Hello. My boyfriend and I have been having sex regularly without protection. We aren't "trying" for a baby, we just aren't preventing. I was on birth control for about 6 months. I had my last period June 15 after coming off the pill. I am 2 weeks away from my 4th missed period. This past month was a little strange though. I had some spotting along with cramps 5 days before my period was due this month. I have taken several pregnancy tests, and they are all negative. I called the doctor, and she doesn't seem too concerned. My stomach has been really sore for 3 weeks, especially when I lay on it. Sometimes it hurts to press on it. My nipples were sore for about 3 days. I have been having heartburn off and on. I have been really exhausted lately. I feel like I haven't slept for days, even when I sleep past 9. I feel like I am going to vomit if I don't eat, but then I feel like I need to vomit right after I eat. I can eat all day long, and then late at night I feel sick. I am at a loss for what to do. HELP!!!! in this box

Answer by Dr Vinod, MBBS,FcGP  (doctor) on Thu 01, Oct 2009 07:07pm:

Dear southga1982, Hello! You need to go for a confirmatory test for pregnancy. Estimation of beta HCG in your blood is the best test to confirm pregnancy. You can also go for an ultrasound. The symptoms are due to the hormone surges and levels in your body. Slowly after withdrawal of hormonal contraceptives your period will come and get regularized in couple of months. In some people it takes some more time and if you have 4 missed periods without pregnancy then you should visit a gynecologist to explore other options for a proper diagnosis. It can be some infection. Take care!
