What’s most likely to be going on?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been feeling really hormonal and emotional lately, more than usual, these past three months and I missed my period this month.

I haven’t been sexually active since October, I was mostly on birth control and I tested negative to pregnancy in the first few weeks.

I’ve had what I assumed must be periods, for the past three months since having been sexually active.
I can’t be pregnant, can I? Or going through premature menopause?

Okay, let's try to break this down step-by-step:

1. You've been feeling extra hormonal and emotional for the past 3 months - that's definitely a sign that something could be going on with your body. Sudden changes in mood and energy levels can be indicators of hormonal shifts.

2. You missed your period this month, which is also an unusual sign. Missing a period when you're not sexually active could potentially mean you're going through some kind of hormonal change.

3. However, you said you've been getting what you assumed were periods for the past 3 months, even though you haven't been sexually active since October. That's a bit confusing.

Based on all the information you've provided, a few possibilities come to mind:

- It's possible you could be going through some kind of hormonal imbalance or even the beginnings of perimenopause, even at a relatively young age. Irregular periods and mood changes can be early signs of that. I'd recommend talking to your doctor to get checked out.

- There's also a chance you could be pregnant, even if you tested negative a while ago. Sometimes it can take a little while for pregnancy tests to detect it, especially in the very early stages. I know you said you haven't been sexually active, but it's always worth getting checked out.

- It's also possible the "periods" you've been having aren't actually true periods, but something else going on with your cycle. Irregular bleeding can happen for a number of reasons.

The best thing to do would be to schedule an appointment with your gynecologist as soon as possible. They can run the right tests and exams to figure out what's causing these changes and get you the right treatment. Don't try to self-diagnose - it's always better to have a professional take a look.

I know it can be scary when your body starts acting up, but try not to stress too much. There are lots of potential explanations, and your doctor will be able to get to the bottom of it. Just focus on taking care of yourself in the meantime. Let me know if you have any other questions!

If you have tested negative on a pregnancy test, could be premature menopause. Do you have kids or want kids?

Not really

Well getting off birth control changes a lot give it 6 months and your probably not pregnant. Things change after you get off birth control.

Smells relationships and hormones change. My sister can't stand the smell of her own dog! She has had him for 5 years. Then my friend broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years.

When I ended mine for 7 months all over the place extra needy and whiny till my body recovered.

Doctors won't tell you the down sides of the pill just you won't get knocked up and get free sex! Let's face it if we did we would still choose sex.
