Question: Hello all.
I've had the I-Pill 3 times in my life. First time was in late January 2011 and the 2nd was on early April 2011. And my period cycle was irregular all the while. Most recently I took the I-Pill was on October 8th 2011 after having sex with my Boyfriend. My last period ended on October 4th 2011 which lasted for 5 days from September 30th to October 4th.

Then, I had another period from October 15th to 19th. And after that, I did not have any periods till today, that is, January 29th 2012. I've always had irregular periods but, the time never exceeded more than 3 months. I am in my 4th month now without any periods.

Then, I thought I might be pregnant. But, I am not going through any single pregnancy symptom. I am going for a pregnancy blood test soon but, I doubt it would be positive. My main concern is, by taking the I-Pill more often like I did, does it cause a woman to have very irregular periods? In October 2011, I had my periods twice, but after October, I didn't have my periods even once. And yeah I am 23 years old as of now. Please give me some advice. Thanks in advance. :(

Additional Observations:
From last night, many different thoughts have been running through my mind. Like, am I really pregnant? But, From my 4 months of no period cycles, I did not experience a single pregnancy symptom at all. And the period cycle which I had during October 15th to 19th is definitely not Implantation Bleeding, because it seemed and felt like a very normal period cycle which I usually have and it lasted for 5 days as usual. And the symptoms of implantation bleeding which I read online does not match the pattern of bleeding I experienced during October 2011 at all. My only worry is that I have not had my period cycles after October 19th till today, though I have no symptoms of pregnancy at all, I am still worried if at all I am pregnant. I will be going for the blood tests which was recommended to me soon to confirm the issue. But, from scientific point of view, considering my situation and bodily state. Am I really pregnant? Thanks in advance for your patience and in time.

Thanks

Hello Dr. XXXXXXX Tayal,

Thank you very much for your reply. I do have a few doubts after your answer, please clarify them for me.

1) I did not have sex at all after October 8th 2011. And as per my situation, I did have my early period cycle from October 15th to 19th thanks to the i-Pill. Does withdrawal bleeding mean that I am pregnant or does it rule out pregnancy completely? And I am still pretty sure that it was not implantation bleeding as none of the signs match at all.

2) Also, if I am indeed pregnant. This should be my 4th month running. But, from the 1st month till now there has not been a single symptom of pregnancy at all. I have gone through about 20 symptoms about pregnancy and my physical condition does not even match with 1 symptom. Would I still be pregnant?

3) I am going for a pregnancy test tomorrow. I will definitely keep you updated about my situation.

Thanks for your time and patience
