un-normal period?

[bellaaa401]

I came off my pill on 22nd april and normally i come on two days after (24). But i have been coming on and off but not spotting as such. this went on from 22nd-25th.  Also,on the 25th i started getting really bad cramps.  i finally came on my period on 26th but still something isn't right.  I took a pregnancy test on 26th but i'm not pregnant, but i also keep feeling sick. Should i wait a week and then take a test or go to the doctors?

I have been reading up and some people know if they are pregnant within about 6weeks. Do you think its worth going to the doctors tomorrow? Will they know anything about whats wrong with me??

Hi!
From the sound of things, you may wish to schedule an appointment.  Women are pretty in tune with their bodies and you say something isn't right.  The symptoms you mentioned would not prompt me to send my patient to the emergency room, but I would schedule her in the office in a week or two and then if she was feeling much better, she could cancel the appointment, or come in anyway.

I hope that is helpful!  Also, it never hurts to do "one more" preg test!

Good luck!
