Okayy, I had sex a week before my period was sapost to start it was unprotected but he pulled out [not that good of a choice i know]. Then I didn't really think anything of it, but then my period was 4 days late. And during the time that i was sapost to have my period i was having VERY VERY VERY bad cramps but in my abdomen area [sorry for spelling]. Then i started going to the bathroom alot, being very tired, feeling faint alot. But my boobs are what hurt the most along with my cramping. There very very sore like way sorer than they usually get when my period is sapost to come....
I finally got my period and i noticed it wasn't the same as it usually is. It's usually really heavy and last anywhere from 7-9 days. This time on top of it being 4 days late it only stayed for another 4 days and it was heavy the first day but then it lightened up ALOT. I took a HPT the day after i got my period and it came up negative, but my period is now over and im still having really bad cramps, im light headed alot, and im tired ALL THE TIME and my boobs still hurt quiet a bit.
Im kind of at a loss about what to do about all of this, im getting very worried about it...
soo if anyone could help me at all it would be greataly apprecaited Very Happy

thank you. =D

You had a period, that means you are not pregnant.

You might have some other reason to be in pain. I don't know your lifestyle, but you might be dehydrated.

There is still a posibility that you are pregnant. You only took the HPT a day after your period and most test cannot detect a pregnancy that early on. If your next period is light and short or missed, then I reccommend that you try another HPT. It usually takes about two weeks for the pregnancy hormones to be detected.
ALso, many time when you become pregnant you may contine to bleed at the time of you normal period. This may be thought of as an abnormal period but may also be a sign of pregnancy.
