Q: 

Could I be pregnant?

By Anonymous October 8, 2017 - 2:20am

My period is 8 days late. My significant other and I have used a condom at all times. But my concern is I have been really bloated and extremely nauseated and barely eating but have cravings and mood swings... I took a pregnancy test from the dollar store on the 6th day of my missed period and it was negative.
What should I do? Should I retest in a few days and see if I am actually pregnant? The nausea is worrying me...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. Thank you for posting.

If you have been using condoms without any mishaps (no breaks or leaks) you shouldn't be pregnant. Your period may be late for others reasons, stress or illness can impact your cycle. If you test again, don't buy the kit from the dollar store. Buy a brand name and use first-morning urine.
