OMG Could I be Pregnant!!! Need Advise, please help....

I have been on Birth Control (ortho cyclen lo) for about 7 years now. Without it my period is usually irregular. Well Last month I had my friend visit me on the 14th through the 17th. I notice I had missed 4 'Active" blue pills straight in a row the following week so I decided to throw the pack away and start a new one once I start my Period again the following month. Well I ended up getting Intimate with my fiance while I was off the pill and with no back up protection.(we used the pill out method.)I looked at my menstrual calender and noticed we did it on the week I was Fertile. (I spotted that week but it was very lite it lasted 4 days) Well Now its August the 22nd and I'm 11 days late!! Mother nature has yet to visit me. So I have not been able to go back on BC yet. I'm experiencing sore boobs just a lite soreness on the nipples, a little dizziness, a lil nausea and I'm bloated as heck!. I took two pregnancy tests and both came out N. My sister had to take a blood test to find out she was pregnant with her first child because the pregnancy tests she would take would say N when it should have been a P. I don't know if that's genetic, if that could happen to me since this will be my first child??? Then there's the fact that maybe I'm not really feeling any of the symptoms I just mention and its all in my head. The mind is a powerful thing (Its happened to me before, I think I'm pregnant when at the end I turn out not to be.) and it doesn't help that I'm constantly reading a lot on facts/symptoms about pregnancy and the effects of getting off BC so I don't know anymore?? I want to be preggos and at the same time I don't and only because I had already purchased my wedding gown and It would suck not being able to fit in it....

Anyway I dont know if I should wait it out until next month and see if my friend stops by for a visit or just take a blood test and see what happens from there...

What do you think it is and what should I do??? :? Sad

11 days late? I would take a test, the over the counter pee on a stick tests are pretty darn accurate. It could just be your cycle is messed up because you didn't take your pills as you have been for the past 7 years. So, it could be nothing at all other than you just being your irregular self. BUT, you could be preggers.

Time to take a quick run to Walgreens my friend! And keep us posted!

The OP already took two tests though and they were both negative.

But I do agree that since you are 11 days late, you should probably just call your dr and see if they would recommend you to come in for a blood test and explain that your sister needed that to confirm. They might tell you to wait a few more days. I had a very similar thing happen when I got pregnant...was on birth control for many years and then we went out of town and I didn't make it to the pharmacy to pick up my new pack. I figured we'd be careful for a month until my next period and then...well we weren't very careful one time. Woops.

I now have a beautiful son and we're getting married in 26 days Smile It all works out in the end. Don't stress out over it...you're right that your mind can trick you! But of course don't let it go for more htan another week without finding out for sure.

I'm not patient enough to wait. If it were me, I'd just go ahead & have a test done. I can't see waiting & waiting when I could know now! Smile

Weird that pee test was negative, but they are pretty accurate.

You can easily go ask for a blood test. Keep in mind that missing your pills and such can mess up your cycle too.

Your cycle is probably out of whack if you recently switched up your birth control after being on it regularly. I know I have psyched myself out many a time, taken several over the counter tests, only to start my period in the next few days. I would make an appointment with a Doctor if you haven't gotten your period by the 14 days late mark.
