i am feeling awful, I can't sleep or eat. If I do get to sleep I wake in the night sweating, heart racing, feeling sick. During the day I can't focus, cry for no reason and don't want to speak to anyone. I can't stop worrying I am pregnant.

I had sex on the 19 th and 26 th September, nothing since. I am on the pill but mixed it up beginning of September but am sure that it was back on track by the 19 th and defo by the 26 th. I had a period starting 5 th September.

Three days before my period in October was due, I woke in a panic, heart pounding and sweating convinced I am pregnant. I waited but my period did not arrive, 3 days later got neg test at doctors. On the 8 th I started bleeding but not heavy, took more tests all negative. I bled for 8 days, 4 very light, 2 medium, I usually have heavy. Even during this time I done more tests, all negative.

When my period ended I felt a bit better, but I still had panic attacks, can't sleep and am off my food.

Then again towards my next period being due it all built up again, I took more tests on the 1 stNovember and the doc done anotHer neg test. By this point I would defo be getting an exact result. The talk also took bloods to check my hormones, waiting on results. I have no symptoms of pregnancy.

Today my next period has started, bang on time, it is very light, but I have spent all day crying, pacing and panicking I am pregnant.

What the he'll is wrong with me, please help as I can't take anymore

It sounds as though you are feeling anxiety symptoms (night sweating, heart racing, feeling sick) worrying over whether you are pregnant. I am sure that as soon as you know you are not pregnant the anxiety symptoms will go away. Anxiety is the medical name for fear, and it is a horrid thing to experience. Panic is extreme fear. This issue of whether you are pregnant or not needs to be sorted sooner rather than later. I think you can get test kits from Boots and they are mean to be reliable.

In the meantime, try to breathe in slowly and out (longer breathe on the out) put your hand on your belly (the part under the breasts!) and feel the rise and fall of the belly as you slowly breathe in and out.

The tests are pretty reliable so I would say you are almost certainly not pg. You may be having light periods due to the anxiety, I know that stress can cause a delay in periods. Why don't you go back to your doctor and explain how you feel? Hope you get this resolved soon xx
