Help!! Test questions


Question Posted Saturday November 23 2013, 1:42 am

Alright first off I apologize in advance and please reply nicely.
I'm very nervous. I've been taking sooo many preg tests and I'm beyond paranoid. I've been getting cramps and some soreness in one breasts.
Had sex and he wore a condom. Didn't break!
I took two equate tests and both negative!
I also took a bunch of cheap ones and a bunch of them were negative. I also stored one in the car and since it was cold later on I looked at it then had another line. Test not to read after ten minutes.
I took another this morning and it was negative.
I also took a different one and read it within the 2 minutes it said then I think I saw another line.. Not sure
I'm so confused I thought you shouldn't read the test after so long
Please say I'm not pregnant!! But good thing is I've been getting cramps

First off with taking all those tests and they are all negative stop worrying, you are not pregnant.

It is not as easy to get pregnant as one might think. It is actually very complicated. Condoms are 85% effective in preventing pregnancy. In order to get pregnant you must have unprotected sex during a specific time of your cycle. This is the time you are most likely to be fertile and for 80% of women it is the middle two weeks of their cycle from the 7th day to the 21st day of a 28 day cycle.

It is some time during these 14 days that your ovary ejects an egg. When it does you are fertile for a 3 day window. Since sperm only live for 3 days couples trying to have a baby will have sex every third day during this time period or more often. Getting pregnant is more luck than rocket science.

You don't mention your age but if you are over 14 and having sex then you should be on birth control. There is a Federal Law called HIPPA which allows you to ask your doctor for birth control. This law affords young people total confidentiality over their reproductive systems. Your parents will never know your doctor prescribed the medication. All you need say to the doctor is you invoke your rights under HIPPA and if mom is in the exam room she will be asked to leave. This is when you can talk to the doctor about anything concerning your reproductive health including birth control.

This law was not passed to give teenagers free license to have sex. It was passed so they would seek medical help for anything related to their reproductive health that they might be too embarrassed to speak with their parents about. You do not need parental permission if you are over age 14 to see a doctor for anything regarding your reproductive health or system including questions you might have.

Some grandfatherly advice here. You should be placing more trust in the home pregnancy test. Taking two or even three to confirm the tests is I would say being cautious. To take any more is bordering on paranoia. Not knowing your age limits me in how to say this next thought so I will just say it.

From what you have written I would think it is in your best interest to refrain from having sex until you are older and more mature. If you had sex because some boy said something to the effect, "If you love me you will have sex with me." That boy did not love you; not by the same definition of love you have for him. He lusted for you that is way different than love.

Never have sex to prove your love for someone. Sex is the result of a loving relationship not the proof of one. The next time a boy says something like that to you, and there will be more times. Send him on his way, he does not love you, at least not the way you love him.

There's a good chance you aren't pregnant since you took a bunch of them and they came out negative.

You didn't say how long ago you had sex but since the condom didn't break then you should be fine.

Once you get your period, you'll know for sure lol. But the reason why you probably missed it is probably because you're really paranoid. Stress causes missed periods.

Anyways, condom didn't break and tests came out negative. You're fine.

If you're going to continue having sex, get on birth control. If you can't handle this kind of stuff, you shouldn't be having sex.

You probably aren't pregnant. Your breasts may just be growing and the cramping may mean your period is about to start.

It sounds like you aren't pregnant.

You don't mention how long ago you had sex, or when your next period was expected, and those details would help us answer with more certainty if the tests you took were reliable - but even without that information - it seems like you aren't pregnant. There isn't any reason to think you are, if the condom was used properly, and without a problem.

You might not like this advice, but in all honestly, you should stop having sex. If you are experiencing this degree of panic, when a condom was used and used properly without a problem, then you just aren't emotionally equipped to be having sex with anyone. You just aren't ready.

It's okay to be afraid of being pregnant. It's perfectly good to know you don't want to be pregnant, but this amount of paranoia and anxiety means you shouldn't be having sex at all until you can approach it with a healthier and calmer appreciation of the risks.

Stop hurting yourself. Don't have sex at all, if you can't handle the fallout.
