Question about getting pregnant and BC pill

Hi ladies, I'm not TTC, but I must admit that I do lurk on these boards for when we start TTc. My question is, can you get pregnant if you came off the pill, right after you had your period? Let me clarify: Had my period last week, was supposed to start pill last sunday, and didn't. Had sex Sunday night. Would it have been possible to get pregnant cause I didn't take the pill? And would I be experiencing pg symptoms 10 days later? I never did start the pill this month, so I have to wait for my next AF. I'm very crampy, and I felt like I was going to faint today. I almost threw up. I have also been sooo tired. What do you think?

I am not TTC'ing or a parent but I can tell you my OBGYN told me that you can be very fertile when you first come off the pill - if that helps any.

I think it depends on how your cycles are (short or long) and when you BD.
Your cycles may be a little off once you go off the pill so its hard to tell. It could be possible but usually it takes a little while before you would feel any symptoms if you were pregnant. Usually your window of opportunity to get pregnant is within a week or two after your first day of your AF.

It really depends on your cycle length, but I would say that's probably a little too close. When did your period end? What day of your cycle were you when you had sex? Some people do ovulate I think as early as day 10.

Anything is possible... I am one of the many on here who got preg. on the pill..(if that can happen I def. think you can concieve right after you stop taking them)

When I 1st got preg. I would cry every night of the exhaustion I was feeling... I wanted to quit my job, because I just couldnt handle it... and I couldnt understand why...one month later I found out I was pg. and it all made sense.... EVERYONE said well that explains your chronic fatigue...

As far as everything else goes... I didnt have any other symptoms... I was lucky...so I have no idea how soon they start to occur.
