Period 4 months overdue...please help!

[minitme]

I was wondering if anyone might be able to advise me..

Back at the end of August 2006 I took the morning after pill and a week later had a very brief and light period (which came one week before my 'real' period was due)...and i haven't had one since!!

I have done 3 different pregnancy tests this month, last month and the previous month but all came back negative - i have also put on about half a stone in weight but have had no other symptoms.

I know i should have gone to the doctor's by now - is there any chance i could be pregnant - can pregnancy tests be wrong?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks x

I would get yourself down to the GP's, they will be able to take blood tests and let you know what is going on. How worrying for you.

Go to GPs. But don't worry too much. My sister went through a time when her periods became very sporadic, not pregnant, no real reason found out.

Thank you both for your advice - I've been putting off going to the doctors's for ages now as I have felt fine..

It wouldn't be a disaster if I found out I was pregnant - just concerned that something else might be wrong..I was under quite a lot of stress towards the end of last year so I have just put it down to that until now..

i had multiple false negs, both doctor and hospital tests, at 10 weeks so definitely possible

Crikey PinkTulips - that's incredible! I don't know that could happen - did you have any symptoms before you tested positive? I have put weight on and have had major mood swings but not much else really...

had symptoms.... thats why i went to the doctor.... didn't even do a test as i was so sure so there was a very odd moment in the docs surgery when it came up neg

luckily he was sensible enough to say that whether i was pregnant or not i should be checked out and sent me to the hospital who told me i'd miscarried (neg tests, couldn't feel the baby externally or internally, no heartbeat on doppler) so sent me for a scan to check for remaining material as i hadn't bleed. sonographer couldn't see a thing on the abdominal scan so did an internal to be sure .... and there was dd! she's 2 in a couple of weeks and has a baby brother (boy was i relieved to get a faint pos at 10 weeks with him!)

I would seek medical advice from your GP and get blood tests done to see what your hormone levels are like. If pregnancy is ruled out (and three negative tests done over a period of three months does seem unlikely that you are expecting) then two possible causes could be something like PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) or thyroid problems.

Thank you for your advice - I will take a trip to the GP on Monday and let you know how I get on...

This has happened once before where I didn't have a period for 6 months - and they are quite irregular anyway!

Yeah, my sister went to the GP and they said come back if you don't get one in a few months... and then she would get one of course.
