“Missed periods?”
I have a bloated stomach ever since August and I had vaginal bleeding last month (OCTOBER) for 5 days and 2 negative blood tests which were done beginning of September and October. I have been sexually involved with someone in July and August.

See ob/gyn. It may be hormones to be checked.
Bloating can happen from PMS type picture. Women will get 1-2 abnormal cycles per year, whether they skip a cycle or have an extra cycle.

There are many reasons why abnormal periods occur; we want to make certain that pregnancy is or not the reason because it has huge implications about next steps. However, negative pregnancy tests usually mean hormone imbalance with very low Progesterone which is responsible for the bloating. Ask your doctor to help with natural Progesterone, NOT PROVERA which is synthetic and comes with a lot of very unpleasant side effects. But remember, having low Progesterone may mean other hormone imbalances so checking in with your doctor for full hormone testing on a regular basis is really helpful. Check out my book, Blossoming, Becoming a Woman on Amazon; it has a chapter on how to talk to your doctor and which blood tests to order.
Seems like you had a period in October. Please see your OBGyn if you do not have a period this month. Also discuss contraception if you are not planning to get pregnant.
