Is this normal?

[MrsManning]

I stopped taking my pill (Microgynon) about a month ago because it wasn't suiting me. Since then, I've been a pleasure to live with (DH's words) instead of the psycho bitch he was used to (also DH's words!!)

Anyhoo, have come on since I stopped taking it, but that was about a month ago, so I'm due another anytime really. This past week, I've had terrible headaches, tender boobs and lots of discharge(sorry if tmi) and am just wondering if this is as a result of coming off the pill, or if I could be pg.

I never normally have any of these symptoms when coming on usually, but then again, with the pill, it's not really a true period is it, so the symptoms may be different?

I didn't know I was pg with DS until I was 20 weeks, so can't remember what the first symptoms of pregnancy were! I do feel really really queasy today and have done for a week or so - the smell of baby oil nearly made me sick this morning, which isn't like me at all.

I guess the best thing to do is to go and buy a test, but don't know if that's a bit of a daft thing to do if these are normal period-like symptoms.

Ok - are these symptoms you had when you were pg or when you were coming on?

Sorry for long post

Mrs Manning I think you already know the answer. All those symptoms mean you could be pg.
GO AND BUY A TEST!

i get those symptoms once a month , it could be your periods , but still get a test to put your mind at rest xx

second what everyone else had said however I came off Microgynon in Jan and noticed exactly the same effects as you describe. before my first period i felt pregnant. boobs were horrendously sore, felt sick, very bloated and had mild cramps. Then I had my period, the second month I felt fantastic even when my period was late. i have to say I felt more pregnancy symptoms coming off microgynon than in the second month when i was actually pregnant.

Get yourself a test for reassurance but to me the symptoms i had made me really think about what an affect that pill brand had had on my body!

I always find that coming off the pill gives me the WORST period pains/symptoms for the first couple of periods, tender boobs would definitely fit with what I felt coming off the pill, but equally I also got tender boobs when I became pg!

mrs manning how you now , did you get a test
