I’m confused!

I may not be posting in the correct place so please forgive me.
So I’ve been sexually active with my boyfriend. Not too extreme where it’s multiple times a day or anything. So in January, I started feeling nauseous as soon as I’d get up in the morning, after I eat, when I would smell things, etc. My period was just a day late, which can be normal for me. Majority on time, but can be off by a day or 2 at most. So when I started, it started out very light spotting then kinda regular. However, it only lasted no more than 24 hours and it never did that before. But I thought it was stress. So maybe about 3 days later, I went to the grocery store and as soon as I walked in (on the produce side) all I could smell was potatoes. 🤢 my friend told me that I should just buy some tests and take them. In my mind I was like “there’s no way im pregnant. It’s all in my head, and im just psyching myself out”, but fine I’ll take one. I got home took 1 and it was a faint positive. Couple days later I took 2 more different ones, they were both faint positive with 1 making like a (T) instead of a +. Few days later, I took another one and it was negative. At that point, I’ve figured that I may have had a very very early miscarriage or something. Fast forward to last month I was 5 days late and seemed to have a normal period. My eczema has really gotten bad lately.

Today I’m 5 days late again. I’m just really tired now. (I am taking 6 online classes and working full time so that’s probably why) but I’m just more than usual. I feel like I’m on edge where every little thing is getting on my nerves. But I’ve not cramped, my boobs aren’t sore, or had really any other pms symptoms.

Im sorry this post is so long, im just really confused and feel like im just going crazy. Any advice or explanations are greatly appreciated!

You havent done another test last month or this month? Why not?
You really need to do another test to know

Take another test to rule out pregnancy, you could have had implantation bleeding before. To make extra sure, get yourself booked into a GP who cam go through all of your symptoms to rule out anything else

*can

Please get yourself on decent birth control. You sound way to young.

Agree with above. More tests. And some kind of reliable contraceptive. Lifes too short to be stressing and wondering every single month.

You sound like a teenager, but whatever age you are, go and take another test, ffs. Nobody on here can do that for you!

You've had a pregnancy scare in January, but you've continued to be sexually active, and not mentioned contraception anywhere in your post. Of course you could be pregnant. Go take a test!

Well you’re having sex and haven’t mentioned contraception once. That’s what people do to get pregnant.

Why haven't you taken another test?

Do so.

I haven’t taken another test because I felt like since I gotten negatives that I’m making something out to be more than what it is. I’m 28 and hadn’t had any children yet. Me and my bf have been together for 3 years now and we both want kids. We’re not necessarily trying right now. I just wondered if anyone has had similar experiences too.

Not too extreme where it’s multiple times a day or anything.

Once will get you pregnant if you aren't using reliable contraception.

But the tests you mentioned taking were in January...have you taken a test in the last few days ?

Following the negative test did you take precautions?

It's definitely time to take another test.
Some women have periods all the way through, or it could just be stress/exhaustion, the only way you are going to know is by doing a test, and at this point, if you conceived December/January, there will be absolutely no mistaking it on a test!
Do a test & let us know.

if you conceived December/January, there will be absolutely no mistaking it on a test!

Or what's more likely is you could have conceived in March.
Another possibility is if you were 5 days late last month, maybe your body has 'reset' after a possible very early miscarriage in January and you're not late this month? (Sorry, I'm not sure if you're counting from the first date of your last period or if you're using your more regular time of the month to calculate when your period's due this month...)
Are you using contraception? You seem to be spending a lot of time worrying and I'm not sure how to interpret 'we're not necessarily trying now'.

I'm confused. Why do you think you aren't pregnant?

I can understand your confusion, with the 'periods', but some women can have a monthly bleed all throughout a pregnancy, so with your other symptoms, pregnancy is certainly a possibility. My advice would be to do another test, but also book a GP appointment ASAP, to discuss the matter. Good luck.

If you are having sex and not using contraception then you are trying to get pregnant. I hope you’re taking folic acid.

We’re not necessarily trying right now.

Sorry, but if you're sexually active and not on any birth control, you absolutely are 'trying' even if you think you're not. It's not about intent, it's about basic biology.

You don't have to have sex 'multiple times a day' to get pregnant. You can have sex once and get pregnant. Take some responsibility and decide whether you want a baby at this moment, and if you don't then make your boyfriend wear a condom or get yourself on some contraception before you have sex again.

OK, but you're displaying signs of pregnancy so even if you went to the gp they wouldn't investigate further before they got you to do another pregnancy test. So pop down to your chemist or supermarket and pick up a pack of pregnancy tests then at least you'll know where you stand with that.

I'm afraid you're not likely to get any further advice, from here or anywhere else, until you've done that.
