Is your menstrual cycle messed up if you stopped using the birth control pill and have missed a period but the pregnancy test came out negative?

Yes, there is a possibility you could still be pregnant. Some pregnancy tests will not read your hCG levels if they are too low. The best way to find out if you are pregnant after receiving a negative test result is to go to your doctor. Have your doctor perform a blood test to give you a definite answer as to if you are pregnant or not.

∙ 8y agoProbably not. If you have been off the pill for a month and took a pregnancy test that was negative, you are probably not pregnant. If you haven't had a period yet, talk to your doctor. You may need to get some medication to get your period started again. Occasionally some women need that.
It is very common to skip a period after getting off birth control. It happens more frequently than not. It is because it takes your system a few months to get back to normal. The longer you were on the pill, the longer it might take for your periods to resume normally. Many women get off the pill because they want a child and time and again they wonder why negative test and no period.... very common. Give it a few months.

∙ 16y agoWell this answer requires knowing a few more things. Is your period late? Have you been taking your Birth Control pills when you should be? No Birth control is 100% effective. So yes there is a posibility you could be pregnant, but I would wait a few days and test again. If your period is over a week late, call your Doctor.

∙ 15y agoAs long as you are taking the pill properly, probably not. The pill can mess with your cycle. When I was on Yaz, it took my periods about a year to regulate.A negative test could also be the result of a phantom pregnancy. A phantom pregnancy is where you basically fool your mind and body into thinking it is pregnant. You will still experience pregnancy symptoms but you are not actually pregnant; it is al psychological Some women have even been able to lactate during a phantom pregnacny. The causes of a phantom pregnancy are either paranoia of being pregnant or having an extreme desire to become pregnant. There are several things that can contribute to a negative pregnancy test even if you are pregnant. Some medications can give you a false negative, the timing of the test can affect the results. If you did not follow directions properly; if you let the test sit for too long the results may read negative after a while. It is important to read the results within the amount of time given on the instructions of that particular pregnancy test you bought. If you did not perform the test properly (example: you drank a lot of fluids before taking the test, which can dilute your urine). Etc To ensure the best results: Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results Take the test no more than 1 day before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip Check the results in the window frame of time suggested by the instructions of the pregnancy test.

∙ 9y agoIn short, yes, your menstrual cycle is messed up.
Hormonal birth control suppresses your menstrual cycles so that you no longer ovulate, and thus in turn you also don't menstruate either - bleeding you get on the pill is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when you go into your placebo week. Coming off the pill it takes time for your menstrual cycles to reestablish themselves, you should menstruate within three months but don't be surprised if your cycles are irregular for up to twelve months after stopping hormonal birth control. If still worried about pregnancy then go talk to your doctor to make sure that everything is okay, and maybe look at getting another form of birth control.

What if your nipples have been hurting for the past week If you have stopped taking your birth control 3 weeks ago Is this a sign of pregnancy?
Hello, Your question is: What if your nipples have been hurting for the past week if you have stopped taking birth control 3 weeks ago Is this a sign of pregnancy? Nipple tenderness can indicate pregnancy but unless other symptoms are associated which may also indicate pregnancy then I wouldn't believe this to be purely pregnancy related. When you stop taking birth control, as the hormones withdraw from your system, breast tenderness is not unheard of and neither is abdominal cramping, headaches or nauseous. However, perform a pregnancy test to be certain.
