The last time I had sex was on 12/20/11. It was unprotected. I didn't think I was pregnant because I think I had my period, on 01/06/12. It was a week late than usual. I am trying to remember how long was my period and if it was heavy. Because I forgot to log it down on my menstrual app calendar. But I'm assuming it was 5 days as usual. Now it is 02/11/12 and no signs of my period. I taught I was just going to be late again, but calculating from the calendar, I feel like it is very late. I have took a pregnancy test at home last month and just 3 days ago. It came out negative. I haven't seen a doctor yet.

Hi, it is me who asked the question, I am new at this.
but, just wanted to add that I am currently under trimethoprim for my acne. I have been taking this medication for a year now because I would take it irregular. I saw that if I am pregnant I should stop taking this medication immediately. But I still am currently taking it. Was wondering if taking these pills affect my test results or could result in missed or very late periods? Please help me!

Hello Anon,

If you had your period in January and you recently had a negative pregnancy test then you are not pregnant. Trimethoprim will not affect your pregnancy test results. You should, however, see your OB/GYN if you have never had irregular periods and you are now more than one month late. 

Please keep us updated,

Rosa

Hey, its me again. I am not pregnant. I got my period after the 45th day. I got an STD check, and I'm just waiting for results. Planning on going on birth control again, to regulate my period normally. Is that a good idea?
