Have Cramps, Hot Flashes, Weight Gain. Had Unprotected Sex. Missed Pill. Pregnant?
So the end of last month I missed my last birth control pill and had unprotected sex that day. The next day I got what I thought was my period but it was abnormally short and light. Since then I ve been gaining weight, experiencing what seem to be hot flashes, I ve been abnormally moody, and I have mild cramps . Could I be pregnant?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As that was the last day of your birth control pills, the chances of pregnancy is less.
The bleeding you had could be withdrawal bleeding due to missing the pill.
The symptoms you are experiencing are also could be due to withdrawing the pills.
You better wait till your expected date of periods and if you miss the date, go for pregnancy test once to rule out the possibility.
Take care.
