Question
Hi My name is Crystal and im 22 years old, i recently stopped birth control 4 months ago for the first 2 months i had my period right one time which i figured was still due to the presence of the birth control in my body, i was suppose to have another period around the 2nd of sept. according to how the dates of the previous 2 fell, but here it is November and i havent had a period yet i took a  pregancy test about a month ago and it was negative, but i have had unprotected sex the whole time ive been off of the pills and was wondering if i could be pregnant..ive had some cramping on and off for the past couple of months which made me think aunt flo was approaching but still nothing after 2 months..please help?  

Answer
Hi Crystal,
Have you checked with your physician about this? I'm not a medical doctor but I have done research on the subject of birth control and pregnancy. It's a possibility that you are pregnant but I don't know why your pregnancy test hasn't shown that. I can't tell online if you're pregnant but you could check out this website and find a free pregnancy testing center in your area and get a second opinion. http://www.optionline.org
Did you go off the birth control to get pregnant or for what reason? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know.
