i have been on pills for the last 6 years and have been getting my periods normally. havnt received periods from nov and pregnancy test is negative.

Question

I've had 1 period in the last six months with negative pregnancy tests and normal thyroid levels. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year. What could be my problem?

Answer 1

Not unusual: To not have a period on the pill, don't worry, it won't bea problem, keep on keepin on.

Answer 2

You're pregnant?: Pregnancy tests come in two varieties. One says yes or no as to being pregnant (urine or blood tested). The other is a blood test which tells how much pregnancy hormone(hcg) is in your blood and can be useful for your doctor in assessing how your pregnancy is progressing.

Answer 3

HCG levels: Chorionic tissue, a part of the fetus, makes hcg. Blood and urine levels of HCG increase in a pregnant woman. The tests measure the HCG level and if elevated above a certain level, the results indicate that the woman is pregnant.

Answer 4

Inconclusive: This is rare when this happens but my suggestion is to try again this is happen very infrequently.

Answer 5

Need to redo: If you had sex since your last period and missed your period by 4-5 days, do a home pregnancy test. . If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD.

Answer 6

Lots of HCG: A quicker response means a higher level of pregnancy hormone (hcg), which would be the case in an advanced pregnancy, multiple gestation (twins or more), or in a molar pregnancy (an abnormal condition).

Answer 7

Depends: A positive test has two bands. One band means either a negative test or an invalid test. Please read the package insert as the position of the colored band determines if it is a negative test of an unreliable test.

Answer 8

Depends...: It is important to follow the label directions, interpreting the test after the recommended time. Do not take it apart. As the test begins to dry out, a line can form, causing a false positive result (in other words, you would appear to be pregnant when you are not). Repeat the test . Consider using one of the more specific tests that gives a result that is more than just a line. Take care.

Answer 9

See details: If the test line is faintly positive, and the control line shows up, you did it correctly and are pregnant. A faint line is very common early on. It can also be faint if the pregnancy is not normal. I would suggest a blood test to measure your hcg levels.
