Can you still be pregnant if had a normal 33 day cycles for two months after stoppin the pill and are now in third month on 38 with no sign of period pregnancy test shows negative?

Yes, it is possible to still be pregnant even if you have had normal 33-day cycles for two months after stopping the pill and are now in your third month on 38 days with no sign of a period and a negative pregnancy test. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Early pregnancy: It is possible that you are pregnant, but the levels of pregnancy hormones (hCG) in your urine or blood are still too low to be detected by a home pregnancy test. Home pregnancy tests are not always accurate in detecting pregnancy early on, especially if you test before your missed period.

2. Irregular cycles: After stopping birth control pills, it can take several months for your menstrual cycles to return to normal. Some women may experience irregular cycles, including longer or shorter periods, for several months. This is because the body is adjusting to the absence of hormonal contraceptives and it may take time for ovulation to resume.

3. Implantation bleeding: Some women experience light bleeding or spotting around the time of implantation, which occurs when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus. This can sometimes be mistaken for a period, especially if it occurs around the time you would expect your period.

4. Other medical conditions: There are other medical conditions that can cause delayed or missed periods, such as thyroid problems, hormonal imbalances, stress, and certain medications. These conditions can affect your menstrual cycle and make it difficult to determine if you are pregnant.

Given the negative pregnancy test and your irregular cycles, it is recommended that you wait a few more days and take another pregnancy test. If your period still does not arrive and the test remains negative, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation. They can perform a blood pregnancy test, which is more sensitive than home pregnancy tests, and rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be affecting your menstrual cycle.
