Am I pregnant?

I've came off the progestrogen pill 3 weeks ago and had a very light 3 day period (unusual for me). The past few days I've had period pains but no period, tender nipples, more discharge than usual, lightheadedness and now heartburn which I never get. I've taken a test but it was negative. On my last pregnancy, for some reason the test did not show positive until I was 4 weeks pregnant and had some but not all of the symptoms above. Is it possible I'm pregnant but it's not showing up yet? Or is it a phantom pregnancy?
My periods are usually heavy and last 7 days but that one was light and hardly there at all.

P.s. When I'm about to get a period, I get a few pains and bloating the day before and then I bleed. So I know that it's not a period coming as it would be here by now. Plus my last pregnancy started with period pains and no bleeding and a few days later I had 2 positive tests.

too early to test. wait and try again in a week. women on an internet forum cannot tell you if you are pg. we are not psychic.

i know you want us to say that you are probably pg. but you know what? us saying that wont make it true. if you are pg, you wont be any less pregnant right now if you wait a while.

if you dont know, we dont know.

sorry for being harsh, but its true.

I want to apologise for being unnecessarily hard on you. (if i havent scared you away) I let my own issues interfere. I hope you get the bfp you want.

Coming off the Pill can cause hormonal symptoms so I 'm afraid you will have to wait and test.

My questions was 'is it possible I'm pregnant or could it be a phantom pregnancy?' Not asking people to tell me if I am, just asking other people's opinions. But that means I get your opinions- harsh or not. Still, was no need for that. Just asking advice. We're all on here for the same reason, what ever happened to moral support?

If you mean me, I wasn't meaning to be harsh, it just is Impossible to say IMO as coming off the Pill can mess with your hormones and cause all sorts of symptoms.

lissie apologised and was only being truthful, if a little blunt. And she has been very gracious and apologised for that.

Of course if you've had unprotected sex, you could be pregnant. That is just a fact of life.

I know you want to know and you're analysing every symptom but really there's nothing you can do but wait. It's frustrating but that's the way it is.

If you'd like moral support while ttc, perhaps join a conception thread. I found them brilliant back in the day.

your thread title is "am i pregnant?" I merely replied to that. I apologised for being harsh, but the fact is its possibel that you are pg, or your cycle could be all over the place after stopping the pill.

we cant give you any answers, you should see a gp if you are worried.

FanjoForTheMammaries- no I wasn't referring you to. Thankyou for your advice. Luckily there are some nice people out there who aren't bitchy. I've never had problems with the people on this site until now.
The rest of you- if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all. Weren't you ever taught that? No need to reply as I have joined a thread where women are supportive and kind and don't gang up on pregnant women.
