Hi,

Welcome to HCM. Since you have stopped taking birth control pills and had unprotected intercourse last month, the symptoms that you are experiencing can be because you are pregnant. You should have a urine test for pregnancy done. You should use midstream urine of the early morning. Early morning, mid stream urine is the best for detecting HCG, a hormone found in the urine in pregnancy.

You can visit your gynae and have it done with the other routine blood tests. You can also do a pregnancy test yourself using a pregnancy kit.

Consult your gynae and take care of your diet. Take care.
