Questions... Posted: 03-21-05 16:55pm
Hey everyone...I got off of birth control
about 4 months ago. (i was on the patch)
3 of those 4 months ago I was without a
period. I figured it was due to me
getting off of the patch.
On february 12th I got my period. It was
a healthy, 5 day period. My fiance' and
I were having unprotected sex throught the
month of february and the beginning of
march. Normally, my nipples are sore a
week prior, I break out the week prior,
and I have distinctive cramping. By march
11 there was no sign of my period. On
march 12th, I woke up and there was a
small amount of light pink on my toilet
paper. I thought "amen"!! So I put a
panti liner on to be prepared. Later that
day when I checked, there was
nothing...Not even when I wiped. So I
waited a few hours and tried again. I
even tried to contract mym muscles to
force the hemmorage down. Nothing....
It is now march 21 and there is no sign of
my period. This afternoon I took a
pregnancy test and it came back negative.
Given I only had to tinkle when I did it
so it wasnt a full 5 seconds under my
urine stream.
I am also not experiencing any signs of
pregnancy. Should I go get another test
and try it again maybe in the morning????
(thats about the only time I have a full
bladder)

You could def. Be pregnant. Your
supposed to take the test first thing in
the morning anyways, so retest tommorrow
morning! It's not unusual to not have
any symptoms yet, many women
don't.....Good luck and let us know!! :)

Thanks. Posted: 03-22-05 16:18pm
Thank you for your advice. I knew that I
hadn't urined on it for long enough...I
only tinkled about a half of a shot glass
worth onto the stick.
Why do you think on the 12th..(the day I
was supposed to start)..I had slight pink
on my toilet paper??
I am totally oblivious to symptoms of
pregnancy...The only one I could say I
have is a missed period. Lol..
I am 19 and starting school in april. I
am only taking 2 semesters so I should be
out in october. Financially, me and my
fiance are not ready. I do have
insurance..But I don't know if I can
afford it for maternity. Do you think
that if unaffordable I could look into
help from the state???

The bleeding you had could be what called
implantation bleeding. It happens right
around the time your supposed to get your
period. I got it like two days before I
was supposed to start and I thought it was
my period, but it ended up just being
there like whenever I wiped. It only
lasted like a day, and it turned out I was
pregnant!!
Im 19 and in my second semester of
college. You need to get whatever
assistance you can to make sure you and
your baby are healthy....Well thats if you
are pregnant!! Good luck hun!!

When did you actually start to experience
symptoms...I'm only 5 days late....I
figured you started w/ symptoms
immedietly.
I have another question...The week of my
missing period..I got this strange rash on
my belly. It was not above the skin and
did not itch. It started under my boobs
and stopped right at my pant lineand did
not exceed to my sides. Nothing in my
regimine was changed. (i.E. Foods
consumed and laundry detergent.) it is
finally starting to fade away. Do you
have any ides of what it couldv'e been?

You know you might not be pregnant at all.
Getting on and off birth control can do
some crazy things to your body. I mean
when I got off birth control, I didn't
have a period for 9 months straight, I
spotted here and there but no full fledge
period, then after the first two I got
pregnant. When I got back on then back
off birth control, I went two months with
no period, then had mine for 2 weeks, then
went another full month with no period.
Like the others said though, take the test
with the first urine of the day for an
accurate response, or go to the Dr. To
get a more accurate test all together.
Good luck.

I am very aware of what b/c is capable of
doing to my period. About 2 years ago I
got off of the pill and also did not have
a period for 9 months...I guess my body
thought I conceived..Lol..Anyways..I got
on the patch about a year and a half ago.
After getting off of the patch I had my
period. And on the day my period was
supposed to start, there was very light
pink blood only when I wiped...So what do
I do?!
I'm going to get a test this afternoon and
re test in the morning.
