THANKS LADIES FOR ALL THE COMMENTS ON THE OTHER QUESTION I ASKED THE OTHER DAY. DUE TO FACT THAT MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS HIGH I STOPPED TAKING MY BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FROAND IT HAS DROPPED DOWN TO NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN FEELING MUCH BETTER FROM THAT. I JUST HAVE NOT TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT I HAD STOPPED TAKING THEM. SINCE I HAVE FIGUERED THAT OUT . NOW I JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME BEING SICK TO MY STOMACH FOR THE LAST WEEK.

IT ALL STARTED AFTER MY PEROID SUNDAY NIGHT. MONDAY I WOKE UP WITH A SORE STOMACH,AND I WENT TO MY DAUGTHER'S (MY DOC THAT I HAD WHEN I WAS CARRING HER). THEY DREW MY BLOOD SO THAT THEY COULD DO A BLOOD TEST, AND THAT WAS NEG AND I HAVE TOOK SOME HOME PEGNANCEY'S TEST AT HOME AND ALL NEG. COULD IT BE TO EARLY TO TEST TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON .

I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS AFTER MY PEROID. i DONT KNOW IF I COULD BE PREGNANT OR NOT. I MEAN I GOT MY PEROID AND THEN WHEN IT ENDED I GOT SICK TO MY STOMACH. WITH MY DAUGHTER I WASNT SICK TO MY STOMACH IN TILL THE DAY AFTER OUR WEDDING AND I WAS ABOUT 12 WEEKS AT THAT TIME WITH HER.

ARE THESE EARLY PREGNANCY SIGNS OR AM I JUST LOOSING MY MIND ABOUT IT .
-SICK TO MY STOMACH
-BACK HURTS
-CRAMPING IN THE STOMACH
-WANTS TO SLEEP ALL THE TIME

ANY SUGGESTIONS LADIES. PLEASE

What can I do next?

For God's sake, PLEASE tell your husband you are not taking birth control. He has a right to know so he can be a part of any pregnancy prevention measures that should be considered. Tell him now.

I would try the doctor again, and ask for normal blood tests... NOT to determine pregnancy, but to see if anything else could be causing this. (I wouldn't rule out pregnancy yet... but it's worth checking out...) I don't want to scare you here... but my uncle had symptoms similar to this, IN ADDITION to noticing an area of his stomach that had a concentrated pain. It turned out he had Leukemia. The early detection is what saved his life. (I don't tell you this because I think it's your situation... or to scare you... just so you know that stuff like this NEEDS to be checked out. Chances are that it won't be something so serious, MANY MANY things can have these symptoms attributed to them... but it's always best to know what's going on than to let it go...)

It could just be that your body is recalibrating after stopping birth control. It usually takes a couple months to re-adjust.

Also... (I don't mean this in a rude way...)PLEASE don't write in all caps... it's annoying, makes it hard to read, and gives me a headache... :P

Yes, you could possibly be pregnant, even if you had a period since you stopped the pill. You could also be experiencing a quick change of hormone levels in your body, which can give you all sorts of symptoms, some of which could be similar to pregnancy.

But you MUST tell your husband you are off the pill. He must have the opportunity to use condoms or help make other decisions about avoiding pregnancy. You two are a team, and will both be responsible for any baby that arrives in the world through the two of you. So keep him informed – imagine how you would feel if HE brought a baby home for you to help care for, without telling you of the possibility.

I hope that any decisions you are making about whether or not to continue any medication are also with a doctor's advice.

Good luck.

you could just have the flu. why automatically think pregnancy? you want to sleep because you're sick. your back could hurt from being in bed so much. stomach cramps could be the bowel cramping up. there are alot more possibilities other than pregancy. could be a virus in the bowel. get back on your birth control, go back to your regular doctor, not the ob, and get some regular testing done.
meanwhile ~ clear liquids only, no milk or dairy products. rice, applesauce, bananas, maybe crackers, tea, etc.

All things point to the possibility of a pregnancy. You can pretty much get preggo at any point in your cycle. yes even during your period it is possible. You could also be experiencing a hormonal change. Which can lead to feeling knocked up. All three of mine start a bit different. I had sick tummy and felt sleep deprived through all of them. My sister had horrible symptoms that lead to a miscarriage. The doc took blood. Alot of blood. Everytime but the time she was actually going through the miscarriage it came up neg. every stick she pee'd on was the same way.

I am not saying that is what is happening to you. Just know you have a few things stacking up one. you feel like junk and you dont know why two. you have taken many tests and had blood drawn..yuck and painful. I would let your body rest for a week and then start testing again. It maybe that taking the pill out of the picture is your arrow on the target and your bady is just trying to adjust. I was on BC on and off. I could never stay on one long. I would start getting headaches like it was no bodies business. I would try and medicate through them and nothing worked. Hence why I have three beautiful surprises...

Hang in there mama. I hope if it is just body symptoms from body changes you can get on with them and get over it. If it is a baby YAY!! if you are scared it is ok. I dont know a mama yet that was not terrified. You have had the pants on before..they will slide on again just great!!

I don't understand why you would deceive your husband and let him think you are still taking birth control pills. He has just as many rights/responsibilities in planning for a pregnancy.
