Re: I might be pregnant
Well, first question: have you recently had unprotected sex?
If yes there's always a possibility that you're pregnant, whether you've used multiple methods of birth control or not.
Are your periods regular, or regulated by any sort of medication? Do you tend to have light periods or spotting? Have you ever missed a period before?
Sometimes, women do simply skip periods, but it can also be caused by a change of diet, weight loss, stress, medication, illness ... there are myriad factors. Can you think of any change in your day-to-day life that could have affected your period's timing?
If your period is often light or you get spotting throughout the month, it could be that you're just experiencing a by-product of its natural moderation.
If two home tests have told you that you're not pregnant, it might be worth getting another home test of a different and (if possible) more reputable brand. Of course the best clarification would come from your GP, or a gynaecologist.
Can I ask, why are you unable to go to the doctors' by yourself? If there's a family planning clinic nearby, you should be able to talk to them and they'll be able to confirm if you're pregnant without even knowing your name.

If not, do it. I'm beginning to get the impression that 50% of TF is populated by literate parrots/sentient mirrors.
