Could I be pregnant

[disneymad85]

Hello there

Was just wondering if there is anyone out there in a similar situation.

I came off the mini pill 6th December as we want to try for baby number 2. We DTD on the 18th and this morning I have thrown up. I also have a mild pain in my right side, it's not a cramp more like a focused dot of pain like an internal bruise and can feel it when I bend and cough.

Could I be pregnant so soon after stopping the pill and would I already have symptoms?

Also if we had DTD a day or so before stopping the pill could that result in pregnancy if the sperm can live for 4-5 days.

Just to give some background I had only been on the pill for 9 months this time round and when I conceived DS1 we fell pregnant in 2 months after being on the pill for 14 years.

Thank you

It's difficult to say. With the mini pill you can ovulate pretty soon after stopping it but it seems unlikely (not impossible) that you'd ovulate quickly enough to get caught out by DTD a day or so before you stopped taking it.

If you were pregnant from ovulation around the 6th-9th of December you'd be 18-21DPO or 4-5 weeks pregnant. It's reasonably rare anyone has morning sickness that early on (but not impossible).

If you were pregnant from DTD on the 18th then in theory you'd be 6DPO at most so very very unlikely to be feeling any symptoms.

You definitely could be pregnant, but I would guess you probably ate something dodgy or have picked up a tummy bug from somewhere.

Good luck with TTC 🤞. If you want to rule out pregnancy then it's best to take a pregnancy test now, and then another one in a week if you've not had a period.
