just wondering ... is this possible?

So... here is my story. I'm going to try and include as many details as possible.
March 2008 - started losing weight because I was eating 3 meals a day (no snacks) 1200-1800 calories a day
April 4 - started my period.... 4 light days and 2 heavy days
May 15 - took home pregnancy test because I didn't get my period - pregnancy test was negative
May 22 - took another home pregnancy test - negative
May 28 - went to the doctor - blood test - negative
June 5 - went to the doctor - prescribed Provera
June 8-14 - took Provera 7 days
June 19 - went to the doctor - did blood test - negative and hormone tests (wasn't contacted about results - assume ok)
June 20 - started a period (4 light days, 2 heavy days, 5 days of light spotting)

Important to note - my boyfriend and I have never had intercourse. There has been no penetration with his penis. I am concerned only because there has been with his finger and whether or not his finger had semen on it.

Am I prego?

Well, it seems unlikely that you are pregnant because of all of the negative blood tests.

Hi there,

No, you're not pregnant. If you were, your doctor wouldn't have given you Provera.

Sudden weight loss or weight gain can cause changes to your cycle temporarily. This is because estrogen is absorbed by fat, so any sudden increase or decrease in body fat can absorb or release estrgoen, respectively. One your body adjusts to your huge change in diet, you should expect your period to return on its own time, as long as your body fat levels don't decrease too far (in which case you would stop ovulating).
