A member asked:

What will be the differences in pregnancy symptoms on and off birthcontrol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably none: You can have no, few, or many of the common pregnancy symptoms both on and off the birth control pill. During pregnancy you have high levels of estrogen and Progesterone - the ingredients in a birth control pill.
