Post-Birth Control Pregnancy Concerns: Symptoms & Advice


Question
Hi, Norman. To start off my name is Courtney. My boyfriend and I are trying to have a baby. I just got off of loestrin 24 fe on monday july 26. I started the pack but only took two pills and stopped taking it. We had unprotected sex that wednesday and saturday, both times he ejaculated inside of me. Since then I have been experencing headaches, tiredness, and mood swings. I have been also having clear watery discharge, almost like i peed myself. My question is could I possibly be pregnant, or are my hormones out of whack?

Answer
Hi Courney,
I think your hormones are a little out of whack, assuming you've been on the loestrin for a while.  It often takes 2-4 weeks after stopping the pill for ovulation to occur.  Unless you got pregnant while you were on the pill, you're not pregnant.  I think your ovaries are starting to make hormones after resting while you were on the pill.  It usually just takes a little time for things to get back to normal.
