Here's my story...I missed a couple pills and never got my period during the sugar pill week, which was supposed to come August 17th, I figured I was preg. I got neg hpt's and 1 neg blood test on Sept. 17th...Now, I haven't been on the pill and I've had unprotected sex with the hubby...I believe on August 19th, 24, 25th... Sept 18th...and I still haven't had a period...My gyn told me to take provera to start my period, but now I feel like I shouldn't, since I had all that unprotected sex, but can you ovulate after stopping the pill and not getting a period??? I just don't know what to do...I figured I should take one or two more hpt...then start the provera, but it kind of freaks me out!!! I've always had normal cyles, on the pill and off, and I've stopped the pill a couple times and I ALWAYS got a period..Anyone have any advice, i'm so confused..I wouldn't mind being pregnant...so I'm scared to take it...

Definately if you are in doubt I would not start another form of birth control as by the sounds of it you may be pregnant. I would wait a month and then see, you never know. :)

Can you ovulate after stopping the pill and not getting a period? My husband thinks i'm crazy bc I don't wanna take those pills...

Your pill could mess up your cycle...so there's a chance you could be pregnant. If you're worried, the best thing to do would be to stop all forms of birth control and definitely don't start provera (as in some cases this can cause birth defects), and then take a test, speak to a doctor - if you have an intuitive feeling that you may be pregnant you wouldn't want to cause problems by taking anything!!!

well, i had like nipple pains and slight cramps and a little nausea, but I keep getting neg's....I've never had nipple pain before a period,s o I thought that was weird...Well, I think I'll retest tomorrow am. and go from there.

I think you can ovulate even if you didn't get af yet. I'm not 100% sure though...Good Luck.
