For the past couple of weeks I have been feeling funny. Because me and my husband are Trying to conceive, he has asked me to stop taking my bcp's. I completed a pack in February and had a period on March 3rd, and was supposed to have had my next period on April 3rd. Well, it hasn't came yet. Maybe about 2 weeks ago, I spotted a light pink color when I wiped, and has had a funny smell when I "potty". Lately my boobs have meen hurting a little, tinglig, I have been cramping, and kind of bloated and gassy. For the past week I have been constipated as well. Any time during the day or night, I getpush and pulling sensations... Today when I wiped myself, it was a lot of clearish-yellowish discharge and when I wiped a couple more times, it was a light pink color, but just a little tiny bit... what could all of these symptoms mean? Could I be pregnant?

It's possible, but some women will find their cycles are off a bit for a few months once they stop birth control pills, so it could be your body adjusting to the change in hormone levels. You could try a pregnancy test and see what results you get. If negative, wait and see what happens next month when you would normally be due. Since you are trying to become pregnant, continue with good choices of taking care of yourself. If the discharge continues to be yellowish, and has an unusual smell, you may want to see your doctor to rule out any sort of infection as well. You can also use that visit to discuss your goal of becoming pregnant and obtain information that can be helpful.
