3 weeks late

Melmo · Aug 17, 2014, 05:37 PM

So my last period was 21 days late, I had a light ish period for 4 days (heavy ish on the first day) and now I'm again 21 days late and no sign of it, no spotting cramping nothing. I took 3 preg tests last time I was late and it was neg. I just took another one a few days ago and again it's negative. I've had sex middle of May then the weekend of July 11th. (Period would hVe been due 2 weeks later)
I also have what I noticed is heavy "wetness" like I'm turned on when I'm not. I have an appt on the 25th anyway but just wondering if something like this has happened to anyone else?

Months very from month to month. So many days this month - so many days in this month.

If your so worried, it sounds like its time for BCPs or the patch. That would regulate you and cover any bases for getting pregnant.

I was a week late last month and this month I was 3 days early. It does vary a lot. I had that happen to me too about a year ago but I ended up being pregnant but you won't know for sure until the appointment.

I've been nauseous all day today. I really hope I'm not pregnant. Getting really nervous.

Could be stress. Hang in there and try not I worry until after ur appt once you figure out what's going on.

Take a test

If you take a home pregnancy test just be aware that some can give a false positive result if you cycle is going to start within 24hrs, this is because the hormones that this test for can be elevated just before before you begin your period

terrified the life out of me when I was younger

I've taken 5 tests over the course of the last 2
Months and nothing. My last period was June 27 and still nothing. I got bloodwork done and my hcg is slightly elevated (0-5 is normal, I'm at 8.8.) so my dr wants me to redo it. I just want to know already.

Melmo, I just noticed you're taking Abilfy. That tweeked a memory, so I looked it up. I pulled this off the NAMI website

Quote:

Aripiprazole (Abilify) may increase the blood levels of a hormone called prolactin. Side effects of increased prolactin levels include females losing their period,

An HCG level of 8.8 would be considered extremely low for someone whose last menstrual period was June 27, if she was pregnant. The low end of normal in pregnancy would be around 65,000 by this time. When the level is between 5-25, it's standard operating procedure to do the test again. When it's above 25, a woman is considered pregnant. In early pregnancy, the HCG levels double every few days and that can cause rapid increases in the level. That hasn't happened with you. You're barely above normal.

An ultrasound test can detect a gestational sac by the third week of pregnancy. So if you remain unsure and worried after the second HCG test, an ultrasound test may set your mind at ease.

In the meantime, keep some method of birth control on hand because on the face of things, it's unlikely you're pregnant right now.

Next time you see the doctor, talk to him/her about the possibility that Abilify has caused you to stop menstruating and if that's something to be concerned about or not.

My fingers are crossed that you'll get the news you most want ... whatever it might be.
