Need Advice, Please

My period is a week late. I got it about 5 weeks ago. 2 weeks after that I bled once (not a whole day just 1 time) thought my period was coming again but obviously it didnt. I think a.F should be coming soon bc ive got all the symptoms, very tired, irratable, and very emotional.

2 days ago my boyfriend jason and I had sex. This may be tmi

when we finish I use a sock to like clean myself up. .. Lol so anyway when I like wipped there was some blood. I figured I got my period and put a tampon in. When my period comes it comes strong right away even on birthcontrol and then just gets less and less. Well I since then .. Nothing.. This is so annoying

so what do you think. I know I have to test, and I will. Im on birthcontrol and for the past liek 6 months my periods have come in the middle of the active pills, but my gyno said that it was alright as long as it comes everymonth and is regular.

In your opinion, does it sound like I could be preggy? We dont use condoms.

Thanks
btw I used to have baby fever really bad, but for the past 2-3 months its been completely gone, to the point that I thought I didnt even want kids anymore, and I didnt think about getting preggy at all. I didnt worry about my periods like I used to etc. And they always say it happens as soon as you stop thinking about it and youre not trying

Hey sweetie,
any period absenteeism is worth checking out. Especially when you're on the pill. I'm no doctor, so I can't say if you're preg or not, if you're worried there's only one thing that'll set your mind at ease though....Unfortunately then cost $15 and you pee on them once and throw them away after. Kwim? I know it's rough, trust me, I had a little "scare" last week too.

The thing is, that your body does change, and breakthrough bleeding is a common side effect of the pill, it may just mean that your body is adjusted and your current pill is no longer strong enough. Make an appointment with your gyn for sure though, and absentee period whilst on the pill is worth checking out.

Best of luck!

I don't know if you have one, but if you have the dollar tree, or the dollar store in your area, they have pregnancy tests and they are only a dollar. It is a heck of a lot cheaper than grocery store prices. And wal-mart has their brand for around $7.
But, you can go to a free clinic and get one for free, lol, and while you are there ask about your pill. Your body could have adjusted to it and you wont get a period and that can be completely normal. Or, it may not be strong enough anymore, but that usually causes spotting a lot and heavy periods. So, it is worth seeing a doc regardless just to make sure everything is ok.
