writes:Hi, i hope you can reassure me that i'm not pregnant because it really is the last thing i need right now.I had unprotected sex 3rd July, and i was getting ALOT of signs of pregnancy, even to what i thought was implantation bleeding (light brown spotting a week later) tbh, i was more convinced than ever that i were pregnant. My period didn't come until about about a week after i was due, so this reassured me that i wasn't pregnant but it was rather strange because i'm NEVER late. This month, i've not started yet and am almost 2 weeks late yet i seem to be getting the pain but just no blood. Just a few side notes; I had a negative pregnancy strip test 3 weeks after intercourse, last month (when i'd just started my period) I took a pill to stop and delay it because there was an event coming up and did not want to be on my period however, this pill, for the first time ever, didn't work! I've also been getting sharp pains down my side, and on my left neck and shoulder I get this really awful ache on a night time (if that is any relevance to pregnancy?) I have also had a blood test because it was thought i had diabetes but I haven't heard anything so can i assume i'm not pregnant as well as not diabetic? surely they would have picked up on a pregnancy?I hope i'm just being paranoid but honest opinions please :) thank you!

 if you had a period then its quite unlikely that your not pregnant sometimes when you worry about this and are subconciously stressed you can miss a period or get your period late.if your still worried take a test if it is negative then you shouldnt be pregnant.when you think you are pregnant you get signs of it which just end up worrying you more so set yourself straight and take a test

Hi, with unprotected sex there is always that chance of getting pregnant. To put your mind at ease go to the doctors (they will do it confidentially) and ask for a pregnancy test. Then you will know for sure. Also, what is common today with unprotected sex is STI's. Get checked immediately.

It simply delays your period, I took it on the day i started and 2 days after but it failed to delay it. I hope that's more understandable :)
I just think it's a bit strange why it didn't work on me, which perhaps indicates that it was not my period and was early pregnancy bleeding, which of course cannot be controlled by any pill.
Thank you to the posters who've responded, I think i'll pop along to my GP and voice my concerns.

 It all sounds very odd to me! You took a pill? Do you mean you are on the contraceptive pill or are you just taking a pill at random times of the month to try and mess with your body? Because if you are ON the pill, as in taking it every day like you are supposed to then the chances of you being pregnant are slim. But if you have not been taking your pill properly and had unprotected sex then yes there is a good chance of being pregnant. Unprotected sex = babies. Simple.
The test you took 3 weeks after the unprotected sex happened could have been taken too soon so it might have given you an inaccurate result. If you think you could be pregnant you need to take a test 1 week after the missed period, that way you get a more accurate result.
All these health issues seem rather complicated and may or may not be linked, we have no way of being able to advise you on here. I suggest you make an appointment ASAP with your GP and get them to do a pregnancy test. Then at least you will know for certain whether you are or are not pregnant. And while you are there, discuss birth control so you dont get into this mess again!

 Hi - very hard to say one way or the other but there is obviously a chance of pregnancy. Maybe go to a Family Planning Clinic rather than your doctor? They tend to be less stressful. Good luck.

There must be at least a hundred things that can be derived from looking at a blood sample so why would they bother looking for the other 99?
Take another pregnancy test and while you're at the chemist's shop buy an emergency stock of condoms to be kept in your bedside drawer/handbag/mate's handbag.
