Confused and Scared

I take my pill (loestrin24fe) perfectly everyday. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off at 11:30am and I haven't missed a pill in probably a year.

In April, I had sex with my boyfriend at the time unprotected. My period started a week early and was only pink/brown discharge. Bc it lasted 8-9 days and stopped once I resumed my pill, I assumed it was my period and not spotting. Just to be sure, I took a test a couple days after my supposed period would start, it was negative. I would have been 2-3 weeks along at that point. I took the second test at four weeks to be safe, and it too was negative (can you see how cautious of a person I am lol)

So now I'm 5, approaching 6 weeks (maybe longer) if I AM pregnant. Should have bled today and so far have not. No signs or symptoms of pregnancy whatsoever. I'm cramping as normal.

Confused and scared. I honestly don't think I'm pregnant, but everytime I google any other possibilities it just tells me I'm pregnant which frustrates and angers me. There have to be girls with irregular or missed periods who have sex (on the pill) and aren't pregnant right? I've always had period issues. Some are incredibly heavy, some non-existent. Always painful. If I call the doctor I know they'll make me come in which is hard with work and I have an annual in July. Any thoughts as to what the problem could be?

Hey sweet heart, if you are cramping as normal, late which is not normal take your pill normally "as you do"

I can't explain why we have irregular periods but we do...gets worse as you get older

You've had two negatives.

What is stressing you apart from this? Our brain is the key to everything if we stress it gets confused as to what it is meant to do.

Don't be scared your changes are 1 in a million...

It's possible it's time to change your pill your body is too used to it and you may need something a bit stronger especially if your periods are painful, one of the purposes of the pill is to reduce this.

I was thinking the same. If my body is too used to my pill, does that make it ineffective at preventing pregnancy too?

April was a nightmare stress month. I got a 4.0 in college, had the break-up, and found out my baby cousin has cancer. I don't know why but at some point I put the thought in my head that what if I had a baby and I guess it was like a self-fulfilling prophecy the rest of the month. I've been done with classes and stress all this month so not sure why I wouldn't have my period bc of stress...but when it came time to bleed I totally spazzed lol should I take another test at like eight weeks? I read they don't show up as positive for awhile...always finding reasons to worry over here.

The pill would/should always work but that doesn't mean that it's strong enough for you, personally is what I mean't

You should explain your symptoms during your periods to your Doctor, maybe they can try a different pill.

If your mind is constantly worrying, trying to handle an abundance of stress, your body automatically gets confused of it's function as the stress takes priority sweet, sorry about your cousin but like I said, stress is not going to do you any good now is it

I'd guess you stress over anything and everything, try taking 3 deep breathes everytime you feel like stressing out
