Pregnant after stopping pill?

Just a quick question, if you come off pill and ovulate late, but you have a period (possibly caused by hormone withdrawal from stopping pill) could you still have a “period” type bleed when egg was being fertilised and then have it implant a few days after the period type bleed ended?

I say this because I came off BC in November and had a 19 day cycle before “AF” came again. I’m now on CD14 and having some serious pg symptoms I’ve only ever had when preg 🤔. Just wondering if there’s a chance I could be pregnant and still have had that “period” as my hormones are still evening out?

Test?

The scenario you suggest is unlikely unless what you had was implantation bleeding... and no one can tell you if that's what it was.

Coming off the pill causes major "pregnancy" symptoms in a lot of women, maybe even most, but its progesterone not HCG.

Take a test but from the sounds of it it's normal post pill hormonal adjustment.

I came off the pill, a few days later had a period for 3 days then 3 weeks later found out I was pregnant.
First symptoms was walking through the kitchen I work in and spontaneously retching.

@pollysproggle I was sitting beside a platter of sandwiches and felt really sick yesterday 😷. Going to test in the morning. Not expecting a BFP but just thinking out loud.

@QueenAravisOfArchenland I know the progesterone symptoms are horrible, I was on the POP pill and i felt like I was pregnant every month!
