Okay...here goes. I was on birthcontrol for a while, but then got off of it because of the effects it was having on my personality and such. Not to mention the forty pounds I gained within a year of being on it. I have had sex twice in the past month...and I used condoms (the kind with spermicide on them). When I wasn't on the pill my period was irregular...very irregular and I noticed that my periods have been spacing further and further apart. I am about two weeks late and took a pregnancy test and it said that I am not pregnant. What do you guys think?? When should I take another one to make sure?? What do you think the chances of me being pregnant are?? Please help....

Help Please!!!

Well if you've been irregular in the past then most likely your period is being irregular now. If you used a condom and it didn't break then I wouldn't worry about. What pill were you on? I fail to believe that any birth control would make you gain 40lbs.
-
You used a condom, have a history of irregular periods, and came up negative on a pregnancy test? You're not pregnant.
-
Well, it did make me gain weight...but it was because there was too much estrogen in the pills. That is what my gyno told me at least...some of it probably had something to do with him switching me back and forth from different types also. I just can't take Ortho of any kind...or Yasmin. :frowning:

Okay...here is an update to my situation. Still no period...I took another test and it said I am not pregnant. Although I have been feeling very tired lately and it seems like I am always naseated and cant sleep....what do you think??
-
You've had irregular periods in the past. Most likely it's hormonal. Both pregnancy tests came back negative and you used a condom. I wouldn't worry.

This is my last update until I go to the doctor on Wednesday. I still havent had my period and have now taken three pregnancy tests that came back negative...still with no sign of my period in sight. I have went a month without having my period before but never two months. I am also not having any type of "symptoms" so I am worried something is wrong. But like I said I am going to the doctor on wednesday and maybe I will know something soon. I am worried though...I hope nothing toooooo serious is wrong.
-
Have you been on a severe diet to lose weight?
-
Like I said before, it's probably hormonal and nothing to worry about.
-
No I havent been on any extreme dieting or anything. Everytime I try to diet....cheeseburgers just start sounding better and better lol.

Okay, I went to the doctor yesterday and she told me everything looked normal...and it was most likely stress. She gave me birth control to start taking on Sunday. She asked me if I thought I was pregnant and I told her no, and she asked if I had taken a test and I told her three...and when I took them. So, she said that for some reason I just hadnt ovulated. So, I am going to start my birth control this weekend and wait to here back from her about my PAP. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it comes back normal.
-
A pap smear isn't going to really show anything to as why you're not getting your period. An ultrasound or a transvaginal exam is a better indicator.
-
The reason I said to keep your fingers crossed is I am hoping that the pap doesnt come back irregular. This is only my third one and every time I am on pins and needles....
-
Why would it come back irregular? Young women don't necessarily need one every year.
-
Well, most doctors wont let you have birth control if you dont get one every year.
