Hi everyone so im a little confused. I am on birth control and doing a little bit of exercising. Last month i had missed 2 or 3 pills. I never usually miss.. but my dog had got to my pack and had a few so i just skipped them thinking I would be OK since i been on them for so long. So the time came for my period and it didn't come. I took a test an it said negative then 2 days later i took another an still negative. By this time i went back onto my pack. Then throughout the month i been feeling not so well an been getting headaches and crampy feeling in my stomach. I didn't really think anything of it because maybe i was just making my body think i was. So i continued my daily routine of working out an staying busy. Then, today, when i went to put on my gym clothes i looked incredibly huge. It just didn't feel right for me. I have been working out and starting to feel confident again but for some reason i just felt huge! So, i went an got another test and that also came out negative. I just don't understand. It is stressing me out. Anyone have this happen to them or no someone who it did?

Hi there,

This happened to me about 2 years ago minus the dog getting them. The easiest way to find out is go to your doctor and have a blood test. Thats what I had to do. I had two tests say negitive and then the doctor gave me one and it came out positive. The blood test showed that it was infact negitive.

best of luck.

PeanutButter agony auntFirst of all I would just like to say that there is a risk of pregnancy even when taking birth control. When you miss just 1 or more birth control pills your risk of pregnancy becomes greatly increased.

In this instance you have taken several pregnancy tests and all of them have returned a negative test result. This would suggest strongly that you are not pregnant.

The stress and worry, which you are putting upon yourself may not be helping your overall health right now and exercising can change the way our bodies feel and look in a shot space of time.

Combine the exercise, stress and negative test results and I would say that you are most likely not pregnant.

HOWEVER, there is a chance that you are returning false negatives on the pregnancy test. This can happen early on in a pregnancy when the levels of HGC are not high enough in your system to detect with a test.

IF you are still having any doubts about your situation, I would suggest calling your local doctor and asking for a blood test. This can determine, fairly rapidly, a negative or positive result of pregnancy.

Either way, you will know for sure and can start to take some of the worry and stress from your shoulders by taking this approach.

I hope everything works out for you xx
