So I am 5 days late, and at first I was not stressing to to much over it, but now I'm very worried. I had unprotected sex but he did not cum inside me. I now there IS still a possibility that I can be pregnant. I took a take at home test and it came out negative.I'm still worried though I need advice.

Hi yaya412,

If your period was due, you should have an accurate reading.

I have another question, the guy i was having this problem with,
he bought me the pregnancy test and he bought the 5 days before your missed period even though i was late, would that show the wrong result?

HI yaya412,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  If you had unprotected sex and you were on your fertile days, your chances are higher. If you are five days and took a pregnancy test correctly, most likely you are not pregnant.  Stress can sometimes cause delay on your cycle.  You might want to wait and retake a home pregnancy test or see a doctor.

Here are some resources for you
