Man, I thought vacation would be the best thing for me. 10 days away from home and all the normal stress. Until I realized I forgot my birth control pills...
I was 4 days into a new pack when I stopped taking them (May 1st). I had a "forced" period May 4th - 6th.. heavy, but very short. I had a lot of intercourse while on vacation.. the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 9th. No protection.
I've felt really "funny" since then-- no nausea, but increased appetite and weird stomach-y feelings. Cramps, oh lord the cramps! (I only recently started having mild cramps along with my periods.) I had one incident of "spotting" -- light brown/pinkish blood that could only have lasted a couple hours. I've had dizzy spells in the last day or two, and have been so tired, and sleeping all the time! Also, an increase in clear/white discharge--nothing alarming, just noticeable. My boobs seem "normal".. had a breast augmentation last July--so they are big and veiny to begin with.. sigh.
If my cycle were "normal" I would be having a period on the 18th.. But since I was on BC pills, and now I am not, I have no idea what to think.
I was never very exact with taking my Pill, so all bets are off. Obviously, I was not TTC, but welcome a baby nonetheless.
I feel as if I should be testing for pregnancy... I could wait until Monday or Tuesday (after my period "should" start), but I hear so many stories of women getting positive results sooner..
I'm anxious now!! Any advice?

you can get a positive result sooner, but some women don't. it's best to wait two weeks after the last time you had sex. that's when you should get a pretty accurate result. good luck. take care.
