Only for ladies who are *trying*???

Alright, I need help here! :-) Here's my story...

I have 2 children already, but they are 7 and 8 and I don't remember all of this stuff anymore! I had been on BC very regularly, however October '06 I started a new job, with no insurance until 1/1/07. So, I was too cheap to pay for the BC out of pocket so no use for Nov/Dec. Even tho I am on BC, I usually have no clue when AF is coming, so sad for a 28 year old, sheesh. Anyhow, I *think* she last showed around Dec 19 or so. Started BC on Sunday, 12/31, and we had a very *fun* New Year's Eve. Now, here I am 2 weeks later nauseous, faint/dizzy, and tired. BUT, not sure about the tiredness, as it was a long weekend and I was up til 2/3 a.m. each night.

So, because I've started my BC on 12/31, which I was supposed to wait til after my next normal cycle, I know. If AF were supposed to show this week, she probably won't because of the BC, right?? And, when the 3 weeks "on" ends on 1/21, I may have what looks like a period because of the BC, right?? (I feel 19 again).

Took a ClearBlue Easy early test this a.m., it was negative. But...IF I am, that's not unreasonable for it to be negative.

Should I stop the BC now and then test again in a couple weeks? Or what? So confused...

Thanks ladies!

Just stay on your BC sounds like you might just have some sort of bug because if you started the pack on 12/21 new years would be too early to ovulate anyways. IF you did happen to get pregnant, which i doubt, you will still miss your period whether you are on BC or not. So stick it out until your period is due (Which it will come sometime within the last week of pills don't worry until you go to start your next pack and your period still hasn't come). IF your period doesn't start by the end of your off pills then take a HPT but I wouldn't worry.

It all really depends you would have been cycle day 10 and I O right around there because I have short cycles but sperm lived for a few days and I believe that most women O between days 12-14also the wicky wacky of stopping starting BC could through everything off(including Oing and AF) However I would think you would get a + at this point if you were I would wait a couple days and test again since it is about 17 days and most get their period or test 12-14 days post O.
Good Luck either way:)
