First a bit of background info: My girlfriend had been taking hormonal birth control (low dosage, Yasmin) for quite some time. Eventually she decided that the did not like the ‘feeling’ that it gave her, so she was going to go off of it and try an alternative method next time she went to her doctor. In the meantime, we’ve decided to be extra careful with condoms, which wasn’t too difficult as we used them consistently while she was taking the pill as well. After she went off the pill, she had a normal period in the beginning of October. We continued to have protected sex with condoms. None broke, and they appear to have been used correctly. She hasn’t had a period since, and it’s been about 6 weeks, perhaps a bit more, since her last one. When her period was a week late, we got a pregnancy test and it came out negative. The period still hasn’t come, so she took another pregnancy test today. It came out negative. We last had sex on November 6, I think, so it’s been only 9 days since the last risk. I know 10 days is recommended, but I’m wondering how accurate these past tests could have been. We’re both students and obviously are quite stressed at the moment. She has been having some personal difficulties lately, and combined with academic stress and job stress, she is under a great deal of general stress. We both know that stress can put off menstruation, but I’m not sure for how long. She’s scheduled an appointment with her doctor for this coming Wednesday, and we plan to check another home pregnancy test if her period hasn’t arrived in the next few days. Can someone explain to me a little bit about what’s going on? What are our pregnancy risks like? How does general stress factor into this? [/QB][/QUOTE]
