Stopped Birth Control, Experiencing Sore Nipples, Bloating, And Back Ache. Is It Pregnancy Or Side Effect Of Medicine?
I stopped birth control (after being on it for 4 years) mid pack on April 17. On the 22nd I had some bleeding (fake period). I ovulated 2 weeks after and should be getting my period next week. I am currently experiencing sore nipples, bloating, and back ache. Could I be pregnant in the first month after coming off my medicine? Or is this all side effects from coming off the medicine?

HELLO
OVULATION RECOVERING AFTER USAGE OF BIRTH CONTROL PILLS HAS A WIDE RANGE. IN SOME WOMEN OVULATION OCCURS IN A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS AFTER STOPPING THE PILLS. HOWEVER IN SOME WOMEN IT MAY TAKE MONTHS FOR THE OVULATION TO OCCUR.
PROLONGED USE OF PILLS FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS AND WOMEN WITH HISTORY OF DELAYED CYCLES MAY HAVE A DELAY IN OVULATION.
