It would not seen that pregnancy is a possibility with 11 pregnancy tests as they are pretty acurate now. You could have a bacterial infection that is causing an abnormality in your menstrual cycle. Nerves, stress, medication, rapid weight gain or loss, and infection are all causes of an abnormal menstrual cycle so if you have not had a normal cycle since October 14th I would highly advise that you be seen by your physician for a full pelvic examination and bloodwork to help determine the cause for the abnormality in your cycles. If you have been taking tests for over a month and it still shows negative it is very doubtful that pregnancy is the cause.

They can give false negatives but usually one in eleven would be effective. Your best bet is to have a blood test performed by your physician as they are more acurate. HPT have been known to not be as effective but due to you taking so many I feel that it is a good chance that pregnancy can be ruled out. You could have a pelvic inflammatory infection which could cause the abnormal bleeding as well but anytime you have abnormal cycles such as this whether it be a heavy cycle or a missed cycle it is best to rule out infection which can be a major cause of cycle abnormality. HPT are now said to be 99.8% effective although a blood test would definately confirm if you were.
