Default new to this...please help :)

Hey Ladies.
I've got a possible problem/blessing. Forgive me if this is a little lengthy, just want to give you probably more details than you really want, but enough so you can advise me. My last period began on 2/7/05 and this week I'm supposed to be having another, but it's not happening...so counting this one, it'll be 3 that I've missed. Here's the catch though, the first one I missed was before I started sleeping with my boyfriend so it was physically impossible for me to be pregnant then (making it 2 I will miss since I've been sleeping with him). I have been on birth control for a year and my periods have always been very regular (until they just stopped happening) and symptom free. He was using condoms while I was on antibiotics for a sinus infection, and when I was done with the antibiotics he quit using condoms and has been using the "pull out" method (and I was still on bc). When I went to the dr. on 3/29 they gave me a pee pregnancy test just to be sure and it was negative. That was 4 days after I started having sex with him and 8 days before my 2nd missed period. Aside from missed periods, my other potential symptoms include dizziness (pretty often and for a few weeks, which I initially thought was related to the sinus infection), some cramping/pain in the lower abs, I'm always in the mood for sex, always hungry (not a big eater before, so this one bothers me), I've been pretty emotional lately, and the only color discharge I'm seeing is a little bit of mostly white/barely pinkish stuff. I've only recently been feeling nauseous, but probably b/c I'm worrying myself sick over this. My boobs don't hurt & I'm not peeing all the time. I'm sorry, I know this is a lot, but I just wanted people with experience to help me out If I'm not pregnant, I would like to know what's wrong with me. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks, Cortney

Cortney, first of all stress and worry can delay your period. And birth control can mess your cycle up too, you dont say what bc you are on. You should do another test now and it reads negative then I would give it another week or two to try and relax, if hasnt returned go see your doctor. If you are pg then it is possible the test you had was done too early.
The pg symtpons dont always mean anything so I wouldnt read into them too much, trust me many women who are ttc get these every month and turn out not to be pg. It is your mind playing tricks you analyse everything, and these same symptoms of possible pregnancy can also match normal period symptoms.

if you are worried you should see your docotor regardless.

Ok, so here's an update for anyone interested. No real period has come still, only a little brown with wiping. All home preg. tests were neg. and the dr's pee one too. They practically refused doing any blood work though, which bothers me. She checked me for the pain I was having, irritated whatever the problem is (b/c it has been constant ever since instead of coming and going), and I'm now scheduled for a ultrasound next week. My friend thinks it is a cyst, she may be right. I don't care what it is so long as they fix it.
