Hi...I stopped taking my birthcontrol pill on May 8th after taking it for 4 years straight and that's when I started my last period. My husband and I have not been having sex since right before I stopped taking the pill to avoid getting preggo. He is on a surf trip for two weeks and the plan is that when he gets back we will start trying for baby #2. Since Friday, I have been having sore boobs, nausea and serious back pain towards the late afternoons. Is this normal once you stop taking the pill? It almost feels like pregnant symptoms! I am FREAKING out because our insurance starts June 1st and the plan was to get pregnant then, not before that. I think we had sex like during the last week that I was on my pill, so I really doubt that I could be pregnant now. Any thoughts? I am due to start my period next Saturday, but in the meantime what do I do about the sore boobs and back pain?
um. What ? June 1st as in...tomorrow? So what if you are pregnant now...it doesn't matter. You won't even have a doc appt for weeks...I dont know why you are freaking out.
You probably aren't pregnant. You've had a baby before so you know that feeling when you "know" you're pregnant? It doesn't sound like you have it.
Try using a heating pad, even for your boobs! Also, hot showers like as hot as you can stand it.
It most likely is your hormons dealing with the change, it should even out after a few weeks (or a period or two).
You could be pregant but that is slim chance and it is more likely the hormon shift.
I kinda agree with Stephanie, if your insurance starts tomorrow, then it really is no issue that you're pregnant right now. They will still cover you and you don't even know if you are or aren't so it can't be listed as preexisting b/c you don't know.
It could just be your body getting used to not being on the pill, or you could be pregnant. I would wait a couple more weeks until you think your period should be coming and if you don't get it take a test, but most likely it's just your body adjusting.
You are probably not pregnant since you haven't had sex at the time you were ovulating. Sounds like you have PMS symptoms(what do you do every month to alleviate those symptoms??). If you are that worried then take a pregnancy test.
And June 1 is today and IF you were in fact pregnant you wouldn't have a doctor's appointment for several weeks. You should know this from having a child already so stop freaking out!
Sounds like a hormonal shift from going off the birth control. Hang in there.
