Hello. I am 22 years old and got off birth control about 8 months ago. I usually have periods that last 7 days, very heavily.
This month I freaked out because I was 11 days late. I took 2 pregnancy tests -negative.
My period started in the evening (unusual) and was very light. It goes for about 8 hours then stops for 8 hours. This has been going on for 3 days now. I also have symptoms of pregnancy...
Lightheaded a lot (when I stand up)
Bloating
Mood change (that's what my boyfriend tells me)
Cramps (which I never get)
Small headaches
Taking naps everyday
Yet, I don't have tender breasts.
I took another test this morning... again negative. What is wrong with me??

A change in your menstrual cycle can occur for many reasons.

Have you seen your doctor?

No I don't have a doctor (no insurance). I was hoping I could figure this out without hefty bills.

Maybe you are pregnant just not far along enough to tell ? The hormone levels are different in everyone. Wait a week or two n take another test or go to the dr n get a blood test or maybe planned parenthood or something.
