Hi Ladies,

I am on birth control but haven't had a period since the end of July. I have taken 4 hpt and all were negative. I have had no nausea or breast tenderness, but have had occasional cramping and fatigue. Could I be pregnant? If not, then I am afraid something is really wrong for me to be skippping periods while on the pill!!! Any advice or suggestions? Please let me know as soon as possible!

Thanks for your time!

well, me being on the pill before, and everyother birth control out there, i know that sometime its normal to skipp a period or even a couple, when i was on the depo, i didnt get a period for a year, and also i gotten pregnant on the pill, but i think its safe to say that it is normal to miss a couple of periods on b/c

hope this help, any more questions feel free to ask!!

If you are not getting a period and have neg hpt's it means the "pill" is working well, if it concerns you you should go to your doctor and ask for a lower dose pill, b/c your current pill could have a dose that is to high for you which is good but can cause you to miss your af just like having a dose that is too low can cause breakthough bleeding or "opps" a pregnancy, so if you ar looking for peace of mind with a monthly visitor you need to get a lower dose pill, if not then relax and enjoy not having af visit you!

Hope that helps
