I am not pregnant :-)
I hope to join this group again when I actually decide to become a mother.

To those of you who are truly looking to have a baby—best of luck!!!
KISSES
I picked up a test, ran it, and now I’m thinking I’ll have to do it all over again. It looks like I botched a step somewhere, even though I followed the instructions to a T—but then again, I’m easily the most clumsy person on the planet.
Fortunately, the results came back negative this time, but I’m going to run another one tomorrow just to be certain.
I see people posting here saying they knew they were pregnant from the very first second, but I’m not feeling any of that intuition.
It’s starting to feel more and more like this delay is purely psychological. I’ve been under an immense amount of stress lately, plus I might be dealing with a UTI since it’s been hurting to pee since last night.
Keep your fingers crossed that I’m not pregnant. I suppose I’m one of the rare ones on this forum who isn't actually looking to conceive, but given my current situation—no steady job, living in a tiny rental apartment, and being in a relatively short-term relationship—this would honestly drive me to despair...
Thanks to everyone for the advice, especially John Young3 🙂

I was referring to actual intercourse.
I just realized
I’m a bit out of it right now, so my brain isn't even functioning properly.
I'm definitely taking a test tomorrow, but honestly, I'm terrified of what it might show.

I am not certain what kind of protection you were utilizing. If you were using condoms or birth control pills, there is likely no reason for concern. However, pulling out... well, it isn't foolproof. It might be nothing at all, especially since anxiety itself can delay a cycle, but you should eliminate the doubt and just buy a test. Even those cheap ones from CVS or Walgreens for $25 or $12 work perfectly fine, believe me. My own test showed a positive result that I was dreading to see.
In any case, good luck. 👋
Condoms plus pulling out.
Unfortunately, I'm not on the pill, but after this incident, I definitely will be!
Hello everyone.
I’ll get straight to the point.
Today marks day 40 of my cycle, which means I am LATE. Over the last six months, my cycle length has typically fluctuated between 26 and 36 days.
About ten days ago, I experienced all my usual PMS symptoms—lower abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, and so on—but my period still hasn't arrived. 👎
My partner and I have been consistently using protection during intercourse, supplemented by pulling out before he finishes.
Now, given that my period is later than usual, and considering what I've read online about how PMS symptoms can mimic early pregnancy signs, I'm starting to panic about the possibility of being pregnant (which is absolutely not what I want right now).
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?
THANKS
