New Here~ AF "MIA" for 2 weeks

Hi, I am new here. My name is LaNissa, I am 17, and live in Arkansas. I am on BC, but missed a couple of pills last month, thought I was preg. so I stopped taking them, when normally AF would've started, it didn't. I've taken 3 tests, and all came back neg. I was on cold medication 3 1/2 weeks ago, and worried that might have affected something. But that doesn't explain the headaches, nausea, mood swings, hot flashes, cramps, and constant need to pee (sorry I know TMI). I had some spotting between the 20th and 23rd of Sep. not even close to normal. I've had no DC, but my underwear have been wet sometimes when I go to use the bathroom and pull them down. A baby right now would not be good, but it would be loved and kept. It's just not the time. Someone asked me what I was going to do if I was, and I told them this "I guess I'll be 8 months preg when I walk to get my diploma from high school." Luckily my BF is supportive and said that after next June we will get married even if I am not preg. (we've been together for 1 yr and 4 months, TODAY !!) Any advice or comments would be welcomed. I've decided to wait til around the 21st to retest, maybe by then everything will be ok. thanks in advance.

If you stopped taking your pills and had unprotected sex then there is a chance you could be pregnant,however, sometimes when I was on the pill my period would be very light or even not come at all, even though I wasnt pregnant.

how long after the time you think u got pregnant did you take the tests?

I am going to test around the end of next week because I may have gotten preg this month, and AF would be due around the 19th or so. I'll let ya know what happens.
