i was on the pill norimin for 5 months, and the first time i tried to skip my period was in late feb. it didnt work well- i had a light period (or brown discharge) for the whole month until my next period came properly. i took my last pill on the 15th and my period came on the 17th (i would have started taking the inactive tablets on the 16th). i had unprotected sex a couple of days after my period finished and my boyfriend ejaculated inside me that time, and ive had unprotected sex a few other times since then but he's put a condom on before he ejaculated. (i know its not a valid form of birth control to use the withdrawal method or anything like that but we do not mind if we have a baby). how likely is it that i would be pregnant since its right after stopping the pill?? ive noticed a few things over the past 2 weeks which could be related to pregnancy: swollen/tender breasts, frequent urination, lower back pain, tiredness and bloating. but my period isnt due til the 17th so its too soon to take a test. i have this feeling its all in my head cos ive been told its really unlikely to get pregnant right after stopping the pill.
is this true????
thanks 2 anyone who replies, i really appreciate it!

Umm NO.

It is very LIKELY that you will become pregnant right after you come off the pill.

You actually HAVE to stay on the pill for protection, once you are off of it you can ovulate immediately, which is what needs to happen for pregnancy.
