Sevre cramping... in my upper stomach?

I started my period when I was 14. I had it for four months, regular. And then it stopped for two years. I went to the doctor, they tried to get me on birth control; it turns out I am allergic to a chemical in it and it causes 'rapid heartbeat' anyways, My period is almost noraml now, just a little heavy.I started having sex when I was 15 but I never did it on my period. I did however, do it on my period for the first time last month. Well, this month I was not only 14 days late BUT I am having horriable cramps. Sometimes it hits me and I can't even breathe, I haven't slept in two days. I took two pregnancy tests (because not only was i late, but my nipples where also extremly sore/tender and bright pink) they both turned up negative. So my question is number one, why are my nipples so bright pink/tender and sore? Number two, they say you get cramps because your uterus is contracting... well, your uterus is on your lower stomach, so why are my cramps below my ribs? And did having sex last month have anything to do with this?

Yes, I am on it right now. That's why I'm still wondering why I'm dizzy, and nauseas, and I have such horriable cramps. It is my third day and I haven't been able to get out of bed. Ususally I have moderant cramps on my second day, but since the minute I started bleeding the cramps have been so bad!!!! I have actually had moments where I can't breathe becuse they are so bad. I have heard people say that you can be rpregnant and still get a period? I never knew of that, and I really didn't believe it when I heard it becuase your period is when you pass a egg. So I have no idea. But yes, I got my period I was 14 days late, it was super heavy the first day, and the second day and then it just stopped. now it's like 'spotting'

Ok first off, you can get pregnant ANY time during your cycle, but for most women it usually happens about 14 days before you period. so you should be using a condom every single time you have sex. Have you gotten you period yet? or are you still late? If you still haven't gotten it, i would go to the Dr, there is always a change of a ectopic pregnancy
