Worried

I'm 21 and me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex while I was ovulating but used the ''withdraw'' teqnique.  I am now worried that I might be pregnant.  I haven't had any irregularities in my period for almost a year and a half now.  I am 5 days late on my period.  I took a home pregnancy test and the result came up negative.  Should I take another one.  I don't want to be pregnant and I'm already preparing myself emmotionally for an abortion, I have made up my mind about it, be it the case that I am pregnant.  How long should I wait to take another pregnancy test.  Could I just be stressing myself out about it and thats why my period stays away or could it be change of seasons?  I haven't really been sexually active in quite a while, only recently became active again, could that also be a contributing factor?

If you were ovulating then its possible.stress wouldnt delay your period.as if you have already ovulated,then you will get your period within 2 weeks regardless.unless of course you are pregnant.however stress can delay ovulation.being your 5 days late.I would wait another week.and test again.if you do get your period.I would take other precautions.as withdraw technique isnt exactly the safest option.maybe go on the pill :)

it is possible that your period is late due to stress but it is also possible that you could be pregant. Wait another coupole of days and retest if still negative go to the docs so you can get bloodwirk done. x
