I’d like to preface this question by saying that it is too early for me to take a homepregnancytest. The earliest I can take one is next Friday, 5 days before my missed period.
With that said, I have been experiencing what I can only equate to pregnancy symptoms for the past few weeks. I’ve had nausea, been urinating frequently, am bloated, and my breasts are more swollen than usual. Did I mention I’m ravenously hungry? I never gained weight on birth control, but now that I’m off it, I’m eating like there’s no tommorrow!
I recently got off Nuvaring birth control in the middle of last month, and soon after I used a questionable birth control method that could have failed. It’s definitely a possibility I could be preggers, but it’s also possible that my hormones are imbalanced after getting off the Nuvaring.
Anyone have any insight as to what’s going on with me? Serious answers from women, please.
You seem very educated(!) so I’m sure you know that each woman’s cycle is different! However, I’ll give this a try!
When I got pregnant, I had a similar phenomenon, I just knew I was! Many women say you won’t have symptoms for quite a while, however, to this day, I swear I had symptoms after just a few days! Especially sore and swollen breasts and bloating/frequent urination. So, I believe you!
Your symptoms seem to be consistant with either being pregnant, or just starting birth control. Since you said you just ended it, we know its not the later of these! Most birth control forms Add hormones, so by getting off of them, you would be lacking hormones (returning to normal hormones) so you wouln’t get these symptoms from less hormones.
If you had sex before you ovulated, some women ovulate on day 14, but many don’t, it is definately possible that you concieved when on your questionable method.
When was your last period? (Or, WAS it normal before you got on b.c.) How long are/were your cycles?
Good luck. Best thing is to just pay attention to your body in the next few days in terms of any spotting, or discharge. Then, test!
Presented in question-and-answer format, one of the most straightforward self-help books on fertility aims to help couples achieve or prevent pregnancy without using contraceptives. It advocates not the outdated rhythm method, but quick, daily examinations of cervical mucus and body temperature to ascertain when the few days of fertility occur. Winstein also covers the practical aspects of sexual …
1. The first sign that you may be pregnant is a missed period. If your period is delayed by a week or ten days, home urine pregnancy tests such as Velocit by Dr. Reddy’s (Rs. 40) are easily available in the market to confirm the pregnancy. One of the most popular ways to detect pregnancy is the urine pregnancy test. It works by detecting levels of hCG in the urine. home pregnancy tests are actually urine tests that can be performed in the privacy of your own home. Be sure to read the instructions included with the test before you use it. Pregnancy blood tests are performed at your doctor‘s office or health clinic. They detect pregnancy by measuring hCG levels in your blood.
Two dark lines show positive pregnancy, whereas one line shows negative pregnancy.
2. Breast tenderness. One of the very noticeable early signs of pregnancy is tender, swollen, somewhat sore breasts. When you become pregnant, your body begins preparing your breasts for producing milk and breastfeeding. Hormones start increasing. In addition to breast tenderness and swelling, your nipples may feel sore or extra sensitive. Some women notice their nipples darken in color. This is the first sign that I noticed apart from my missed period.
3. Just feeling pregnant. Many women believe they have an intuition about pregnancy signs. Maybe you just feel different; tired, moody, queasy, lightheaded. You may also have heartburn, constipation, or find yourself making more frequent trips to the restroom. Perhaps you feel a dull ache or stiffness in your lower back, you have sore breasts or they seem overly sensitive, or you are simply not feeling like your usual self.
4. Frequent trips to the loo. You will find that you are not “rushing,” but “running” to the loo in the initial days of your pregnancy. One reason of this pregnancy symptom is that the swelling uterus can put pressure on your bladder. Also, pregnancy causes extra body fluids to be processed by your kidneys and bladder. This symptom remains constant throughout the pregnancy.
5. nausea and vomiting. Many women experience nausea in the morning when they have eat something on an empty stomach. This is known as morning sickness. Other women notice nausea in the afternoon or evening. Others feel queasy all day. This pregnancy symptom may often be helped by eating smaller, more frequent snack size meals. Many women say salty crackers seem to be helpful. This is an early symptom of pregnancy that seems to show up about a month after pregnancy has begun. Some women do not have any nauseous feeling, some have it only in the initial 4 months, while some like me experience it throughout the pregnancy. All my neighbors would awaken with the howling sounds of me puking and then go to sleep hearing the same thing. I had to take medicines to stop the vomiting sensation in order for me to eat something.
6. Dizziness and/or Fainting One of the more surprising pregnancy signs is dizziness and/or fainting. Going upstairs, standing up suddenly after sitting for a time, or just standing at long time can make you feel light headed. You might even faint. As the uterus swells it compresses arteries in your legs. This can drop your blood pressure and make you dizzy. A regular early sign of pregnancy is that you can feel faint when you have gone a while without eating. This is due to low blood sugar, because that is your baby‘s main source of food. You want to eat frequent, healthy snacks to keep your blood sugar up. Stock up on portable lunch box foods you can take with you. Such as apples, bananas, grapes, yogurt cups, carrots and celery, cheese and crackers, small cartons of milk, juice boxes, etc.
7. Mood Swings and Irritability With all of these symptoms of pregnancy to deal with, along with raging hormones, you may experience some mood swings and irritability. There is also the emotional adjustment period to your new responsibility. Your world has changed. Even when your pregnancy is carefully planned, it is normal for your mind to suddenly be filled with questions about the timing, your career, finances, insurance, labor and delivery, motherhood, even the future costs of college. It is perfectly normal to feel mixed emotions, excitement and depression, joy and sorrow, laughter and tears. Your partner may be very confused by this and may not seem to be supportive. Explain that your mood swings are very normal signs of pregnancy and that you need support and understanding.

pregnancy problems cannot be ruled out during pregnancy. These problems could affect the fetus and the mother-to-be. Sometimes, a minor condition could easily develop into high risk. There are situations when the pregnant woman is exposed to radiations, chemicals, drugs, infections and substances that can cause birth defects in the newborn baby.
During pregnancy, some women experience more problems or pregnancy complications than others. A majority of them have morning sickness or suffer from constipation. The best way to tackle such situations is to get medical help as quickly as possible so that neither the mother nor the baby is harmed.
Here is a look at some of the most common pregnancy problems:
It is necessary to keep a check on the blood pressure. High BP is accompanied by protein in the urine. This usually happens between the 20th week of pregnancy and the end of the first week after delivery. Some women get headaches, swelling in the ankles and wrists, problems with eyesight and pain in the abdomen. Ignoring this can lead to a medical condition called eclampsia which is life-threatening complication. The usual advice for pre-eclampsia is bed-rest. The doctor may prescribe medication to lower your blood pressure. The baby is likely to be premature. However, after the baby is born, the mother gets better.
Vaginal Bleeding
One of the most dangerous pregnancy problems is vaginal bleeding and it is best to consult your doctor to find out why. Some reasons for vaginal bleeding could be:
*Miscarriage
*Ectopic pregnancy
*Placenta previa – placenta implanting in the lower uterus
*Placenta abruption – placenta separating from the uterus
*Vaginal infection
During late pregnancy, some women have a little bleeding and this is mixed with mucus. This is nothing to worry about as it means that the cervix is preparing itself for delivery. Many women who experience bleeding can very well have a successful pregnancy.
Itchy skin
It is common for pregnant women to experience itching of the skin. This happens because
there is an increased supply of blood to the skin as it stretches. But if it becomes acute itching, it is best to have your doctor check it, since it could be serious.
Gestational Diabetes
Temporary diabetes affects a few pregnant women. This is caused by inadequate production of insulin in the body, resulting in increased blood sugar levels. As a routine, urine tests are done throughout pregnancy. If there is high blood sugar, it can be identified during the 24th to 28th week of pregnancy. Often the doctor gives advice about how to keep sugar levels in check.
Some pregnancy problems that cannot be ignored are a sense of ill-being, fever, pain in the abdomen, swelling in the face, hands and eyes, problems with eyesight, painful urination, severe vomiting, an injury to the stomach, acute thirst with very little urination, acute headache, lack of movement from the baby after the twenty second week, etc.
The good news is that most pregnancy problems can be treated quite effectively.

It is important to predict your pregnancy due date so that you can make plans for the baby arrival. It is also important to have a good approximation of the due date so that you will know what signs to look for and what to expect in each of the three stages of pregnancy. It is important for your health and the health of the baby to know when the baby will be born. Doctors use an ovulation chart to help determine your due date. You have to know the date of your last menstrual period. By using the wheel of the chart, your doctor will then give you an approximate date. The chart works by adding 7 days to the date of your last period and then counting back three months.
You can also use a free online calculator to help determine when your baby is due. You also need to know the date of your last menstrual period to use this tool as well. All you do is enter the date and click the submit button to receive the due date result. When you use this calculator it is important that you know the length on your menstrual cycle. While the norm is that women have a period every twenty-eight days, some women have longer cycles than this. The calculator is based on a 28-day cycle, so if this doesn fit your profile, you will not get an accurate date. When you enter the date of your last menstrual period into a due date calculator, you must adjust the number for the length of the menstrual cycle. Like the doctor calculation, it is based on the belief that you conceived on the day following the end of your menstrual period.
When you choose a site that offers a due date calculator, you also get a wealth of information about pregnancy. Knowing the month in which you conceived can help you use the Chinese Pregnancy Calendar to predict the gender of your baby. You can follow along a month by month progession of the baby growth through the ultrasound pictures of a baby at each stage of development. This will help you understand what is happening inside your body. There is also loads of information about the stages of pregnancy and what you can expect in physical and emotional changes and how to deal with them.
These sites also have question and answer pages where you can get answers to questions that expectant mothers commonly ask. If you are in doubt about the accuracy of the answers, ask the same questions of your doctor. There is no doubt you will get the same answers. You can also access a pregnancy dictionary so that you learn the pregnancy terms that doctors and nurses use when talking about pregnancy issues. If you suspect you may have a problem with your pregnancy, you can also get information to help you on such a site. However, this doesn replace the advice of your doctor, but will help you understand that what you may think is an emergency may in fact be normal for a pregnant woman.
