I don't normally post, just kind of read and give advice..but...
this is the first time I've been off hormonal birth control since 7th grade. I have endometreosis resulting in horrible, awful periods.
My hubby and I had sex without protection. Now I'm 2 weeks late. I've been having breast tenderness, which is unusual.
However, I've taken two pregnancy tests and they were both negative. Add to that the fact that I was told I'm infertile... and the fact that I've been having mind-wrenching, vomit-inducing cramps for the past week-and-a-half.
Not only that, but during my cycle I eat like crazy when I'm pmsing and then I can't eat for almost three days after my period starts. So I've been ravenously hungry for two weeks.. but still absolutely no sign of period.
I'd ask my mother about it, but she'd just freak.
Am I over-reacting?

Why don't you go to your doctor and get a blood test done to be sure?

Seeing as how this is the first time you've been off hormonal birth control since 7th grade, and you've taken two pregnancy tests which were both negative, I think it's just your body adjusting to the lack of hormones after being on BC for so long.

2 weeks late is generally long enough to get a positive test. You're more likely to have a false negative than positive, though.

Go to a doctor and get a blood test. Either way, if you're having horrible cramps like that and you have a history of endometriosis, you probably want to have it looked at.

you know you may have endometriosis, and the fact that you've been told that your infertile, my mother had endometriosis (she's no longer a woman cause she's got nothing left lol) but yeah, she was able to conceive, seeing as I'm here!

I agree with the others who've recommended a blood test - a negative or positive would be definitive, unlike a negative urine test which may not be. Beyond that it's hard for us to assess your situation.
