Hi, I’m 19 years old, have been with my boyfriend for 3 years.

I stopped taking the pill at the start of August because I was on medication and I had unprotected sex on the day I stopped taking it. It’s been like 2 or nearly 3 missed periods and nothing. I have been waiting for my period to come so I can go back on the pill. I took a pregnancy test on Monday 27th, negative. So surely by now if I was pregnant, I would have produced enough hormones to show a positive on a test? I have had quite bad cramps in my sides and feel like I am going to start my period but nothing (that is my only symptom other than aching breasts every now and then but that’s normal for when I’m going my period).

What should I do? I don’t think I’m pregnant but I want to know. Should I just start taking the pill again, hoping it will bring on my period? Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.
