    Feeling pregnant, test is negative
    I recently got the birth control shot... I haven't had my period since then and I feel pregnant I have taken 2 tests but both were negative. I am spotting a little but not frequently and its not really red. I also have pain during intercourse. I don't know what to do?

    Stop having sex for a while. Go check in with a doctor instead of taking your store bought tests.

    Hi There I don't think it is anything to be to concerned about I can give you my unproffesional opinion it may be down to your injection and the hormones it contains I started the pill some time ago I'm no longer on it as it used to make me feel pretty much the same way simillar symptoms as being pregnant:( it is bound to make you feel a bit yucky until your body gets used to it I used to get the cramping low down also but if you are not happy or you feel there is something not quite right nip back and see your gp. :) its they onlt thing really you can do to be sure things are OK.

    You should have received a pregnancy test before you got the shot.
    Did you have any unprotected sex before you got the shot?

    I would say the chances of you being pregnant are low... but no birth control method (aside from not having sex) is 100% effective.

    You periods will be irregular because your body is adjusting its hormones to the shot you just received... eventually most women ceast to have a period at all while on the shot.

    If you are really concerned, call your doctors and request a blood pregnancy test.
