What Can Cause Hot Flashes, Nausea, Bloating And Cramps?
i have been on the mini pill for about 2 years. i recently stopped taking them mid pack because i had been careless about taking them at the same time and missed a few pills. my last period was on jan 9. I had unprotected sex the 17th and the 20th. Had a withdrawl bleed(i suppose) for 3 days, which tapered off the 4th day with this weird brown color. I had sex again around the 26th and afterwards noticed a small tinge of pink (like a dot..unusal 2 me) and still no period now. took hpt feb 13th and it came up neg. i had frequent urination, hot flashes, nausea, serious bloating, on and off cramps, breast not 2 tender, small twinges in my stomach, and cant really tell if im truly fatigued (perscribed ambien last year). is this just side effcects from stopping the pill or possible pregnancy? no burning or itching when i urinate..dont think there is a uti.

Hello,
Your symptoms suggest a possible hormone imbalance since you have discontinued the pill mid-way. Return of ovulation can occur after one or two cycles and hence, there is a possibility of conception too if you happen to have had the intercourse around the day of ovulation. Home pregnancy tests read well when performed 3-7 days after the missed period with a fresh early morning sample of urine. In the current scenario, you should get a blood test for pregnancy followed by a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram for proper diagnosis. Hope this helps.
