For the past week or so i have noticed that i have been putting on weight and that i have got a bulge on my lower stomach but i am normally thin. I have been getting period like craps in my lower abdomal. I have been feeling sick and dizzy and very tired. I have also been needing the toilet alot and having headaches. I have already had my period but it was 3 days late. Could i be pregnant or am i just going completely mad?
Hi honey! I can help you further with just a bit more information!

1. When was your last regular period?
2.. When did you have unprotected sex?
3. When was this last period and have you had these symtpoms since then and have you had unprotected sex since then?
4. Are your periods usually regular and the same length of time and amount of fluid?

Hiya!
I've just read your post & I have exactly the same symptoms, I've been taking birth control for nearly a year now but me and my partner felt that the side affects I was getting from them were really interfering with my life so we decided to stop. I asked around and I got the impression it was fine to just stop, so that I did ( about 12 days into a pack). Having my regular period in the 7/8 days before I started that last pack I felt everything was fine hence starting the pack in the first place. After stopping I gave it a week or so maybe a week and a half but having another talk we felt it was a good idea to start it up again after all it's better than being pregnant as we are both young. In that week and a half of stopping I found myself having what felt like another period, it lasted for about 3/4 days and was very heavy and from what I noticed brown ( sorry if it's a bit graphic). I've read somewhere that it could be "implantation bleeding" is it right that you can start ovulating straight away after stopping birth control?. Anyway I've had unprotected sex with my boyfriend both in that break and now again I've started a new pack ( about 7/8 days into it at the moment). I've noticed that I'm having all the above ^ symptoms and I'm 4 day's late on my "regular period" that I was having when taking the pill, I know that because I've stopped it might not be regular for a while so I'm not too worried but because I feel all the early symptoms of pregnancy I'm a little worried. Could this just be my body adusting to stopping and starting the pill!? very foolish I know but I'm taking it regular again.
Please help!
