I had been using the birth control patch Ortho Evra since I was 16 I'm now 20 and I've been off the patch for about 4 months. Ive been under stress lately and I have depression. I've dropped from 115lbs to 100 in the last 1-2 months. I have had unprotected sex in the last month he pulled out and didn't even go in all the way. I'm now 10 days late for my period, I thought last week I felt it coming on but it never did, help?

Wait a few more days and take a pregnency test.

The body can do miraculous things. One of these things is if it thinks it can't support a growing child then it will stop menstruating. It is rare for this, especially in the modern world, to happen, but it was REALLY common in antiquity and prehistory. As well stress and depression will effect your cycle, especially when it is getting it's legs again after being tightly controlled for four years.

Take the pregnancy test. For the love of all that is fluffy and blue use protection if you're not prepared to be a mother. Condoms at the very least! Pull out is NOT a form of birth control. Before he pulls out he's put enough pearl jam in your sandwich to make a baby. There is more then enough semen in the pre-ejaculate to make you pregnant.

If you're doing withdrawl, then you are trying for a child. There is no two ways about it.

I agree with Craven, wait another 4 days, then test using first morning urine.

You really wouldn't have any pregnancy symptoms other than a missed period this early on.

Having said that, you also mentioned weight loss and depression. Those things can also have an effect on your period.

Sadly we really can't tell you what's going on. Pregnancy is a definite possibility, so test in 4 days, and see what it says. If it's negative wait and see what happens with your next period. If you miss it too, take another test (always use first morning urine) or get a blood test done.

Good luck.
