I am on birth control, but the last time I
had a period was 1/20/07. I was waiting
for my period to start in February, but it
never did so I did not start my next pill
pack. I haven't had sex since 2/15/07. I
have taken 5 pregnancy tests in the last 5
weeks, since my 1st missed period, I am
now missing a 2nd one, it still hasn't
come for march yet either. All of the
pregnancy tests are negative. I would not
carry out a pregnancy because of the
Methotrexate & would need to know about
the pregnancy ASAP. Could really be
getting a false negative on the pregnancy
tests after this long? I do not "feel"
pregnant either. Should I just make an
appointment with a Dr.? Thanks! I really
appreciate any insight you can give
me!

Birth control pills are administered in
order to prevent pregnancy. If you get
pregnant, there are great chances that
your baby may be damaged because you are
taking metothrexate. Missing periods can
not be due to birth control pills, because
women on birth control still experience
monthly bleeding. Missed periods
(amenorrhea) can be due to the
methotrexate. Amenorrhea is an expected
side effect while taking methotrexate.
