Hi, I've been on the pill since I was 15, I'm 22 now. I recently got married and I stopped the pill on December 16th. At that time I got my period for 4 days which is normal for me. Since then I have had unprotected sex 2-3 times a week. I have yet to get my period since. To my own calculations that makes me about 16 days late. I've taken 2 pregnancy tests and they were both negative. I don't want to do anything that would compromise my baby at such an early stage but I don't want to miss out on things either if I'm not. How much longer should I wait until I see a doctor for a blood test? And/or how long until I just chalk my missed period up as me being irregular from birth control? Thanks.
8 weeks late for my period, all negative tests(blood and hpt). anyone every been pregnant and got all negative tests? or will is show up positive in another month?
Im new on here. My husband and I have been trying for several years to get pregnant and can't. We have had him tested and he's fine, I've been tested and i have polycystic ovarian syndrome and im a diabetic. We wer told not to try then they ok'd it? I have bben doing the clomid cycles since oct and still no luck. We have also went through everything for adoption through the state but havent got lucky yet. It's been a rough road for me physically and emotionally. We don't have any children and I want to experience the joys of being a mother and having a child to love. Anyone else out there that are having similar problems i would love to hear from you... It may help just to have someone who understands. Thank you so much
I have yet to read anyone that is experiencing my dilemma, so any input would be greatly appreciated an well received. My husband an I both have children from previous marriages, he has a 12 yr old son and I have 13 yr old twin girls. However we have been unable to concieve together an it has been 8 yrs..... Absolutely no idea why not. Thanks so much...
My husband and I are trying to conceive. I had been on the depo shot for 7 years after the birth of our first child and then stopped using this. I started having regular periods again. Then in May of 2011 I went back on it, but didn't go back for a second shot. I then again started having periods regularly. My last period was on Dec. 27th and they usually last for 5 days. This one went like this I bled on the 27th and 28th, stopped on the 29th, and then started bleeding again on the 30th and 31st. I had sex on Jan. 1st, 4th, and 6th taking that my ovulation day should have been around the 8th, I am having all the symptoms but I am scared of taking a home test due to getting a negative result. What should I do?
