Could I be pregnant?

Partner and I had unprotected sex for three days over a month ago now. We were trying for a baby of course as I stopped taking my pill, but I chickened out and decided to start retaking it (new packet) 3 days later. Did a test basically every week afterwards (too early I know! But I was needing to know😅) and all negative. Despite having nausea which has recently been getting increasingly worse, feeling weepy/emotional & tired. Just generally under the weather really.

Took a test last week and another negative result. However, my period last month was basically non existent for me. Usually on a reliable 28day cycle with heavy bleeding for at least 5 days. Always have been. That month it was 3 days late, and only 2 days on minimal, and I mean minimal bleeding- think slightly more than spotting each time!

I take certain medications for epilepsy and anxiety and I'm wondering could they have any play into why I may be receiving negative test results but feeling pregnant? (Prozac & Levetiracetam)

Anyway, I'm scared and feeling sick so any suggestions or ideas as to what this situation could be would be great!

I'm planning a visit to the doctors at the end of this month if period is again non existent.

A month after sex would make you six weeks pregnant. You'd have a positive test. There are very few drugs that give a false positive, but no false negatives, as far as I'm aware. Prozac is not affecting the result. Honestly the symptoms are probably from stopping and then quickly restarting the pill... I am sure the gp will be able to reassure you too.

@physicskate thank you! That's what I was thinking👍🏻 I just couldn't shake the idea that I could be! X
