First of all I am new here but wanted to join a board where I could get lots of info.
From September 2006 until June 2009 I was on birth control. First it was Ortho TRicyclin LO but I had breakthrough bleeding between and it was a nuisance so they upped the dosage to Ortho Tricyclin and no bleeding with that. I had pretty predictable periods. I stopped it because I just ran out and due to work schedule I was never able to schedule a time on one day a week to get more from health clinic and the main reason I took them anyway was to prevent irregular, extremely heavy and painful periods. Before I got on BC I would have awful periods, to the point I couldn't leave to go anywhere because 15 minutes I would have to change my pad or whatever.

So everything was fine but August, my period was only 2 or 3 days, really light,no cramping. IT came around the middle of the month like usual. In July my breasts were extremely tender, but it was mainly my nipple itself, it hurt to have the shirt rub over them. I had just a very little bit of spotting at the first part of this month, about 2 weeks after the short period in August but then nothing else.
I took one test about 4 days ago and it came out neg. so I took one this morning and it came out negative too but my period didn't come. I have developed different likes and dislikes when it comes to food and when I shower I noticed little white bumps right around my nipples, only a few but I never noticed them before. Is it just too early to get a positive reading? I've had a lot of headaches lately which is unusual and a larger appetite but some of my favorite foods no longer taste good and I eat some strange things lol. I put barbecue sauce or honey dijon salad dressing on just about everything but it tastes good!! I used to love watermelon and strawberries, now I can't stand them. And it changed just within a couple weeks.
Any ideas or help? I used just an off-brand, like Equate because it was cheaper. Would that make any difference?

I would say it's just your hormones re-adjusting from not having any birth control. Your body can do funny things to you. If you really think you are pregnant, though, see your doctor and have them test you.

As for the second person, jenniferriley, I don't have a lot of information on your situation. If you took 4 tests and they all came back negative, chances are, you aren't pregnant. How old are you? Because if you are a teen, it's perfectly normal to be late and what not, because your body is still getting used to having a period. When I was a teenager, my period was all sorts of messed up. It took the birth control pill to regulate it. I've also missed my period as an adult now due to stress, or even minor changes in my life.

I took another test this morning using a different brand and still got a neg. result but still no sign of my period coming. There is another test with that pack so I'm going to wait 2 weeks and retest if I still don't get a period. The last period I had was kinda late and very short, then a little after that I had some very light spotting for a day but nothing else.
