Ok I wrote here a while ago and my period was all messed up and all. The doctor told me to get away from stress so I did. My boyfriend packed our bags and suprised me with a get away for two. Come to find out my boyfriend did not pack the birth control pills. Sometimes we used a back up method and sometimes we didnt for the past 10 days. We got home two days ago and Im not suppose to have my period for another 13 days. Im probably worrying about nothing but it seems like nothing is going our way. Something is always forgotten these past few months that Im a wreck and just need to know. PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK OR SOMETHING TO GO OFF OF SO I CAN RELAX A LITTLE.

Well still no period and no spotting either. Some of you gals said that when you messed up on pills it made you bleed or at least spotted. Well no blood what so ever. I have stopped taking the pills which I would still be in the third week of pills. I still have a couple days before I should be expecting my period. Im probably worring for nothing. I know I need to wait until I get my period to know but last night I took a test and it was negative. It was an ept and the negative line was very light. I waited the time I was suppose to and longer and still it was very light. Which tells me that Im not but I dont know if it was too soon or not. I dont understand my body like I used to. I will be starting the winter semester of college in jan so Im a little scared but yet wanting. This might not mean anything but my nipples are kinda tender. I dont notice it until my bf wants to touch them that they feel like they are raw but there not. Ive gained weight and noticed that I eat a lot more but I dont know if that would be too soon or not. Im just thinking that my last period was three weeks ago and ended on a sunday and then we startted having sex with out the pills and sometimes without protection. Every morning I wake up my lower back hurts and it never used to. I still get the little twinges of pain in my lower abdomen and then the rest of the day Im fine so I dont know

well i waited for three mins and you know how there is a circle and a square? well there looked to be two lines both very faint. then the one line disappeared and the line in the square stayed but was very faint too. it didnt get any darker. so i dont know what that means. last night again my bf and i had intercourse and we didnt use a condom and like i said before we stopped using birth control to see if i was pregnant or not (spur of the moment sex)i have 6 days before i am suppose to start my period so i dont know if by chance my egg would have already been released and on its way done at that point or not. i have 6 more of the active pills then it goes to the reminder pills which i should be on the period. this is so confusing.basically i have missed 17 of the active pills.

I'm thinking if you've missed 17 active pills then there is no way of noing when you ovulated, Missing so many pills you could have ovulated at any point. I guess I would wait until you period was suppose to come and then test.

Oh I know but I before I was even on the pill I couldnt keep track of when I ovulated either so I couldnt tell you either way. I do know that when I missed those 17 active pills my bf and I had sex pretty much every night and sometimes without a condom. Im thinking that if sperm lasts at least 72 hours in the body that there is a good chance that I could of conceived. I just cant wait until my period is due you know. He tells me not to worry and all that but so many things are going on that I cant seem to get my mind off it. This might be a stupid question but how do you know if you ovulated without a an ovulation kit?

The control line on the ept was faint also? that is strange... Was it a double pack ? Did you take the other test if it was?? When are you planning to test again? I could never tell when i ovulated either.. You get a lot of stringy clear discharge I think..

Yes both lines were very faint so I dont know. Im due for my period in a couple days so Im planning on taking another one then to wait and see what happens. Well Ive had that stringy discharge when Ive wiped. Now there is nothing. So I guess that Ihave ovulated....and we had sex then...
