Question
After only 3 months on birth control pills I stopped taking them the last dates of October. I had sex once on the 26th of september without a condom but withdrawl. To be on the safe side I took a morning after pill and around 8 days after taking it I had 4-5 days of light bleeding.

Then I had my period the 12th of november as usual, and was relieved that my period had gone back to normal.

Now this month of december, I still havent gotten my period and Im getting really anxious. I took a hpt and it came out negative.

I swear Im getting so paranoid and Im constantly researching unusual cases online and looking at my belly in the mirror and seeing it getting bigger.

I dont have any pregnancy symptoms and Ive slept well during night. but my stomach is making a lot of noise, some pinching in my upper abdomen, and some pounding to the head on a few occasions. I have been under some stress, moving, fighting with boyfriend, exams etc but this doesnt usually have an effect on me.

HELP HELP HELP... Im moving to a new country and I dont have the opportunity to go to the doctor any time soon. I have a history of being a bit irregular but the circumstances this time are very bad.

Answer
Hi Tina,

Has anything happened since you last wrote me? Let me know. Did you have your period and if not, did you take another pregnancy test. You can always get advice and a free pregnancy test at a pregnancy resource center. To find one in your location, go to http://www.heartbeatservices.org and click on the globe in the upper right hand corner of the webpage. Did you have any more pregnancy symptoms?

I will be really interested in finding out what happens in your situation. Will you please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and let me know.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
