I am on the birth control pill, although I will admit every once in awhile I accidentally take it a little after the normal time. I haven't pissed a period, but the last two months have been slightly lighter than usual. Although it still has been normal colored.

The last time I had sex was early October 30. He used a condom Saturday night, but in the morning he didn't. But he didn't finish inside me either. I got my period as usual on November 9th. I actually took a pregnancy test November 14th out of complete nowhere, other than the fact my best friend told me about the show "I didn't know I was Pregnant." It was negative. And I thought everything was good! The last week of November I had some cramping, but I was also very stressed with school. For about a week, I really wasn't feeling well and sick to my stomach, but it went away after a week. I actually took two more pregnancy tests that week on different days, and they were both negative. I got my period on time December 7, but it was a little lighter again. I've taken three pregnancy tests and they've all been negative. I don't have any symptoms anymore other than my right boob feels funny, but I don't think tender or sore is the right word.

I'm under a ton of stress with school, so I'm hoping this is the reason why I am so concerned.

I literally can't sleep or anything I'm so worried! The last time before the end of October I had sex was in the beginning of September for about a week and then a few times in July. My period has been normal this whole time up until the last two times, and I am concerned. I honestly think I'm most likely psyching myself out, but I want to make sure.

Hello,

Welcome to ehealthforum

If you have been taking the pills regularly then possibility of pregnancy is very less.It seems you are experiencing the side effect of the pill use as irregular bleeding and spotting are some of the common effects of the pill and they are present for initial few months after the pill is started.
Also it has been long since you had unprotected intercourse.Stress and anciety can also cause changes in the period.Relax and wait for sometime.If any unusual symptom arises consider visiting a Gynaecologist for evaluation.
Take care!
