Still Worried!

I'm really freaked out right now so if anybody can please answer, it'd help a lot.I recently stopped the pill after 4-5 years of being on it. I got my withdrawal bleed right away, and that was about 5 weeks ago. I still haven't gotten my actual "period" yet! I'm absolutely freaking out. The last time I had sex was 2 months ago. I had a quantitative blood test done 2 weeks after my last sexual episode (negative, less than .5) and since then I've taken first response early result every week since, all negatives! my boobs just recently got a little sore and feel swollen, and my lower back hurts, but I've read that coming off the pill can do this as well. any feedback would really appreciated! should I still be worrying about pregnancy?? thanks to anyone who can answer!

HPTs can be unreliable if done to early,its very unlikely never to detect pregnancy,due to fact some hcg has to be there for a pregnancy to happen.mostly its due to women testing wrong time of day.but a blood test is the most accurate form,it can detect HCG at very small amount.but definately test again in a week.

One in a million won't get a positive hpt. But when I came off the pill after being on for 6 years AF was nowhere to be found for a while. I had really strange and off cycles for about four months. Actually they never really completely regulated for more than two months at a time. Don't worry!  I had strange symptoms afterwards too and my boobs grew a whole cup size!!  And I was NOT pregnant.

From what I understand coming off the pill,can play havoc with your cycle for a while.can take time to regulate.wait another week,test again,pregnancy seems unlikely.maybe what your experiencing is impending ovulation.
