Question
Hi, i'm 20 years old female with one two years old son. My periods are very regular (every 28 days) but I haven't had a period since Aug.20, 2005. I stop wear the ortho evra patch in June of this year. I have taken atleast 6 or 7 pregnace test that i have purchased from the store and they all read "negative." If i'm not pregant then what's wrong with me.

Answer
If you recently stopped the patch in June, you may merely have some hormonal imbalance. If all the pregnancy tests were negative, ask your doctor to induce your period for you using Provera 10mg twice a day for five days and you should get your period within ten days.
