I'm taking Diane 35 for the past 3 months and when my partner and I decided to have a baby, i stopped using it. In one pack i only used 5pills then i stopped it. Right after that, we have unprotected sex for 4 consecutive days. After 5 days i had that what they so called withdrawal bleeding (effect of stopping pills). Now i'm 6 days late. I used a HPT 4times but all negative. We havent had sex since then. I had i think a spotting last 15 (the day i should gotten my period) but it only lasted for 2 days i think. It was very light and that time my breast sore. Now i sometimes feel nauseous and irritated. Other than that i dont have any symptoms of pregnancy. Ah yes, sometimes a mood swings.

Can anyone help me? I read a lot of forums regarding this. I hope someone out there is in the same boat.

Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
The symptoms you are experiencing are common when coming off birth control pills. It does not necessarily mean you are pregnant. Common symptoms can include:
--mood swings
--nausea
--breast tenderness
--irregular bleeding and disruption of menstrual cycle
--weight gain
--acne

Your best chance of getting pregnant will occur if you have intercourse while ovulating. Since you just got off the pill however, it may take a little while for your natural menstrual cycle to return to normal. But when it does, ovulation usually occur about 12-15 days before your period.

Below I have pasted a link to a HER article that talks more about what symptoms to except when coming off birth control pills.

Thank you for your reply. I want to elaborate it so you can fully understand. Here it is.

My last period started last Jan 19(tuesday) and ended jan 22(friday, same date i started my new pack of pills) on the 4th day(jan 26) of pack i stopped and have sex last jan 27, skipped on 28, had on 29 and 30. I saw in my period tracker that Jan 30 was also my ovulation day. Jan 31 to Feb 1 i had a bleeding and I think that was a withdrawal bleeding and normal for those who stopped bcp in the mid pack.

I am now 6 days delayed. Havent had sex since then. Feb 15 (same date i should gotten my period), i had a light bleeding and i think that was spotting. I cant even full a panty liner. It lasted on feb 16 and became lighter than the first one. I also had a tender breast in the same date.

My partner thinks that im pregnant but i took 4 HPT and it was all negative. Other than that i sometimes feel dizzy, nauseous, tired, sleepy and irritated. I crave and eat a lot now and i think i increase weight.

Is this because i'm pregnant or my period is about to start or is this because i stopped bcp? I really dont know which. I hope you can answer my questions. Thank you so much!
