Question 1

Period is late 1 day , stressed had protected sex 2 weeks ago, lower bk pains , lower tummy cramps , moody, period or pregnancy? need help!

Accepted Answer

Taken by themselves, your symptoms could be either -- but are more likely premenstrual in origin because you said you had "protected" sex.  If you are not sure how "protected" this actually was -- or you miss your period by a week or so -- you could take a home pregnancy test and get a more reliable answer.

Question 2

Month and a half late on period, two negative pregnancy tests taken 5 days apart, sore breasts and light cramps. i've been highly stressed about this. is pregnancy a possibility?

Accepted Answer

Today's home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, vaginal spotting, or medications. A test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have been) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a negative result may be due to testing too early, such as less than 2 weeks after sex.
