Still no cycle, 3 negative tests last month and monthly calculator says I should have started yesterday?

[amanda86]

My last cycle was the 26th of June and I did a monthly cycle calculator and it said I should have started on July 24th and yesterday but I haven't had another one since June. I had tubal ligation in 2007 a month later after having my second child and I'm 26 years old. Me and my husband are still very sexually active. But I'm not taking any other birth control on the side such as pills, patches, shots, etc. In the beginning of last month I took 3 of those dollar HPTs and they all came out negative. When I was in high school I would go for a while without having one. But after I had kids and took some birth control pills to regulate my cycle, I would have my cycle every month at the same time when my two friends would have their's. I haven't been without one for this long since I got pregnant with my first two kids and since high school. What do you think is going on?

dollar HPTS they don't work! get you a first response! or go to your doctor and get a urinalysis to measure your hcG levels!! i never got my period late any other time in my life, as in not getting it at all, only early good luck! i too would go 4-6 months without my period but i was very unhealthy. chances are this is not the case for you for a while! are you trying to get pregnant?

We haven't been trying to get pregnant ever since I had the tubal ligation. But we don't use any other form of protection either. A week and a half ago I had bad achy/sore/crampy pains in my front lower stomache and right side one day and it came on all of a sudden and it seemed to get worse over time, but it only lasted for a couple or a few hours. When I woke up the next morning it was gone. It's hard to tell if I'm having early pregnancy symptoms cause I've always had indigestion, headaches and feeling tired all the time and the rings around my nipples are from my last two pregnancies. I don't get much exercise and stay indoors all the time which makes me feel sluggish and I pee several times a day from eating and drinking all day.

For. Many women tubals have caused crazy periods, lack. Of periods, increased bleeding and just misery. This is why so many women get reversals. I'm guessing this is a side effect of the tubal. Not pregnancy. Lots of women on here have gotten positives on dollar store tests. I would call your doctor and have them check you out.

oh dear, when i fell pregnant when i didn't think i could, i had that same cramp you speak of, and i ended up getting my period and it was a miscarriage! it was definitely a sign for me that i was getting my period soon (or so i thought) this might be the same for you (not miscarriage, just getting your period!) i'm definitely not saying this cause it's true or to even scare you by any means but i knew someone personally who had a surprise baby because they didn't do the surgery correct! it happens with men vasectomy's too ^_^ i would definitely see a doctor as you would with any cramping and question regarding a possible pregnancy, your surgery was fairly long ago it's weird that it would just happen now! the woman i knew had one done within 2 months of finding out she was pregnant, it's very interesting for this to be happening to you 5 years later!

has your diet changed? have you quit any habits like smoking recently or taken any prescribed medications/OTC? these are other things that always halted my period or made them early

Umm..., the only drugs I do is off the shelf for allergies and pain relief, I don't smoke, and only drink socially which is once in a great while. Somtimes I feel like I don't have much of an appetite and get that gag sensation in my throat. Earlier when I was fixing my pet lizard's food, the smell of the food just made me gag, lol. Also last month one morning I was outside in the backyard walking around several feet from the door and I could smell my brother-in-law's cologne when he was walking through the house while I was outside.
