Q: Could I be pregnant?

So first off, I've had mono since December 2nd. I'm really tired because I still have that.
My boyfriend and I had protected sex while I had my period. It ended on the 15th. We had protected sex again on the 18th, and from what I figure..my egg releases on the 22th. I've been noticing symptoms for about a week or so.

My symptoms;
Dizziness
Headaches
Eating a lot
Sore nipples (noticed right before I went to bed 2 days ago).
Bloating (I didn't eat that much yesterday for dinner but I felt SO full and my stomach was really tough/hard when I pressed on it).
Constipation/Cramps
Yeast Infection (first one ever)
Even more tired than usual (even though I have mono).
Going to the bathroom A LOT (I've gone 7 times today and it's only 3 PM)

I haven't noticed weight gain because I lost 15 pounds during December because of mono.
I took a pregnancy test last night but it's still 7 days until my period. Does that negative mean anything? Could I be pregnant?

i think you may be having thses symptoms because you are sick.
if youve had protected sex i dont think you are pregnant.
alot of those symproms seem to sound like a cold or from having mono.
and sometimes when women think they could possibly be pregnant, the stress of thinking, 'am i?' or 'aren't i?' does alot more to our bodies than we think. and the stress can delay a period, and also the thoughts of if you are pregnant or not can end up causing you to have all the symptoms of pregnancy, when no pregnancy is present at all.
you may want to see your doctor for the yeast infection, he/she could probably perscribe something for you, and you could ask for a blood test to see if you are pregnant or just wait till it comes. but i dont think you are.
just try not to stress and i hope you get better.
