Not sure why you asked this under "Computers and Internet" but if you are not sure, see a doctor, get a proper test, or buy another at the pharmacy, test again.
If 8 days late better check it out.
Also stop having unprotected sex, pregnancy is one of the minor side effects of that. Some STD leave you with side effects for life.

It might be too early too check. It normally takes 9 days or more for your egg to attach to your uterus. Then maybe 3-5 days for your body to start producing the hormones that are detected on the home pregnancy tests. So you can assume at least a couple weeks before your body starts to produce the hormones that are produced when you are pregnant.
The home tests are set at a very high level. Your hormones might take another 1-2 weeks to get to the level that will work for the test. So literally it could take up to a month after you had sex to even know if you are pregnant.
Missing your period is a sign, but some girls have periods when they are pregnant. I think you might need to wait a few more days and check again.
Your HCG is probably not high enough to say you are pregnant, but it doesnt mean you arent.

Yes, of course you could be preganant. Not only are you at risk for pregnancy, but STDs! Girl, take control of your life and practice "safer" sex.
See a health provider. If you can't afford to see a doctor, look online or in the phone book at your local health community providers to render a blood preganancy test.
Recommend getting an iud as birth control, but it will not protect you from STDs.
Stop the madness and don't put yourself through this emotional roller coaster.

Are you trying to get pregnant? You could be late because of stress, changes in your diet, etc. Just relax... wait a week and take another pregnancy test... and if it comes up negative & you still haven't started, go see your primary care physician!!!!

You could very well be pregnant. If you're having unprotected intercourse and you're period is 8 days late, it may be too soon to tell whether you're pregnant, but I think your signs are telling you that you are pregnant.
I hope I helped! Good luck with everything.

The best thing to do is go to your doctor, with the symptoms you are having it tells me that you may be pregant. I would go to the doctor and they can do a blood test to find out 100%.
Good luck and congratulations if you are.

Yeah, you could be pregnant anyway.
My wife was late, and she took pregnancy tests twice - both times with the cheap, generic store brand test.
She still THOUGHT she was pregnant tho - she "felt" like she was, so she bought a more expensive one (EPT I think) and it turned out she WAS pregnant.
