…and they are all negative, but I haven’t had my period in two months?
Home pregnancy tests can be very accurate if you use them correctly. It might help to get a pregnancy test at Teen Clinic to ensure the test is conducted properly. If anything, it will give you a chance to speak with a medical provider about any concerns you have around your sexual health, including birth control and prevention methods.
There are many reasons you can miss a period besides pregnancy. Some women do not ovulate (release an egg) at all. Other women don’t ovulate once a month so occasionally they will experience a light or no period. Recent changes in weight, exercise, diet and increased stress can cause a missed or irregular period. Many women experience irregular or missed periods during adolescence when your body is still trying to “figure it out.” Keep in mind that our bodies change greatly during adolescence. Many of us learn that our bodies change and grow during puberty and this can continue throughout our teens and twenties. If you’re feeling different about your body and have concerns, it’s best to speak with a medical professional or a counselor. Teen Clinic practitioners can help too – call 303.442.5160 for an appointment.
