Potentially pregnant?

I recently started college and I've been under a lot of stress, but i'm worried that i could potentially be pregnant. Although I never actually had sex, my boyfriend and I did engage in foreplay at the end of june. His penis never actually touched me, and I was on yaz birth control at the time, but i had missed 2 pills and taken one late. Ever since then I've been worried. I have not had any late or missed periods, but I have been experiencing sore breats, i've been noticing blue veins, the area around my nipples looks darker and i have noticed that my breasts have become a little bit larger. I've also been having sinus problems and i feel as though there's a band around my ribcage [but i do have a history with sinus and stomach problem]). At times, I can feel my pulse in my stomach. I haven't had any sexual contact since the end of june and i stopped taking yaz at the beginning of august because i was just so sick all the time. I've taken seven home pregnancy tests [6 first response and 1 ept certainty digita] and all were negative. i also took a urine test at the doctor and it came out negative. I am just experiencing this symtoms out of stress?? or from stopping the pill??? if i am pregnant i'd be about 12+ weeks. wouldn't that show up on a hpt??

i have not missed a period, nor had a late or irregular one. am i overreacting???

I know for sure that no semen came in contact, but there could have potentially been pre-ejaculate that I didn't see.

Thanks, I thought stopping bc could cause that but then i've read some stuff that made me freak out.

also about the sore breasts that def. comes along with the birth control. Your boobs swell and hurt. it's the extra hormones.

You are def. not pregnant. First you would have missed a period. it's like less than one percent that you would still have a period while pregnant. Now if you were spotting that is a different story. But if it was a full period you should be fine. The sinus prob. and stomach prob. don't have anything to do with being pregnant. sinus prob. is prob, happening because you are so worried and stressed out that your immune system is down causing you to catch colds that you wouldn't normally contract. The band around you ribcage actually might be anxiety. You are more than likely experiencing a little bit of a panic attack when you get this feeling. And about the missing two pills and taking one late, you can miss two pills and take them both the next day and still be fine. Since you didn't even really have sex I'm 99.9% sure you are not pregnant. You would have been able to tell if you were pregnant after a month if you were. You are fine, you just need to relax.

Hope this helped :)

Did sperm ever come in contact with your vagina???
Yes, if you were 12+ weeks a test should come up positive.
Stopping birth control and stress can both cause the symptoms you are having.
