Pregnant or just bigger..

Hi, just a quick question.
My belly has been bloated for a few months now and keeps getting bigger.
My lower abdomen feels somewhat hard. I'm showing a lot of pregnancy symptoms but haven't been late on my period (I should be getting my period in a few days, but that could also be due to the pill). When I stand, my belly is completely tight, but when I sit or lie down, you can grab it (especially when sitting). I'm really doubting myself. I look like I'm 3 or 4 months pregnant, and if that's the case, it must be because of the pill. Sometimes I feel some movement, but I can't say for sure what it is.
But the question is: Am I just getting fatter or am I pregnant? What do you all think?

    I’d do a test just to be sure.
    Good luck

    Well, I'm only going to take a test if I'm overdue. So I'll wait a few more days..

    So I'm in my break week now, so it's wait and see if I get my period... I've heard that you can get your period while pregnant, so I'm curious. My belly just looks pregnant.

    Bleeding during the pill-free week is caused by the pill. It doesn't tell you whether you're pregnant or not. A test is the only way to know for sure. That's what I got from my gynecologist.

    What anon says is true..
    If you've been pregnant for a while already, you can safely take a test now. If you'd only just become pregnant this month, you wouldn't have a big belly yet, so you can't test 'too early'.

    I also got fatter while using my pill. Tests remained negative, I gained over 10kg and had a bigger/harder belly. Eventually had an ultrasound after 3 months, because the bleeding in the pill-free week didn't start anymore: nothing wrong!
    Now it turns out I have PCOS and apparently this often occurs with it, so I was told.

    Just take a test, and if you keep feeling so 'weird', go to the GP for a bit.

    Yeah, I think that’s the best way to go.. I’m just hesitating right now.

    No, not yet. I think I'll only get one this weekend. I have long working days and am very tired in the evenings, and the same goes for my partner. I can't wait but I'm really only finishing up late. That's why.
