I am 19 years old, My last period started on May 28th and lasted about a week.
I have been having severe pain in the middle of my cycle due to ovulation for the past 5 months; as a result, I went to have a pap smear done on June 16th.
I was having what I thought was ovulation pain on the 15th of june.
The pap results came back abnormal. They said it was nothing to worry about, and it was not cancerous, they would check again at my yearly exam.
The doctor also told me to start birth control after my next period to help regulate my ovulation pain.
However, now my period is 12 days late.
I have had protected sex (condom) a few times since the doctors visit. So I took a Home Pregnancy Test (first response brand) 4 days after my missed period. It came back negative.
I waited four more days and took another test, it was also negative.
I waited three more days, and I took a test with my first morning urine, it was also negative.
My period is usually pretty regular, but now I am stressed because I am waiting on my period :/
Is this just my period being abnormal because of hormones? Should I start my birth control pills, or wait until after my period (if it arrives)?
