I went off the pill because we are trying to have a baby. I noticed my lower abdomen swelling and menstrual cramps. Do I need to take a test?

Hello Ma'am,

If you think you might be pregnant, you can do one of course!

If the pill was stopped less than 4 weeks ago though, the risk of pregnancy is very low today so I would wait a few more days.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
