Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone could help me. I have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend. We've decided to just leave it to fate if I get pregnant or not. My problem is that my last period started on july 18. It is now sept 5. The thing is that I have taken a number of pregnancy tests and all are negative.
Wondering if something is wrong with me. I am going to go get blood taken at a clinic on wednesday or thursday. I'm just starting to worry.

Thanks

There could be a lot of other factors here. How old are you? If you've had any extra stress, change in routine, travel, etc this can cause a delay in ovulation which results in a delay in period. You could also be experience an anovulatory cycle (no ovulation, no period).

Although, having unprotected sex isn't really leaving it up to "fate", it's more or less asking to get pregnant. So I hope you both are strong enough in your relationship to be able to handle the responsibilities and burden of being the sole caretaker of another human being for the next 18-30 years.

Thanks for the reply. I have a stressful job, but I am able to leave work at work. I don't feel too stressed. It could be the anovulatory cycle that you mentioned.
I'm 26 and he is 32. We are both very willing and able to support a child emotiionally, fiancially, and mentally. I guess rather then leaving it to fate we are trying without trying.
I've always hoped to be a mother one day. I lost my own when I was 19. I think she taught me a lot about what it means to be a great mom
Thanks again for your help.

I have also had problems like yours, I have gone 6 months without a period. The best thing to do would be a blood test. Even thought u feel you may not be stressed you maybe be subconsiously stressing over something. Go talk to you doctor its the best thing you can do.
