i have taken 3 pregnancy tests in the last month and they've all turned up negative. is there a chance my birth control eliminated my period?

Question

I have the pregnancy symptoms but have been on birth control and three tests have come back negative, what is wrong with me? I am 17 years old, i got the birth control shot in january and have been having sex with my boyfriend. I missed my last period,

Answer 1

Sure : It is pretty common to miss a menstrual cycle while on birth control pills. In fact many pills are designed to cause of this. Many patients find this avoidance of bleeding very beneficial.

Answer 2

Probably not: In younger women congestive dysmenorrhea can be very severe just before and the first 1-2 days of the cycle. If the symptoms are so severe consider using oral contraceptives which will relieve the symptoms. Talk to your gynecologist about it.

Answer 3

Yes: Have you had sex in ethe last month? If so do a pregnancy test and find out good luck.

Answer 4

Yes: Not widely availiable at this time, expensive, not covered by insurance at this time.

Answer 5

Preimplantation test: With in vitro fertilization and preimplantation genetic diagnosis nowadays it is possible to determine whether the fertilized egg has any major/specific genetic abnormalities prior to transferring it into the maternal womb. Seek genetic counseling and rei care for ivf/pgd options in your case.

Answer 6

Unrealistic: Pregnancy has basic risks with as many as 4% resulting in some issue,birth defects to prematurity or infection.All of us carry recessive genes that would only be a problem if the spouse carried the same defect. Some issues could be studied in a fertilized egg before implantation, but you would have to specify which of thousands of defects to study.No guarantee would assure that nothing got thru

Answer 7

Not necessarily: Painful ovulation can potentially be caused by a large preovulation cyst, or a small amount of blood was released during ovulation, or scar tissue being present around the ovary. Subsequent menstruation may not be painful.

Answer 8

Yes: Will not interfere, but if you are 47 you may want to consider an in office tubal by the essure or adiana method that I do on my pts takes 5 minutes easy to do minimal to no pain miss 1/2 day of work, and then if u do not want periods you can get an in office endometrial abaltion to get rid of the endometrial tissue so no more periods or cramps takes 8 minutes easy to do.
