First off welcome to girl-mom. I was a bit of a lurker to begin with too. There is always a chance that you could be pregnant especially if you have had unprotected sex. When did you take the pregnancy test? My advice would be to maybe wait a day and then take another test and see what the result is.

Welcome!! Like Chatterbox said wait a day and take another test. If that still comes back negitive and you do not get your period, go to your doctors or a local clinic. I am not sure how old you are but if your worried about your parents the doctors can not tell your parents and they should not put the test on your insurance information. Just tell them that its private and you do not want your parents to know. Good Luck!

You don't even have to pay privately. In Washington we have a program called Take Charge, which will pay for birth control and an annual exam at no cost, and no notification to your parents. If you're in Western Washington, try ppww.org .

Welcome Heather :)

I would try testing again in a few days. Ironically, the stress of wondering if you are pregnant can sometimes make your period late.

Good luck and nice to meet you :)

Listen to your body

how do you feel? When i found out i was pregnant, I woke up one morning ( not with sickness) and just had a feeling I was pregnant, and I was only 3 weeks. The test turned out very faint, but it was positive (and i did 3 just to make sure)

Welcome.

I'd say test again. Its possible to get negative tests while pregnant.

Good luck.

welcome! nothing lke a good pregnancy scare to put life in focus! i'm sorry you're so stressed. i know that take-three-tests-in-a-week feeling but dmn is it expensive. i have had to FORCE myself to wait a week between tests to get accurate results without wasting those expensive sticks. i hope all is well with you.

welcome. i'd for sure take a test. I thought I was pregnant the beginning of the year & i think a lot of it had to do with stress. because i wasn't pregnant ...
but get tested & good luck.
