reader, anonymous, writes (22 March 2007): Hey, believe me, I really really REALLY dont think youre pregnant. I take a low dose hormone pill like regular, having a period every month, and I take it when I wake up in the mornings. So, anywhere between 6 am im working on the farm, to 11:30 on the weekends when im not working... and I dont use any other form of protection and I have sex all the time and ive never gotten pregnant.
So honestly, judging by that youre not pregnant, cuz of you could be, I would be by now!
Being hungry at the moment probably has a lot more to do with having totally messed up your normal hormonal cycle, by overriding it with the pill and not having periods. Your body is very full of homones and you havent given youself a break... which isnt totally healthy, increased risk of side effects like DVT, breast cancer, migranes, weight gain etc etc...
You might want to have a period at least every other month otherwise your risks of serious side effects ar hugely increased!

Well, you said there hasnt been a rips or tears for several months, and you said you used a condom when you had sex 2 days before this. I dont see how there could be any sperm inside you if you used a condom. You sound like you get a bit paranoid about contraception and pregnancy, like i do. I dont see how you can be pregnaunt as you said you havnt had any unprotected sex or any ripped condoms, so you should be alright. If you cant settle though, its best to go to the doctor and have a chat with him/her. And a pregnancy test if you want to be 100 percent sure.
