What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy If Stopped BC, Had Unprotected Sex And Having Early Pregnancy Symptoms?

I finished my last pack of birth control pills when I started my cycle in January. My husband and I are trying to conceive and I am so anxious to know if I am pregnant. The first day of my last mentrual cycle was 1/23/14. Is it possible for me to be pregnant even if I haven't had my first normal cycle after ending birth control? We had sex on 2/2/14, 2/6/14, and 2/9/14. I have be feeling weird like I may be pregnant. I have cramping on one side, slight nausea, tenderness in my breast and discomfort when my bladder is full. If I have conceived, this will be my third pregnancy, my youngest child is 5. When is the earliest I can test by urine and blood? Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for the query. It is possible to get pregnant even before you get a normal cycle after stopping birth control pills. You have not even missed your period yet so it is very early to say if pregnancy has occurred. The breast discomfort, nausea and tenderness are non specific. They may be due to pregnancy or even premenstrual syndrome that occurs in some women before menses.

The earliest that pregnancy can be detected is by a blood test after about 28-30 days or just around the missed period and by a urine test 7-10 days after the missed period.

Please do not be so anxious. You have been through all this. Just relax. I suggest that you start tablet folic acid as it helps in the babies brain development.

Hope I was able to help you. Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
I would be happy to answer any further queries.
Have a nice day and take care.
