Ok, so here's the deal. I want to know if there's a chance I could be pregnant. I think there is, but I want to be sure. Because if there is, I need to make some changes. And fast. Here's the background story:

I went on birth control about a month after having my son. I was on it steadily until this past month, so I was on it for about 5 months. This month I went to get my prescription refilled and the pharmacy was closed. I had to wait until the next day where they told me that my insurance wouldn't cover it and the Medicaid system was down. So I had to wait two more days to get it and by that time, I would have had to take the pills in the pack until sunday and then get a new one. My pharmacy won't give me a new one though because it was not the end of the month. So I couldn't take my birth control this month and I can't start it again until I get my next period.

The Here and Now:
Needless to say, my boyfriend and I do not use condoms. We're used to me being on the birth control. I did not hide the fact that I'm not on BC this month from him, but we still didn't make a very good effort to use other protection. Now I'm having some pregnancy symptoms. My breasts are sore, I'm getting dull cramps in my lower stomach, I'm getting nauseous relatively easily (especially when I think of mac & cheese, my favorite food, or when I smoke), I'm getting headaches a lot, I'm tired all the time, and I seems to be peeing a lot.

The Question:
Is this probably a pregnancy or all in my head or just symptoms from coming off the birth control?
 
Well, does it feel like the first time you got pregnant? Most girls who've had a baby tend to pick up on the symptoms better the second time round, or so I've heard.
It's really stupid that they wouldn't give you your pill, but regardless of their error you should really have made a better effort to use condoms, they're given out for free in most places so there's no excuse =/
Sorry, I know you didn't post asking for a lecture but as a mother already you should surely be even more careful, knowing the risks even more than most?
 
And yes, of course it could've happened, if you've been having sex there's ALWAYS a risk, unprotected sex there's an even greater chance.
If your period is late, test. If you don't know if it's late, test, then test again in a week.
 
My period is due December 4. And I didn't ever have any symptoms with my son, so I wouldn't even know what any of them felt like. The only symptom I had was a missed period. But since I haven't missed mine yet, I can't go by that. And I know you're not trying to lecture. It's okay. I know we should have been more responsible about using protection. That is definitely our mistake. Thanks for your replies.
 
well if your period isn't due til' the 4th unfortunately all you can do is wait and test
 
I think it's definitely too early for symptoms as you're not even due on your period.
Relax and wait for December 4. :)
 
there is a risk of being pregnant
 
There's definitely a risk of being pregnant.. I was on the pill when I was pregnant!


Nothing but abstinance is absolute:)
 
Well if you and your boyfriend are having unprotected sex then of course theres a chance your pregnant!
DO A TEST!! Thats the only way your gunna know!
 
You could be pregnant, but it could also be your body adjusting to not being on the pill as if your period isn't due until 4th it's quite early to be having lots of symptoms x

sooooooo true lol.

If you don't come on when your period is due take a test
 
Only way to find out is to do a test. Wait till the 4th and if ur period hasnt came then do a test, now a days most tests can tell nearly straight away, its quite kool, lol. Safes u worrying for all those weeks. xx
