What Causes Stoppage In Periods?
OK here is my problem. Me and my boyfriend have intercourse on exactly November 14.. that was the last time we had sex because we broke up. Anyways. I got my period two weeks after that but i was on birth control.. we never use any protection so we didnt on that night. But right after my period was done i stopped my birth control. And i had heard that you can get pregnant to up to six weeks after intercourse. Well i didnt get my period in december.. and i didnt get in february and now its march and I still dont have my period. Like is it possible for me to be pregnant i feel silly going to pay for a test and for it to say negative. But i eventually will find out at the end of the month when i go to the doctors but i needed someone's advice.

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion there is no chance for pregnancy to occur 6 weeks after intercourse.
Once you get the period there is no chance of pregnancy unless you have unprotected intercourse after the periods.
As nothing such happened and the last intercourse was done only on November 14th after which you got the periods the chances of pregnancy are very rare.
But just as a benefit of doubt a urine pregnancy test can be done to rule out the pregnancy.It will be positive from one week after the missed period in case of pregnancy.
And by 3 months of pregnancy physical examination also helps in diagnosis.
I suggest you to consult doctor for further work up.
If there was any pregnancy the symptoms like nausea,vomitings, increased urination,sore breasts would be present as all the symptoms start around 6 weeks.
But overall the pregnancy appears to be rare or nil possibility because you got the periods and you don't have any symptoms of pregnancy.
So relax.Avoid stress.The delay could be due to hormonal imbalance as the birth control pills were stopped.
Avoid stress as it also delays the period.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.,.Dr.Srilatha
