Pregnancy Mystery

[SweetheartSalzer]

Hello everyone, on May 25th I missed my period while on birth control; I took myself off it because I figured it had caused me to skip. 3 days off the pill and I spotted for around 24 hours... But not long enough to be a period. Now it's been 2 weeks since that and I have many odd symptoms (I have been having unprotected sex with my husband every day) which are nausea, headaches, bloating, sore stomach, sore breasts, etc.
I have taken a few HPT since I skipped that period on the pill... But they're all negative.
I'm confused, I've already missed a period and I have all these annoying symptoms... But the HPT still shows up negative. Is it possible I still might be pregnant?

I had them for almost 2 months, VERY annoying! But I got pregnant 3 months after stopping BC, so it's possible if you're ttc!

I was only on the pill for 3 months, so how long should i expect these symptoms to persist? (I've had them for over a month now.

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and it did, so mine was the lowest dose of hormone possible in a BC, it's just all about how your body reacts to coming of from it.

[SweetheartSalzer]

My PCP said that my BC shouldn't give me any symptoms like that, since it was such a low dose of hormones. I have an appt coming up at which I'll inquire to see officially if I am or not.
I'm hoping I am.

When you change a BC routine, or miss multiple, it will give you EVERY symptom of pregnancy, it's ridiculous, when we stopped taking BC to try to get pregnant, I would have swore I was pregnant because of all the symptoms I was getting, it turned out my body was trying to adjust to the change. If you're getting a negative HPT, it's doubtful you're pregnant!
