I'm 18 been with my partner for a year (having unprotective sex- was on birth control but caused me skin problems and I'm allergic too latex) - anyway I've had scares, but my last period was on the 17th of November so I won't be due yet(34 days roughly between periods) but I've recently had dark brown spotting, my stomach keep cramping like period pains but nothing? Every time I eat something my stomach feels bubbly and weird, I've had headaches and seriously tired! I've also been sick twice(felt like a wave).. I've took a pregnancy test and it said negative. But was wondering if I could still be pregnant? When should I take another test or if I'm not what else could it be? Please help and sorry for the long message x

You have to wait until you are past your next period due date, maybe 2 weeks past it, before you take a test with any degree of accuracy.

So you're worried that you may be pregnant but you don't use birth control... funny. You tried pills and that caused you skin problems. You are allergic to latex. Did you know there are other forms of birth control? Did you know they make condoms in other materials other than just latex? You were just playing with fire if you were hoping that you wouldn't get pregnant this way. I hope you're not and if it turns out that you aren't, you may want to consider no sex until you figure out what to do about birth control so you can reduce the chances of bringing another unwanted baby into this world.

Don't be sarcy! For your information I was told a few years ago my chances of conceiving was low, after months of hospital trips and medication, I have any normal chance of getting pregnant like anyone else, I actually have a doctors appointment after christmas too talk about a conceptive that could work for me, a child wouldn't be 'unwanted' as me and my partner both living in a big house and both work, we'd cope, its just not the right time is all.

My friend has PCOD, one ovary, and was told by more than 4 doctors that she'd never conceive. She has 3 children, the last one conceived with all the issues I mentioned above, and while on the pill and using a condom. Your doctor told you that the chances of conceiving are low. Well, the chances of winning the lottery are low, but it happens every single day to someone in the world.

I have to ask. If there's such a low chance of you conceiving, why are you worried, and why are you looking at birth control? Sounds like the chance isn't as low as you think.

Wait until your period is late. If you don't get it, test 2 weeks later using first morning urine. If that test is negative then wait until your next period is due and test again with first morning urine if you miss your period. If that test is negative then see a doctor for a more accurate blood test.
