Yes, we ALWAYS use protection. Have been together a year and have always used condoms.

Answer 1

go to the doctor. stress also keeps you from getting your period. calm down, it'll come.

Answer 2

Here are 5 common signs of early pregnancy. You may experience all, some or none of these symptoms.

1. A Missed Period. Missing your period is the most clear-cut sign of pregnancy. But it is not definitive, as stress or other factors may cause irregular periods.
2. Frequent Trips to the Bathroom. Even before missing a period, most pregnant women report having to go to the bathroom more often. You may even have to get up during the night! This occurs after the embryo has implanted in the uterus and begins producing the pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This hormone triggers frequent urination.
3. Fatigue. Utter exhaustion is a very early sign of pregnancy. Fatigue is a result of high levels of the hormone progesterone.
4. Morning (and Noon and Night!) Sickness. Guess what? That queasy feeling isn't limited to mornings. Most pregnant women who experience morning sickness feel slightly nauseated at other times during the day as well. About half have vomiting, but very few have severe enough morning sickness to develop dehydration and malnutrition.
5. Sore (and Enlarged) Breasts. If you're pregnant, your breasts will probably become increasingly tender to the touch, similar to the way they feel before your period, only more so. Once your body grows accustomed to the increase in hormones, the pain will subside.

Answer 3

If you are a week late the pregnancy test would be accurate. If for some reason you were pregnant you would be about 5 weeks and that would not be good if you were not making the hcg hormone yet.
I hope when you are pregnant you are freaking out in a good way. Having a baby is very cool when you are ready.

Somtimes when you get sick it can mess up your normal cycle. Also, somtimes it takes up to 2 weeks for some people to have a positive pregnancy test. But I'm sure you will be ok. Like I said somtimes being sick can mess up your cycle. Believe me I had the flu once and it made me anemic Low Iron so I didn't start for a while try taking an iron supplement.

Answer 5

YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT! Sweetie, you just got over the flu... Your body needs time to recover. Relax and continue to get better. You took 3 pregnancy test and they are pretty reliable. I do not believe you are pregnant. Although, if you really want to be sure make an appt. with a good doctor. I wish you the best!

Answer 6

First, stop stressing. If you took 3 pregnancy tests and they all said negative, then it is extremely unlikely that you are pregnant.

If you had the flu and were dehydrated, it could have thrown your cycle off. It just threw my wife's off a whole week.

Are you using any forms of birth control when having sex?

Answer 7

You're negative until the test says you're positive.
Ya know...stress can cause you to be late as well.
Relax, there's nothing you can do right now anyways.

Answer 8

You being sick and the worrying will make you late. Give it a couple more weeks. If you haven't started by then, take another test. Hope it works out for you.

Answer 9

A pregnacy test is usually positivie 10 days after conception. Be careful and use a condom and to be double sure use birth control.

Answer 10

No .. you are NOT! Relax! 3 tests say you're negative .. when your body goes through something like the flu, so does your menstrual cycle.... chill!

Answer 11

YOur definelty stressing your self out too much, just relax and it will come if you are not prego. Having the flu probalby didn't help much either.
