Okay, so this is more about lack of birth
control than birth control itself. My
boyfriend and I have been having
unprotected sex since july, pretty much
every time we are together (which is
pretty often). July is also when my last
period was. However, my doctor swears
that there's no way i'm pregnant, because
they've done five pregnancy tests (two
urine, three blood) and all were negative.
Also, they put me on the provera pill for
a week to start my period, but it didn't
work, just some horrible cramping that
stuck me in bed for hours crying. Is
there any way that I really am pregnant
and am just so screwed up that all the
tests are wrong? Or is there something
else that could be messing me up?? As of
next week I will have missed three
periods, which I read can do bad things to
your body, but I don't know what to do
about it. Please give me any information
you can, because i'm really worried.

Have you had any other symptoms of
pregnancy? Have you been nauseaous or
starting to "grow"? It is possible to be
pregnant and have negative tests come
back.. But it's rare... It may also be
something else going on..

I haven't really had any other symptoms.
I'm always tired, but my mom said that
could be from a history of anemia in my
family. I've gained some weight, but I
think it's just from starting college (i
eat so much more now). Also, the doctor
just did blood tests for my hormone
levels, tumors, and like sixty other
things (i don't even remember them all)
and he said everything is normal. I don't
understand how I can miss three periods if
everything is normal!!!

It sounds like you are definitely not
pregnant.. But keep searching for the
reason. It sounds like something else is
causing it. You would have other
symptoms at this point if you were really
pregnant. Missing you period is actually
not dangerous. It may be that your body
hasn't fully regulated itself and it's not
always completely abnormal for younger
people to miss periods. I would say if
you are still having this problem over the
next few months then think about getting a
second opinion from a different doctor.

It would be very rare to be pregnant and
have both urine and blood tests
negative.It is possible that you are
stressed due to starting college and being
away from home and worrying about your
period.If you are not gettimg any solid
answers from your regular doc,perhaps you
should get another opinion.Just a
thought.Good luck.Patty

Thanks for your help, guys. I started
spotting on saturday, and i'm going to see
a gynocologist on friday. Hopefully
they'll be able to explain what's
happening.
