I am so happy to have wondered across this site! I recently stopped birth control, about 2-3 months ago. My period in May was really late, then in June I barely had a period, and I've been spotting for a while. I feel like I'm about to start my period, but I've already had one this month, but it was really light. Is there a chance I could be pregnant? We've been using protection, but even condoms are 100%. Thank you for any help.

I have a very similar situation. I have been actively trying to get pregnant since the beginning of April. I got my regular period in May and have missed my June period by almost 2 weeks now. I am never late and I have taken 6 hcg tests that all came up negative. My husband thinks I'm crazy for testing so much, I am glad I am not the only one with this problem.

I AM 45 DAYS LATE AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT IT COULD BE IT BE I HAVE BEEN REALLY STRESSED AND I HAVE GAINED WEIGHT PLUS I AM ALSO BULMIC. I ALREADY TOOK A TEST AND IT WAS NEG.WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

Thanks for the information, Morgan. You actually answered another question I had. I wasn't sure how long it would take before I started ovulating again after stopping birth control. I took another HPT last night just to be sure and it was negative. Now I guess I will just start planning for next month. Thanks again and good luck to everyone!! God Bless! :)

Hi Everyone...I am relieved that I am not the only person in the whole world (which I feel I am sometimes) that is so frustrated with not knowing if I am pregnant or not. I have always had pretty "on time" cycles..around Day 31..well today is 39 and now sign of my period in sight!! My husband and I have been trying for 3 months now and are really hoping this could be it. I took 3 preg. tests all with Negative results...I took the clinical HCG strips and the EPT and Answer Tests. I have an appt for bloodwork on Thursday and I am hoping that can confirm or deny it. I did spot very light brown discharge for 5 days earlier in my cycle and was hoping this was a promising sign of pregnancy, no bloating, cramping, nausea, sore boobs. I only feel tired (like I am dragging), a slight "tingle" in my left nipple, noticed my aerolas getting slightly darker in color and have a dull backache and headache. Most of which could be related to working and school full time. I just wanted to say hi and let you know that I will keep you posted also regarding my situation.

Baby Dust to All and Good Luck!!!

Morgan to Sebi - July 2nd, 2005 11:08 PM

Sebi, well there is always a chance you are pregnant if you've had unprotected sex and your period is late. If you took a test and it was negative and after a week your period still hasn't started then you need to go to the doctor for a blood test. At this point, I really think you need to see a doctor. Good luck.


sebi - July 3rd, 2005 1:32 AM

hello morgan thanks for answering.one anoter thing now my cycle is long 2 or 3 moths from last 3 months and as i told u i tested at home and clinic after the 6th day missing of my cycle.but neg and if ido sex with out protection and my periods still not come than i can be pragnant or not


Morgan - July 3rd, 2005 3:43 AM

Sebi, there are only a few ways to know exactly how long your cycle is and when you ovulate so you know when you are most fertile and most likely to get pregnant. You can chart your temperature daily at the same time every day, the best time to do this is when you wake up in the morning (at the same time every day). When your body temperature rises, that is when you are about to ovulate and you are at your most fertile. Another way is to get the test strips, they work the same as a HPT, but they are testing for the hormones that say your ovulating., although that can get expensive. Those are really the only ways to chart your ovulation and cycle. Maybe this month you had an a much longer cycle, or maybe this month your cycle was normal, you just didn't ovulate for whatever reason. I have to stress though, these are really questions you should be asking a health professional. Please do not take my advice as though it is coming from a doctor. I am not a doctor, and do not claim to know everything. I can only relate to you the information that I have learned through my own research and doctors visits.

Also, for anyone that might be interested: there is a website called www.mymonthlycycles.com
you can sign up and you then have access to a month by month chart where you can put in any information about you cycle so that you can be more aware of your cycle. I have begun using it, and it is really helpful.

Good luck ladies.


nenni - July 4th, 2005 12:19 AM

i have asame que like sebi,if idid sex without protection and missed my periods10 days .but got negitive in clinic and home it means all that my efforts to be pragnant lost but i countinuethe sex and still waitting my periods can i pregnant because of all these inter courses or waite to start my cycle and then try again?.another thing my periods is not regular now and i have it 3 or sometimes 4months.if ineed anew periods to be pragnant its mean waitting long time .how many time don,t know 4 years or 4 monthes?i am waitting your answer please help.


Morgan - July 4th, 2005 2:07 AM

Nenni, OK, even if you miss you period you do not have to wait until you have one to become pregnant. There is only an 8% chance that you will get pregnant from unprotected sex, it really depends on the time of your cycle. You ovulate only once during your cycle you are most fertile at that point. Sperm can live for approximately 3 days in your body. If you know when in your cycle you ovulate, by checking you temp or with the ovulation tests, then you know when you are most fertile and can have unprotected sex during these days. Even if you missed a period you can still get pregnant, having a period means that you ovulated and the egg was not fertalized. When you miss a period it can be for any number of reasons, if you are not pregnant it might mean that because of stress you didn't ovulate that month, but you can get pregnant the next time you ovulate. Normally you wont miss mulipule periods in a row unless you are pregnant or have another medical reason, or because of birth control. Good luck!
