I was on birth control for about a year and I stopped taking them in the middle of March. I have had my periods regularly every month with them being 28-29 days apart. I was due for my last period on August 10 and I still have not started. I took a pregnancy test about 2 weeks ago and it was negative.. (it was one of the stick tests.) I haven’t had many symptoms of being pregnant… only my appetite has increased some, I go to the bathroom more often, and I have been sick a few times. I did feel like I was starting and I cramped for a few days but I never started. My stomach kind of feels different to me. I am 5'7" and used to weigh around 115 pounds, I have gained a little weight..would I be showing already? I have had more discharge than normal. I have had unprotected sex about every other day, so I was kind of thinking I was pregnant..but the negative test makes me think different.. Anyone else had problems with a negative test? And do I sound like I could be pregnant

You most definitely could be. I just had a friend get 2 negative results, but the doctor's office test was positive. When women take a pregnancy test the test is just looking for the presence or absence of the pregnancy hormone "HCG." Every woman's personal level of HCG is different when they're pregnant. My friends level was so low that is was just not registering on the test (giving her negative results.) Also, because of the low hormone level she feels wonderful and has not had typical pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness, fatigue, or headaches. However, my sister is pregnant and took 3 tests, all 3 showed a positive result within seconds and she is having a rough pregnancy, the doctor says her HCG level is quite how (which gave rapid positive results on the test.) I would definitely see a doctor soon because you very well may be pregnant, with a low level of HCG in your system.

With my 1st child, I took a pregnancy test the day after I missed my period and it came up negative, I now have a beautiful 8 year old girl. When she was 1 I stopped taking birth control and my period was so out of wack, I was sending my husband to the store every other week for a test. I think of all the wasted money on those tests... I just had my second child 8 months ago.
I would take one more test and if it comes back negative, trust it. Your mind can trick your body into acting pregnant, even if you're not, if you worry to much over it. If you want a baby and are in a place in your life where you are truely ready, I say go for it, otherwise, protect yourself. Babies are hard business.

I doubt you would be showing already and I would not worry about symptoms of anything... some women don't get any. You might have tested too early with the last test... if I were you I would buy another test... test with first morning urine and make an appt at my Dr Good Luck
