Negative test?

Hi all

long story short, I am having a freak out. I had sex 6 weeks ago with my partner. I am also on birth control and take it accurately. Had my bleed on my break 3.5 weeks ago. ( I take bc continuously over 9 weeks)

I have just had bloating and some metallic taste in my mouth (which has gone away). I felt like yesterday I was peeing more but I think it’s anxiety.

i took 3 tests yesterday and negative and one this morning which I also presume is negative. I have attached a photo as I am not sure if there is a faint line there or not.

unfortunately this isn’t the time of my life that I want to be pregnant as I am only 24 and nowhere near ready.

please if someone could help , does there look to be any positives on this test. If I have tested 6 weeks after sex and it’s negative. Does that mean I’m 100% not pregnant?

thanks

That looks like a negative test to me! Why are you worried is your period late? By now if you were pregnant you'd have an obvious test I would think.

sorry * an obvious line on test

I am on birth control and on the continuous method so I only have a bleed maybe 3-4 times a year. I had my bleed 3.5 weeks ago but I know it’s not a proper period.

you wouldnt bleed at all if you were pregnant. or it would be even lighter.

After 6 weeks, that test would have been a beacon of a positive line.

I do get it, though, as I took my pill the same way (9 weeks on, 1 week off), so if I had any weird symptoms, there wasnt always a period in the recent past to assure me. But you are not pregnant!
