Q: Update On My Situation....
asked by: Eyes Wide Shut on August 9th, 2006

Well, I just took a test and it came back negative. So....For now, i'm not pregnant. ?

Do you think I should wait a couple of days before taking another test?

I read the pamphlet that comes with my birth control and it says: if your patch comes off "for more than one day" and you begin a new start date, you .M.U.S.T use contraception.

Of course, I didn't know this and I had sex all this month unprotected.

I know that the whole reason for birth control is to prevent conception if used correctly. I just goofed and now I could be pregnant.

My nerves are sort of settled now that I got a negative result, but it could be a little early. If it doesn't come by tomorrow night, i'm going to test .Friday morning. But if it doesn't come, i'm going to have to call my ob/gyn who is gonna chew me out!!!

I was supposed to start my period yesterday after taking the patch off monday. Why isn't it coming if i'm testing negative?!

You could always take a test in a few days time, theres no harm in it. Or you could go to your doctors and have a blood test as they are more accurate. Just remember, while taking a pregnancy test you can always get a false positive, I did for my first one as it was too early to detect the pregnancy hormone. Good luck

You mean a false negative right? Like a said in the other post, you are at great risk of pregnancy as you never used the patch properly it will be like you haven't used anything at all (sorry to scare you sweetie) when was you last period? It could still be too early to show

Ok, well just now I went to the potty and there was a streak of blood. So I think my rag is officially here. Although there's no cramping, I think i'm in the clear.

I switched from a sunday start to a monday start and didn't know I needed back up contraception.

So hopefully, this is my period and i'm not pregnant.

If I don't get a "full on" period by this afternoon (including clots) i'm calling my doctor.

Thanks everyone for yalls replies!! I really appreciate it!!!

I will. After I got the streak of blood, I started getting cramps. So I got my pad ready and headed for the potty! Sooo, when I got there, I realized I had to poop too! So I pooped and when I wiped my teetee there was nothing. Nada.

Sooooo, the cramps wound up to be poop cramps and now they're gone. Not a cramp or clot in site. I know this is prob. Tmi, but I don't care at this point!! Hahaha...Sorry to the queasy!

Anyways i'll def let yall know what goes on. I don't wanna get nervous, cuz I should've followed the directions to the patch. It's actually my fault. But it was an accident!!

Lets keep out fingers crossed that my rag comes!!
