Might be pregnant and i'm so anxious and sick with worry

I hope it's ok to post here, there's no one I can tell in real life or vent to and i'm hoping someone can understand and share the fear with me because I'm suddenly so anxious that I am, I can't focus on anything but I hope my mind is just running with the idea and i'm overreacting!

I'm in a very happy relationship. One time when we slept together a day or two after my last period (i'm not on the pill but we use protection), afterwards he commented that he think it slipped or came off slightly and he was a bit worried. So to cover my bases I ordered the morning after pill and took it two days after. A few days ago I started getting a really heavy feeling in my lower abdomen, my boobs feel extra sore and feeling some pains in my legs - generally things I can get around the time of my period but i've been keeping an eye on my period tracker app and it says it's been 35 days since my last cycle. :(

I kept meaning to pop out to the shops yesterday and today but kept putting it off to buy a test. I've just ordered one from amazon which will be coming tomorrow.

I know the morning after pill can cause a delay in your next period coming, which i think is common? I know that nobody can tell me for definite that I am or am not pregnant but some reassurance and love would be really great right now.

Thankyou if you clicked on even to read, I don't know why i'm feeling so wobbly and scared but I can't help it!

Stress makes your period late. I’ve taken the morning after pill a couple of times, both times I’ve been late on my period.

If you took the pill within its window the post likely option is that you're not pregnant. Fingers crossed for you x

Thank you both, I think its stirring up a lot of emotion for me because I would really love a baby and to start a family but I know my life just isn't where it needs to be yet (and I know life never is!) but the thought of being pregnant and knowing I can't keep it, although it would be my fault would really hurt

Never took the morning after pill so I don't know what the side effects are but I can tell you from my own experience that being stressed can delay your period.
I've been there too and I know how frightening it can be.
I know it's not easy but try and not think about it too much. Let us know tomorrow once you do the test.
Fingers crossed for you!

I know i've been a bit more stressed than usual these last few months (as i'm sure we all have). i've scared myself by reading lots of accounts of people getting negative results when they've actually been pregnant which isn't helping!
