Hey guys,
So my last period came on the 8th of August after a 28 cycle, which was amazing for me because my cycles have been all over the place since last winter. (Never shorter, but either regular or then really late). I place all blame on my eating disorder, for I have a really difficult bulimia. It's now the 17th of September and no period. I had protected sex three times one week after my last period, out of which one time there wasn't even any ejaculation. Now I know that condoms do fail from time to time, but because it was early in my cycle and we were still careful, I didn't worry. Now however, I am getting a bit antsy. I've taken two pregnancy tests. One last friday when I was over a week late with the first urine of the day and it was negative, and the other when I was 3 days late. So I've got two negative tests and no real symptoms. No morning sickness or bloating or anything, and by now I'd be 5 weeks pregnant. However, I have been extremely tired all the time, but that might be due to my eating disorder because it causes deficiencies... But any reassurance would be great because I really don't want to stress about it any more than I do naturally, because that can only make them even more absent.
Thanks in advance.

An eating disorder can affect the amount of nutrition your body will get and if a woman's body is stressed/taxed because of poor nutrition (or simply because it's stressed or sick), not having periods or not having regular periods is one of the possible consequences.
As you already have irregular cycles, it is entirely likely this is part of your continuing menstrual irregularities.
As for the extreme tiredness, the eating disorder can totally affect that/be the culprit of that as well.
If you really think it is likely you have gotten pregnant, a blood test from a doctor's office is the most precise one possible.
Take care!
