Am I pregnant?

Hi. I am 23 years old and When I first got my periods I was 15. In starting I had irregular periods (sometimes 10 days periods and sometimes no period for months max 4 or 5 months) Then during this time I gained 15 kilos weight as well. Before getting married I lost all the weight and I start having my periods normally.When I got married I started taking birth control pills and left them after 8 to 9 months when I planned to have a baby. After going off from birth control pills I had many issues, I started having acne, hair loss and stuff plus I skipped my one period right after stopping birth controll pills. After one month I got periods and then I used to have longer period cyle 40 to 45 days for 3 months and then I got shorter cyle 20 to 18 days for 2 months. after that I still haven't got my periods and its been almost 3 months. I did 4 pregnancy test all came negative and one blood test(one month ago) came negative too. I have headaches, severe fatigue and sometimes cramps like pain in my lower abdominal. Stomach pain, nauseous feeling as well. I dont know if I'm pregnant or not I just did test 3 days ago and came negative. I'm sooo depressed from the past 3 months and having suicide thoughts as well. I dont know what to do. Please someone help me.

Oh,, okay.  Ovarian cysts are very normal to have one occasionally.  They also can throw off cycles and hormones.  They typically pass on their own and when I had one pass . . . holy cow, it was bad cramping and heavy bleeding.   Like the worst period ever.  So, don't be surprised if that happens to you. But a simple cyst could be responsible for this period issue you are having.  Remember that PCOS is poly cystic ovarian . . . meaning cysts on ovaries in a chronic way.  So, if this goes on for a long time, then have that re evaluated.  

Have they considered the pill to normalize you?

Literally I had the same thing. Really really bad cramping and heavy periods. Plus my doctor said u dont need medications for the cysts I have because apparently it was not that bad he mentioned. I just get to know this 4 months ago that I have cysts.

Gosh, you have a lot going on.  When you had your blood test done, did they do any lab work?  I think that is the next step for you.  It doesn't look like you are pregnant or at least your doctor doesn't think you are.  But something is clearly going on causing you this irregularity.  Some women ARE just irregular but those long cycles are confusing.  I had that when I had thyroid issues and specifically hypothyroidism.  The three months without a period .  . . I'd go back to your doctor about that.  And they can check your thyroid function and your hormone levels.  I also had too much natural estrogen production when I had the period of time in which I got a period every 3 5o 4 months ---  suppressed ovulation for long stretches.  

So, this was a really long way of saying, you need to go back to your doctor specifically to check to see how your hormones are doing.  If they are balanced.  How your thyroid is doing.   Check for PCOS which is a condition that can cause this.  Etc.  good luck

I had all my tests done from doctor. I dont have pcos, or thyroid. I just had cyst on my ovary and doctor said its normal, its nothing to worry about. just keep your weight maintain. Thats is why I dont understand what is wrong with me. Thank u for your reply. I have an appointment with gynecologist after 2 weeks. But I don't know how to skip this time. I just feel so depressed sometimes and weak and tired.
