Okay, so you had sex on day four of your cycle. That would be really early to get pregnant hon. Never say never though. Wait until the time of your next period and if it hasn't happened, take another test. If it is negative, consider seeing a doctor to explore why your not menstruating. Don't immediately assume pregnancy hon. There is no reason to be scared per se. It really is doubtful that you are pregnant. And having a long cycle can happen for various reasons that are not related to pregnancy and are not serious. In my previous post, there is a list of what can cause a period to be late. Nothing super serious. More of an annoyance than anything else So, if your period doesn't show, see your doctor and see if there is an answer for lack of period at this time. good luck
Well my period only lasted 3 days and i was pregnant and lost the baby in January so that is why I am worried about it the first time we used protection but I ended up knocked up but I am really scared now

Hi there and welcome. Sorry your period is late--- that is always worrying. So, I'm wondering if you remember how many days your period lasted. I ask that because women become 'more' fertile at around day 9 of their cycle (with the first day of their cycle being the first day of their period). You can get pregnant any time though during your cycle.
The negative pregnancy tests are a good indication that you are not pregnant. :>) Occasionally a woman really is and the tests are faulty, she took it too early, used it wrong or has some odd thing going on where the hormones of pregnancy aren't registering on the test. but that IS pretty rare.
Women can be late for periods due to stress, illness, weight gain or loss, changes in routine, hormonal blips, thyroid issues, etc.
I would wait until you are supposed to get your next period and if you do not, take another test. If it is negative, you will need to see your doctor to help you figure out why you are having such a long cycle. But my guess is your period will show before then.
And please use protection! You don't need this anxiety of wondering if you are pregnant, I'm sure. good luck
