If your tests are negative then chances are you're not pregnant as they are 99.9% accurate.
If you have unprotected sex then you can become pregnant even if your boyfriend decides to put a condom on. Semen is produced from the penis long before the boy ejaculates (comes) so it is quite easy to become pregnant if you do this.
Why not try an IUD? Mine causes no problems at all and I'm quite happy with it.
Your body may take some time to adjust to coming off the patches which is why your periods are irregular.

No, you can have the IUD in as long as you like. I had mine in for about two years then decided to have it removed as I wanted to become pregnant. After the baby was born I had another IUD inserted and I've had that one for about 18 months now.

I began using the patch in order to regulate my periods. My tubes have been tied for a few years but my periods were a mess and i didn't want to have to remember a pill every day so I was introduced to the patch and I absolutely love it. It gives ME control over my periods instead of the other way around. For example ,I was going on vacation and was due to have my period during that time but what I did was start my new pack sooner instead of leaving the patch off for a week for my period.Then to get back on track I left my last patch on longer until I was ready to have the next months period,it worked like a charm,no spotting or anything! I don't know how safe it was for me to do that but it worked! I didn't have a period when I didn't want one. I will only do this when it's vacation time though so I figure once a year can't hurt.

i loved the patch too AT FIRST...then as time went on i started feeling extremely tired, and i always had this kinda paranoid feeling...then every once in a while i would have anxiety attacks to the point where i really felt like i was gonna faint....i also was nauseous alot on it.....after all the crap ive been hearing about in the news about it i decided to stop in january after being on it for 15 months....now my periods are irregular and i havent had one in 66 days!...i keep thinking im preg. even though i took the tests and they r neg....its crazy....oooh and i know my strange symptoms were from the patch because i never had those problems b4 and now since ive been off it it the symptoms have gone away....the patch has 60% more estrogen...thats ALOT more than ur body would EVER be capable of making on its own...i believe long term use could really do some harm, even more than whats already in the news about it....but like i said, i loved it the 1st few months too, it was very convenient and easy to manipulate ur cycle...i just would never go on it again

Don't mess with your hormones. Get an IUD! They are simple! I have a Nova T and it's my best friend :-)
