Question: Hi,
19 days ago I stopped taking the oral contraceptive pill XXXXXXX in order to allow my body to fall into a natural cycle and plan a pregnancy. I did this in time to get my period as per usual. On day 11 and 12 of my cycle my partner and I had completely unprotected sex and now (7 days later) my uterus feels extremely heavy. The same feeling as I do a day or two prior to getting my period. I have also had minor cramping in my abdominal and uterus. I am not sure if this is a side effects of coming off XXXXXXX or if Its the very early signs of pregnancy? I cannot find any information which indicates that it's due to coming off the pill, however I have heard this to be a symptom of early pregnancy. I cannot use a pregnancy test until day 10 in order to get an accurate reading and as many women do, I'm finding the waiting game frustrating. Some insight would be great. Thanks

I have never experienced a 'heavy' feeling uterus as a premenstral symptom before, nor any other symptoms apart from tiredness. Is it common to feel exagerated pms symptoms before the FIRST NATURAL period, after coming off the pill? My period (if on time) is due in 11 days. As I said, Iv never felt anything like this and not sure if it is even a 'normal' pms symptom for other women. Please try to be as insightful as possible. The last post was rather vague. Thank you.
