Weird bleed now sickness?

Hey! I am new here, so do not understand all of the shorthand stuff (sorry if I refer to everything as exactly what it is) and sorry in advance for the LONG post.

Me and my husband decided it is the right time for me to come off the pill and add to our family when nature is ready to take its course. I came off the pill on Sunday 19th March - this was half way through my period which had started Thursday 16th March and ended Wednesday 22nd March.

On Friday 14th April I had the most horrific headache, then that same day started to bleed a bit. Day 1 medium (late in evening - pad needed), day 2 heavy (pad needed), day 3 medium (pad needed), final day slight spotting (pad not needed). This is super weird for me, as my periods usually last at least 6-7 days (if I'm lucky!! sometimes much longer).

Not only was I bleeding but I was so ill with it, for most of the long easter weekend (Friday to Monday). It started with the headache on Friday before the bleed, but then I started to feel very nauseous, tired and napped about 4 times and didn't want to eat anything.

A few weeks later now... So, I am never sick and I mean ever. If I am sick it's because I am feeling sick, but I have to physically make myself sick for the horrible sick feeling to go away (may I add this is not a regular thing!).

I was absolutely fine yesterday, not a care in the world and felt great. Last night I started to feel REALLY sick. Shortly after, I could feel sick coming, I ran to the toilet and was sick (involuntarily). I got back into bed, and dropped off (not sure how long for) then woke up and again, sick was coming.. ran to the toilet and was sick again. Got back into bed and finally managed to go to sleep. Luckily, I haven't been sick again. I didn't go to work today, I was so tired this morning and felt nauseas all day and haven't stopped sleeping.

Is there a chance I could be pregnant and have bled in the manor I did on 14th April? I did a test two days after I came off my period (19th April) and it was negative. Can breakthrough bleeding be heavy?

If that was breakthrough bleeding, is this around about the right time to be getting morning sickness? or is it likely I've got a strange bug that only made me sick twice and thats it?

To be honest, it doesn't sound likely that you are pregnant. Sickness is caused by HCG which is picked up by a pregnancy test, so if you're at the stage of being sick your test should be positive. Maybe try another test tomorrow and see though?

Hey,

Thanks for the response. I haven't done a test since being sick, the last test I did was the day after my bleed.

I think it's very unlikely I am pregnant anyway, so maybe I'll just wait and see if I get any sickness again.

Have just taken a test and it was a BFN, nevermind :( Did seem way too soon since coming off the pill!
