Ok me and my girlfriend have been having sex for awhile now.. And now she has urinary tract infection, yet she is one week late on her period. We took two test already and they both turned out negative. Could the urinary tract infection affect the pregnancy test?? Also another question. She is has been frequently peeing(not alot of pee comming out), always tired. Has sore stomach , having headaches. Having little bit nausea, and is dehydrated.. Is this symptoms of early pregnancy or is it because of the urinary tract infection?? Could she be pregnant??
Edit::
another question.. We took another test and she it came out a negative.. Soo could some 1 plz tell me why she still hasnt had her period yet, and shes been late like 1 1/2 week and wut would be the cause of it??

Plz help!

A uti (urinary tract infection) will not affect the test.

Girls only (usually) have a period once a month.

Make sure you take precautions when having sex ie use a condom.

If you have been having unprotected sex, then I suggest you get her to see her doctor - a negative test could be because a) you tested to early, b) she hasn't produced enough hcg (pregnancy hormone), c) not a sensitive enough test, there maybe other reasons.

But get her to check with her docotor and make sure you always use a condom. (as they also protect against infections unlike birth control pills)
if you can, get condoms that contain "nonoxyl-9" this is a spermicide or use a *water based* lube containing nonoxyl-9.
I say water based as oil based lube's can perish the rubber/latex of condoms and render them useless

Kia is right. I think it would be best to check in with the doctor. If you two are not ready to take up the consequence I suggest you two protect yourself if you are not doing so.

Good luck
