Stopped birth control (no period) but HPTs are Negative Posted: 11-02-07 07:11am
I recently quit taking my birth control,
and I have missed two periods. I took an
hpt around the first missed period,
another two weeks after, and one just
recently....I know...overkill. They have
all come up negative, but I have never
been pregnant before so I am kinda
worried. Any help would be
awesome....thank you!

Go in and have the dr do a blood test. For
some pregnancies it doesn't show up on
home tests. I know someone who ended up
being pregnant by like 10 weeks by the
time they figured it out, the dr thought
she had mano (sp?) Are you trying to get
pregnant? Is that why you stopped taking
Bc?

No I'm not trying to get pregnant. In fact
this would be the worst thing to happen
right now. Thank you for
your advice. I will go in I planned on
doing that soon. Not trying to pry, but
how did they think it was mano? I don't
know the symptoms.

If you just quit your birth control, it's
perfectly normal that you aren't getting
periods yet. That just happens sometimes.
I'd say three tests are accurate enough.
Have you had unprotected sex since you
stopped the bc?

Yeah that's what I heard. I just didn't
know how long it took to return to normal.

DO not have unprotected sex unless you
WANT to get pregnant.
If you stop taking your pill and you have
unprotected sex, then you are ASKING to
get pregnant, know what I mean?
Sex wihtout birh control causes
pregnancy.
I work in an abortion clinic, and so many
women do not know that you can get
pregannt wihtin DAYS of stopping birth
control.

Not really sure why they thought she had
that I didn't know her at the time just
know it happened. Just be careful and use
protection if a baby is not what you want
right now.

Hey I was also on birth control and
stopped and it took my body 3 month to get
to normal, I went to the doctor and she
said its very normal, now if you dont want
a baby I suggest you get back on birth
control because you can come out pregnant
at anytime from the moment you stopped
taking it.
