Hello,

I really don't know what to do right now, or what's going on within my own body. I'll try to keep this short and brief, but at the same time to give all the info. I know you guys arent doctors, but at the moment i have no health insurance and really just want to talk to someone and find out more info. If i stay at the job i am at currently, i may get insurance within the next few weeks, but my DBF and I have been waiting for over a year for a position to open up that would allow us to move downstate, and we've finally gotten it!

My DBF and I have been together for a little over 4 years, and throughout almost all of it, i've been on BCP. First, ortho-trycyclen, then ortho-trilo. The trilo i've been on now for about 3 years, i had no problems with the tricyclen but my health center at college stopped selling them and i had to switch to something else. Ever since then i've been going to the local planned parenthood, with no problems.

My last period began january 9th. It was normal, regular,a little short. that month, DBF and I had sex numerous times during the fertile period (i looked it up later when i was trying to figure out my cycles). In Febuary, i kept waiting for my period to come, but it never did. I took 2 hpt, both negative, and then went to pp. i took anotehr one there also neg. the doctor came in, did a pelvic exam and said everything seemed normal. A month later, i went back and told her that instead of a period that month, i had just gotten a few days of staining, no blood tho. She did another pelvic and said again that it looked normal. I also took another hpt, neg again.

This month, i had a little staining, and then nothing again. I really don't know what to do or think. the nurse had suggested that the bc may not be working as i've been taking it so long and my body may have just gotten used to it. However when i brought this up to the doctor, she quickly dismissed it.

The only other change i've noticed during the past few months has been that my breasts have grown and changed in how they feel. Now, they feel very squishy almost, and there are and have been some whitish bumps on or around my nipples. I was thinking of going to the dollar store today and taking another hpt, but i am wondering if this is just because of the bc pills. i really don't know tho.

thank you for reading all of this :) any comments or thoughts are welcomed and appreciated :) thanks again

If you've been taking your birth control correctly I doubt you're pregnant. Honestly I never had much of a period when I was on the pill.

You can't really determine your fertile period by the calendar when your on the pills either. You might know if you've been checking your CM if the pill wasn't working though. If you've had all the tests come back negative I honestly wouldn't worry too much about it. Sometimes a different brand of pill can affect your body differently though, with more or less bleeding during your period, or different changes in your body as well.
