I'm in my 20s, in a long-term relationship. That said, I am well aware that I could become pregnant if I am having sex. I am old enough and in a situation where I can deal with the consequences, so I really don't need any sex ed lectures. Thanks in advance :)
Last year, I was on Depo Provera (up until the end of August). For those who are not familiar, it does stop the user from menstruating entirely. I got my last injection in May of 2008.
Since then, my fiance and I have been using only condoms, putting them on halfway through. We are both aware that semen can escape before climax.
I have not had a proper period since December. I spot occasionally, but nothing substantial. I've been feeling nauseous on occasion, and have gained weight (although that might be due to other circumstances).
I have taken several home pregnancy tests and gone to the doctor to get blood tests. All negative.
The reason I am concerned is that when my mother was pregnant with me, all of her tests came back negative too. She didn't find out until 7 months. Doctors have reassured me that this is rare. Not all that reassuring, though, if you ask me.
My question is, should I believe my test results? How do I find out if it's legitimate? Anyone else had a similar problem? (link)

How will knowing this answer sooner than you can see for yourself change a thing in your behavior? Start acting like a grown up now, and if you are pregnant you might make a good mother.

An insult was entirely uncallled for.
If I was pregnant, I would want to know early so that I could
a) stop the minimal alcohol consumption that I do engage in,
b) be sure to get the proper prenatal care,
c) have a nursery prepared.
Act like a grown-up now? Try being a 21 year old homeowner while being a university student. Try being engaged at the age of 19.
In the future, keep your insults to yourself, and distribute them only when needed.
Thanks.
