoms. Especially right when you go off of it. I was convinced for weeks that I was pg back in march. I had EVERY stinkin symptom in the book. Then AF came. So just keep an open mind with it. I went off the pill in August for kind of the same reasons. To make sure there weren't other things going on with my body. My last period was 2 weeks late, and then it was a terrible one. Now here I am, 3 months later (After stopping the pill), wondering if I am pregnant. (Although my bf and I had unprotected sex the week of the big O. So I very well could be. I am supposed to start this friday, so we will just see!!!

Did you take your bc properly?? Everyday at the same time??

When do you expect your next period? Its hard to tell once you get off the pill.(from my experience anyways) What other symptoms are you having???

Talk to you soon....

thanks for responding sasweet79.

i have been on the pill for almost a year and a half. And although i didn't miss any pills, there were a few times that i took it a few hours late, around the time when if i did ovulate, i would have. and i was on alesse, which is a very low doseage, and i was warned by my nurse to be sure and take it at exactly the right time. ok as for symptoms:

-bad headaches (i never get headaches)

-dizziness

-hunger/ then nausea

-VERY tired

-extreamly moody

that is just the main part of it, which i know can be caused by the pill. But the big thing is, why is my lower abdomen so hard? and why is it getting round and bigger? i have been having light cramping down there also, and it just feels differant, sort of like butterflies. i have had problems before on the pill with symptoms of PG, but they never felt like this. i dont know, maybe its just all in my head, but it sure would be nice to know POSITIVELY whats wrong with me. well anyway thanks for all of your imput!
