Late period worry

millsymuttleylaugh

Hi all

Hoping someone can help me here, or at least give me some advice.

To cut a long story short I had 'unwanted' unprotected sex at the very beginning of March. I went to get the morning after pill the next day and then went to get myself tested in due course for STIs. Anyway the pharmacist I saw told me that if my period hadn't come within a week of when it was due to do a pregnancy test.

But my period did come on 11th March. Since then however my belly has started to feel really bloated, I've had sore breasts and I feel quite sick. I usually drink quite often but during the last week the thought of drinking has repulsed me. I constantly feel bloated and like a dull cramp at the bottom of my stomach, sort of like a gentle period pain (if there is such a thing)

Anyway its been worrying me so on Monday I bought a test from home bargains (didn't have enough money to get a expensive one) there were 3 strips, did them at varying times over the next day and all 3 came back negative. But I still have this feeling and its concerning me.

I've not had sex since that time in march but I have 'fooled' around with a guy since then but not all the way. My period usually comes a couple of days earlier than the one previous to it, so as my last one started 11th March, I would have expected it to be around 6/7th April but its now the 20th and nothing.

Please help I'm not sure what to do

Any chance you can go to your Doctor, where they can test you?

big hugs I have been there, almost to the exact. I was pregnant.

Go and see you dr, also maybe a counciler.

What you told your mum or friends?

Maybe it's just a side effect of the map pill? I've taken one before and they went over all of the side effects etc but I can't recall of them.

But, I know when I swap contraceptive pill brands, throughout the month (after period) I get crampy feelings and sore breasts, as it's a change in hormones, and the MAP is a concentrated hormone.

The morning after pill can really mess with your system, I used it a few years ago about 4 hours after sex (condom mishap) and I had heavy periods for 6 months after it (mine are normally pathetically light). It can affect you in different ways but though you should of course speak to a doctor I really wouldn't fret about it too much as that in it's self can mess with your system too.

I'm not sure about the morning after pill, but its been well over a month since I took it so unless my body is screwed up I doubt I'd get the side effects now? I dunno. I'm not on any other contraceptive pill though. I've not told anyone, well except everyone on here. Just wouldn't know how to word it to tell my mum.

Kimberley82 did you find out you were pregnant because of these symptoms and then did a test?

If I am pregnant, its gonna be a disaster. But like I said about the drinking etc, usually I can eat and drink for england, no problem. But recently just not felt it at all. I can't see a doctor until next wednesday now

cheap tests are just as effective as expensive tests

it may very well be paranoia and stress making you late

I'd do a couple more tests on different days - get them v cheap and fast from ebay

Have you ever thought that you are late because you are worrying?

You need to get this into perspective. You have taken three tests and all have been negative. Chances of you being pregnant, whilst not impossible, are negligible.

Maybe a visit to a sti clinic just to check they have not missed anything . At least that way you will se a doctor sooner than wed and they can check you out.
