Pregnant?

[jessie77]

I have been on the pill for a number of years now and recently changed brands I have forgotten to take a few in the last packet and continued to have sex (stupid I know) and now my period is about 2 weeks late. I did a home test which came up negative but I now feel sick have aching boobs and just feel different could I be pregnant? My boyfriend and I have have just split up so if I am its bad timing!

Best thing to do is go to the docs for a test. Non of us can tell you

as 4get said, go to GP aching boobs and sickness can be a sign but can also be a sign of other things.

when did you take home test? Did you take another a few days later as the instructions say?

Hi again thanks fo rthe advice I did a test on Saturday and another one today both negative I have been really sick this morning and still feel sick now have got a spare test so will do that in 3 days time if my period hasn't arrived by then

you may be 'lucky' and have the winter vomitting bug thats going around instead. Stress can also delay it.

If next test still negative and theres still no sign of period then see GP anyway. Oh and until you know if you are or are not then watch what you eat and drink.

There is such a thing as a false negative result...so I would carry on taking the tests unless your period arrives. As redcrx rightly says, stress & worry can delay your period, or if you are pregnant you may not yet have enough HCG hormone for the test to detect positive.

In answer to your actual Q, yes you could be pregnant ~ maybe a trip to the GP would be advisable.

Good luck..I hope you get the result you want :o)

pippa , what is HCG

[Pippa68]

Human chorionic gonadotropin ~ the hormone present when you are pregnant.
