Hrrmmmm... well, is there any chance you could be pregnant? (I know,
don'tya love that question?) If not... it might mean nothing. You
should probably check with your doc, but I really think there's a good
chance it could mean nothing. Sometimes our bodies just don't respond
as they ought to, even with medications that have tricked them into
"working" in the past. (I took BCPs for years and never failed to have
a withdrawal bleed... until I went on Demulen. Boy did that freak me
out... but three prego tests later, i finally decided to believe my
doctor who said, sometimes this happens...)
Good luck with this!
