Questionmy last menstruation started on july 10, 2010. it is now august 18 and i have not gotten my period yet. my partner and i had unprotected sex on the 28th day of my cycle onwards. my cycle usually ranges from 27-35 days although last month my cycle was 37 days long. i took 2 home pregnancy urine tests august 17 and 18 and both were negative. last december 2008 i was prescribed depo provera to induce mensruation by a gynecologist because according to her ultrasound findings i did not ovulate. do you think it is possible that i am pregnant? please help i am very confused.
if my cycle varies from 27-37 days long what are my safe/unsafe days? from what day of my cycle is considered as the first day of missed period? the 28th or the 38th? thank you for your help.
AnswerI don't think you're pregnant. It's more likely that you didn't ovulate, since ovulation brings on a period 14 days later. This is especially likely since you apparently didn't ovulate in 2008. Lots of things can prevent ovulation, the main one being stress. Usually it takes care of itself with time. If you go 3 months without a period, I would see your doctor.
Since your cycle varies quite a bit, it's hard to know when safe days are. Your fertile time is 14 days before your next period starts, and it's best to avoid sex within 5-7 days of that. Since you can't predict very well your next period, it's very hard to know safe/unsafe days. You might want to consider the pill, which would give you regular cycles and good birth control. As much as your cycle varies, you may not ovulate very much. When you do want to get pregnant, you might need some help to ovulate regularly. Best wishes.
