HELPPP!! I'm very worried that I might be pregnant! I'm 20 yr old college student and I was taking BC for about 4 months until this month when I decided to not take them any more. Me and my boyfriend only had sex a couple of times but they were around times I might have been ovulating. I heard its hard to get pregnant right after you take birth control but I been getting a whole lot of pregnancy signs like large boobs [A cup to C cup!], lower back pains, slight head aches and light headedness, small abdominal pains, acne [which I never have] and heart palpitations [which I also never have]. If I did get pregnant id be almost 4 weeks.

The real problem is that I don't know when to take a pregnancy test:confused: . Before I was on BC my periods ranged from 29-33 days and on BC they were 28 days. So far I have taken about 5 test and they all have been negative and it 29 days past my last period! My BF thinks its all in my head but I can't fit any of my bras anymore! Has this happened to anyone? When would I get my period after BC? How should I go about this?

You need to get a pregnancy test to make sure you are/aren't pregnant. We can't really diagnose properly over the internet regardless of what your symptoms are. My guess is you are but only a pregnancy test will give you the answer. Go to the drugstore and get the test and find out for yourself and stop guessing!

Also, you could go to the doctors and have a blood pregnancy test done as that is much more sensitive than the home pregnancy tests can be.

Your symptoms could be pregnancy related, but those aren't particularly common in early pregnancy, but more toward the 2nd trimester.

If you suspect you'd be 4 weeks, now IS the time to test. If its negative, confirm with a doc - that should be accurate enough to ease your fears.

Note: going off birth control pills will also cause the symptoms you described because of the wide fluctuation of hormones after stopping the medication. I experienced them myself.
