What Causes Pregnancy Symptoms And Negative HPT While On Contraceptive Pill?

Hi. Im 26 years old and I m. Having a lot of pregnancy symptoms but I started having them right after I had my period which was 2 days late. Usually I m always right on time with a 25 day cycle. I use contraceptive films but most of the time i forget to put them in at first. I took a hpt and came out negative. I now have 12 days left til I m supposed to start my next period. I don t know what s going on with me. Can someone please help?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I understand your concern.
Vaginal contraceptive films contain spermicide- which helps in contraception by killing sperms.
* It seems that you are irregular in using the film. So it's very much likely that you had forgotten it while having sex during your fertile days. In such a case, the pregnancy symptoms can arise due to conception itself.
- bleeding at the time of menses/ couple of days before or after it can be Implantation bleeding.
* alternatively pregnancy like symptoms are seen without pregnancy- in case of hormonal imbalance/ GI disturbances.This needs to be investigated after you exclude pregnancy by pregnancy testing.
* Please make it a point to use contraceptive film regularly to avoid such confusion in future.
Thanks.
