Can Flu Like Symptoms Be Related To Birth Control Or Pregnancy?
I recently stopped taking birth control and have had 2 cycles since, last period was Aug 22-28. A few days ago I started feeling as if I was catching a lil cold. Sneezing, runny nose, itchy throat, spitting cold.. Today I'm coughing till I gag and I woke up with cramps. Could I be pregnant?

Hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum.There is no relation of birth control with flu like symptoms.Your history looks like upper respiratory tract infection that why you are having flu like symptoms.I usually prescribe my patients antihistaminics and some antibiotics.For the confirmation of pregnancy you get an urine test done.Then consult a gynecologist.She will guide you accordingly.take care.
