Light Period & Negative Pregnancy Tests: What Could It Mean?


Question
My GF and I were fooling around about 3 weeks ago... we did some extreme
petting.

Anyways fast forward a few weeks. her period usually comes the 25th-28th. It
didn't come till the 1st. However it was VERY light she said and only
experienced light cramping. This only basted 3-4 days.

So we tested her with 2 preg tests 3 days apart... both negative. around april
5th and 7th.

I usually don't penetrate her if I do its only 1-2 times WITH MY FINGER. It is
possible I had cum on myself however I am not sure. usually I just touch the
clitoris.

Notes:

1. she went off the 3 month pill 2 months ago.
2. she lost 10 lbs in 30 days ( we went on a diet) and she weighed 140 now is
126-128 lbs.
3. MAJOR STRESS SINCE THE 28th or so till now...

She does say she does have cramping as we speak.  

Answer
Dear Justin,

It sounds much more likely that the other circumstances in her life are what is affecting her cycles than a potential pregnancy.

If you had had unprotected sex, even once, I would say your chances were greater. But you are not saying that. The rapid weight loss can definitely affect the cycles, as can the stress. It can cause a bit of a hormonal imbalance which can cause irregular bleeding and even the cramping she is experiencing.

I would suggest that she wait and see what the next cycle brings. If her period comes as normal, then it has probably resolved itself. If not, then her doctor may need to put her back on a BCP to regulate her periods.

I hope this information has helped you both and answered your question. I wish you well.
