Help - Could I be pregnant?

[emily92728]

Hi everyone!

Okay, so first of all my partner and I are very safe about sex. We always use condoms, but lately i've been worried about being pregnant. My period is almost a week late and I normally have very regular periods. I have been feeling very dizzy and nauseous in the mornings and at night, as well as having diarrhoea over the last 2 days. Gross I know and I'm sorry!

Anyway I took a pregnancy test a few days ago first thing in the morning but it came up negative. The symptoms have continued and reading all the info online I found out its bad to drink too much water and/or caffeine the night before the test, of which I unfortunately did both. I can't get into the doctors for another week and just wanted to know if there was any chance I could be pregnant? Did you have these symptoms? My partner and I have been together for a long time and even though we weren't trying, pregnancy wouldn't be unwelcome.

Any advice would be helpful!! Please and thank you :)

Also I have been having joint pain, nothing too intense and I would relate it to "growing pains". At 23 I don't think I'll be growing anymore haha!

Your probably not pregnant,  especially because you practice safe sex.  The fact that your worrying about pregnancy can cause enough stress to actually have symptoms or be late with your period.
