Pregnant or medication?

Hi all,
I started Fluoxitine 2 months ago, and I am 8 days late for my period. Generally I am like clockwork so this is unusual for me. I have awful period pain and have done for just over a week and I feel ridiculously sick, bloated and my stomach is really hard. I have done 6 pregnancy tests and they are all negative. Has anyone every experienced the same on this medication? Or do we think although negative, there is still a chance I could be pregnant? I do have a GP appointment on Thursday, I just wanted to get some opinions as I'm feeling quite anxious about it.
Thanks in advance xx

Starting any new medication can have side effects on your body. It's possible the medication is causing the period being late as a side effect. Periods can also be late due to other reasons like stress, illness etc.
Not the same medication as you but my periods were delayed one month when I started something new. Think it was about 10 days late in the end and the next month back to normal.
If you've done 6 negative tests then it seems pregnancy is unlikely. Just mention it to the GP when you have your appt.
