any opinions ladies?

i'm sorry to keep coming back here with the same question over the last couple of months. well, i'm sure mine is due to hormone inbalances, i would just like to see if anyone had any opinions on my situation please?
i went off of the birth control pill about 6 months ago and as the months went on, my period began to start further and further away every month, until my period just finally stopped coming. i am going on not having my period for 3 months. i took 2 or 3 pregnancy tests within the first month of not having it and i took 1 more test in the second month is not having it. all of which came out negative. no symptoms, no period, no weight gain. just plain nothing. i get mild cramps at least once a month which i'm assuming are ovulation cramps. my dad seems to think i could be pregnant though even with my negative tests. so i guess what i'm trying to ask, is do you guys think this is all because of my hormones being screwed up, or do you think theres a chance i could be pregnant and its just not coming up on tests?

I also wanted to chime in and say that I think you should really call your doctor.

thanks everyone for your replies. i really appreciate it :)


as for not shedding the uterine lining; i do have a question about that. i know that there are pills out there these days that can make you skip your period completely and doctors tell woman that if they want to skip their periods completely, they can just skip taking the placebo pills and start their new packet of bc pills right after they end their last one. so i'm just wondering how it can harm you if the doctors tell you it is ok to not have your period? i've never heard of that before so i am only curious. :)

Hi, Sorry to chime in. I believe with bcps you don't build up a lot of lining in your uterus. But, off of pills your body will build up a normal one b/c of o'ing. I know when I was on the pill up until April my AF's were a lot lighter but after every month off of the pill
