Symptoms coming off pill or pregnant?

I took my last pill in the last week of Nov and apart from the initial bleed haven't had a period yet.

Last week, I noticed that my breasts were fairly tender/sore and my tummy was also feeling a bit heavy - similar to when I usually feel a period coming on.

I'm thinking that what I've felt recently is due to my hormones adjusting to coming off the pill (for the first time in 10+ years) but I have been wondering whether I could be pregnant (which would be very welcome)? These feelings have subsided over the past few days and I feel relatively normal right now.

We had unprotected sex in the first week or so after my coming off the pill so I'm thinking it's technically possible.

Would be grateful for any feedback. Thank you!

I came of the pill a few months back after being on it for many years and after the initial bleed it took much longer than I expected to have a period (5 or 6 weeks after the initial bleed i think). Since then my cycles have varied from 24 days to 33, which I'm assuming is down to my body settling back to normal as I always had regular periods before.

My PMT symptoms have likewise been all over the place which has been quite confusing. So I guess your body could still be adjusting.

That's not to say you're not pregnant though - like you say it's not impossible! And I've heard some people say their regular cycle came back almost straight away.

thanks ceebs05. I guess I need to be patient to let things settle down in their own time.... not something I am very good at!
