writes:my boyfriend and i have been together for about 7 months now, and have been sexually active. this is my first month off the pill after being on it for 3 months, and since i went on the pill, we have not been using protection. i have been really tired, dizzy, emotional, i have been experiencing nausea, sore breasts, lower back aches and lower abdominal cramping since a few days after my last period, which has been weird and light for the past 3 months now. could i possibly be a couple months pregnant and not know? or just gotten pregnant? oh, and my period is due tomorrow. any advice?

 i think the symptomsyour having could just be because of not taking the pill as it can play havoc with ur emotions make you tired ect,but to be safe id say do a test even if your period comes tomorrow especially ifits lighter than normalbecause yes it could be a sign your early pregnant,

 The most reliable source for this topic is a pregnancy test as you've been told numerous times. It could just be a hormones you're not used to. (:

We are not doctors here and we don't know how your body would normally react to going on the pill or coming off it. What you are experiencing could very well be side effects of you taking the pill however it could also be pregnant - where sex is involued, there is also a risk of babies. So ease your mind and get tested or have a word with your doctor. Better to seek answers than sit there worrying.

 Going on and off the pill screws up your hormones awfully. If you've been having them, you're not preggers. Your period tomorrow may be a day or two late even if you're not pregnant.
The pill works by using synthetic hormones to actually "trick" your body into thinking it is already pregnant, so it does not get pregnant "again". It also forces your body to have periods at a precise time, rather than having the natural variability of one or two days that it otherwise would. The side effects of going on and off this hormone in a short time sound about like what you are describing.
A morning after pill will make the symptoms much worse, and will by now be too late to prevent a pregnancy anyway. Go to an OB/GYN and get checked out.
Are you still having unprotected sex? If so, you're going to get pregnant soon. Should go without saying, but the post was unclear.

 my advice is that you wait until tomorrow, if you don't get your period, then go get a home pregnancy test. you will know if you're pregnant if its positive. if its negative then wait a week if you still don't have a period and take another one. if its negative still then make a doctors appointment, you can have a false negative
