If it hasn't even been a week since you may have concieved then it's not gonna show up positive yet. I'm confused. If your period is late then you wouldn't have just ovulated last week. How would you have concieved last week if your peiod was due this week? Fill me in here.

If you had sex last week and only last week then your not pregnant. You werent ovulating then, since your period is due this week. The stress is most likely delaying your period. I think your fine though.

And me and my husband are living together and we live in our own apartment.

The chances of you being pregnant are slim to none b/c you should've ovulated at least 2 weeks ago so having sex last week shouldn't have gotten you pregnant. Don't waste your tests b/c it's not gonna show up after only a week.

But you were on the pill right? You should have been covered at that time.

It's not just stress it's constantly thinking about your period not coming and being pregnant. Try not to think about it. Didn't you just have a negative test yesterday? You need to calm down and just wait it out a little longer.

Yea more then likely u wouldnt be preg from last week cuz u werent ovulating then.. Slim chance. .But then u were tryin to say uve had sex many times b4 that tho and sense that was sooner, then more then likely it wouldve showed up on ur test and if not then on this next test. Most likely tho, thinkin about it everyday and basically planning that u are probably preg is only going to delay ur period like someone else said.
Angie, she did have a neg test yesterday.

Some girls here live just with their guy, not with parents. I dont tho, im movin out on my own in oct.

There is something called a "phantom pregnancy"... I think you should look it up... It should be in your dictionary or an encylopedia or try online.... I think thats what you have and are suffering from... I don't mean to be rude, but seriously, you are too young to be having to worry about if you are pregnant or not... If you are not responsible enough to not get pregnant or take your pills, than it doesn't seem to be that way if you were to have a baby... (this has nothing to do with anybody else, this is directed towards her and her situation (with the forgeting the pills and everything)).... I think you need to continue going to school and not have to worry about if you are pregnant or not every month... It seems that your life is pretty limited right now just from that, how do you think it would be if there was an actual baby involved... Just be careful from now on... Worry about you and your young life, not the young life you could be giving up from a baby... Good luck with everything....

Okay here is some about it... There is more in health dictionarys also.....

Apparent but unreal pregnancy: a condition in which a woman has the delusional belief that she is pregnant and displays symptoms and signs of pregnancy.
Also called pseudopregnancy
also called phantom pregnancy
technical name pseudocyesis


this is a rare condition where a woman believes she is pregnant and develops symptoms consistent with this such as:

amenorrhoea(no period)
abdominal distension
rarely, hallucinations of foetal movements
pseudocyesis is the most common in young women. Often the individual wants to become pregnant.

Treatment
medical search

pseudopregnancy <1>:
"absence of menses accompanied by other signs of pregnancy without conception; may be due to psychogenic factors, abdominal neoplasia, or a hormonal disorder."
source: crisp thesaurus, 2003
------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------
pseudopregnancy <1>:
"an acyclic state that resembles pregnancy in that there is no ovarian cycle, estrous cycle, or menstrual cycle. Unlike pregnancy, there is no embryo implantation. Pseudopregnancy can be experimentally induced to form deciduoma in the uterus."
source: medical subject headings, 2004_2003_08_08
------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------
pseudopregnancy <1>:
"false, phantom, or spurious pregnancy, which may be due to organic or psychogenic factors."




there is no known cause of pseudocyesis and so treatment is limited to psychological intervention.

Explanation of the condition is most effective, usually resulting in rapid resolution of the condition.

Recurrence is common.

(caps) must read this part.....

Pseudocyesis
related: psychology

(soo&180;dōsīēīsĬs ) , imaginary pregnancy in women usually resulting from a strong desire or need for motherhood. In the absence of conception, the menstrual periods nevertheless cease, the abdomen becomes enlarged and the breasts swell and even secrete milk, mimicking genuine pregnancy. The uterus and cervix may show signs of pregnancy, urine tests may be falsely positive, and the woman may report sensations of fetal movements. A woman may believe in her pregnancy to the point of delusion and show acute depression when no baby is born. It has been suggested that depression can sometimes alter the activity of the pituitary gland so as to cause hormone level changes that mimic the hormone changes of real pregnancy.


Hope that helps... It sounds like you may have this.... Again... I am not being rude... Just trying to help. Hth.

A person ovulates 2 weeks before their period. That's what I was told by my doctor. Life is crazy and caca happens, but don't rush it your just a kid.
