Yes, being paranoid about being pregnant can actually cause you to feel CERTAIN symptoms ( not the obvious ones.) Please use condoms and/or other forms of birth control. Relax and don't stress about, that could also make your period come late, which could in turn cause you to get paranoid about being pregnant all over again. It's a vicious cycle, so please be careful and calm about it. You should get it soon. If push comes to shove, please get an accurate pregnancy test and see if you are pregnant or not.

The best way to avoid worry about pregnancy is to abstain from having sex. If that isn't possible then always have safe sex. Don't let him anywhere near you without protection. Get on the pill if at all possible for the best birth control. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
