Asked by sweetbabyboo81 (Female; 20; 20622; n/a; Relevant drugs:n/a ) on Wed 22, Apr 2009 09:56am

my last menstrual cycle was feb 9 thru the 15th. i had intercourse with a man i was dating at the time on the 21st, used a condom. i then skipped my cycle in march, took 6 preg tests all neg, then took one, it was posotive, took 4 more and those were negative, i then went to the doctor and took a urine test and it was also negative, this was late march...i was very stressed through march and figured that was the cause of it, so i then scheduled a pap with my doctor on april 3, my ex and i had gotten back together and had unprotected intercourse the 2nd and for a week straight, when i went to my doctor and while she was inside, she told me there was no way i am pregnant, i also gotten a blood test to check for thyroid and others, all tests came back normal, it is now april 22, i have take 2 tests between the time and still negatives, i am very thin, and i have been a little bloated, i also had intercourse on the 19th and bled a little afterward and it stopped bleeding, my coloration of my mucous is light brown. it just feels like something is very strange, i have had normal periods since the very first day i started when i was 12...the most i ever was late was a week!! if i am pregnant now, i would only be 3 weeks along at most considering the doc said the last time there was no way im pregnant, she said the coloration is no different and no swelling of the uterus!! wouldnt the test pick up on it already if i have skipped this period as well if i am!! im not really sure how to make sense of it all or what to do??

Answer by Dr Bhupinder K, MD (doctor) on Sat 25, Jul 2009 07:53am:

Hello, You can confirm the status of pregnancy by getting an ultrasound uterus done.Also if it is ruled out then causes of secondary amenorrhea have to be explored. Causes of secondary amenorrhea include stress and anxiety, malnutrition, depression, overexercising, sudden weight loss or gain (obesity),thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalance due to polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS).Smoking is also associated with secondary amenorrhea. Sometimes tumors of the ovaries and brain may also cause absence of menstruation. I hope that helps. Kind regards.
