So I know there are a lot of people who post 'could i be pregnant?' questions on here so maybe I'm hopping on the bandwagon? My last period was September 29th. Over the past few days I've felt nauseated and extremely tired and have had headaches. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests and they all say negative. When should I test again? I recently went off birth control, what are my chances of conceiving within the first few months?
Well....you have obviously missed your October period, and here we are mid way thru Nov. It sounds to me like you could be having some pregnancy symptoms for sure. HPT's are not always trust worthy.
I would give my Dr. a call to see if he can give you a pregnancy test, or to save time, try another HPT in a week or so.
Some women can get pregnant right away after stopping their birth control, others take more time. Some reported that it took a few years. You may have gotten lucky :-D

I was on the pill before my second child...they say it can take upto a year to get your body back to normal but I had one period then 1 sexual encounter and was pregnant so I think it just depends upon the person.
I would say wait a while then do a test...I am trying at the moment too and I know how tempting it is to keep doing tests but if it is negative wait at least a few days & try to do it in the morning its more concenrated then!!

i know that i need to see a dr but i'd like to find out at home first that way i don't get my hopes too high. my period is due next week, if i don't start it'll be 2 months late. i feel so nauseous but rarely throw up and sometimes when i go to the bathroom it's like egg white--you know, the stuff that comes out during ovulation...is this a sign of pregnancy as well? oh and i've been more tired than usual...i'm really praying that i'm pg, i guess not knowing has been better than knowing. should i test again at home if i miss my period this month or just go on to the dr? guys, i really don't mean to run this in to the ground and i know a pt is the only way to tell but, i'm just so confused and my hopes are up so high...
my advice is to do a test and go from there.......I hate to say this but there is alot of reason not to have a period including stress and it does sound like you are stressing out a bit...
I went 8 months without a period after my 2nd child for no reason....I was checked for everything and they said they had not idea and it could be stress....I was not stressed but?!?!
fingers crossed U & me both want to get pregnant!!!

i haven't been stressing all that much until the past couple of days...at first i thought it was because i just came off of birth control but i'm still not having pms symptoms and i'm due next week. usually how long does it take for a female to get pregnant after coming off ortho-tri-cyclen.
and is clear/white discharge a sign of pregnancy? as well as headaches? i really don't mean to run it in to the ground, sorry guys!
good luck with ttc!
how long have you been trying?

I've only been trying a month but its only took that in the past so.... worried coz I'm older now.
I thought the discharge you have is a sign of fertility? I did read yesterday that if you body tries to release an egg but does not then you keep going through the discharge cycle until it does...you may still be at that stage? i dont know just what i read
also they do say you get more discahrge when pregnant but i dont think like that....you need progesterone to help the baby and the discharge is supposed to be more milky or white sticky or lotion [so i read]
I never thought i stressed but your body makes its mind up?!
some say it takes upto a year to get back to normal but it was quick for me after the pil so??? everyone is so so different just take a early test & see then do it every 10 days or so...if you get nowhere soon go to the Dr to get a check anyway?!
good luck hunny x
