I am 18 years old, and I know that growing up, your hormones are not really completely stable.

1) I took emergency contraceptive pills in Dec 15 2011 so hormones are still probably wacky since then
-
first preggo scare
- period lasted 3 to 4 days. normal period lasts 5 to 7 or 8 days.
-
period at expected time in Jan. lasted 3 to 4 days

2) Had genital rubbing with boyfriend Feb 10. Got period the 23rd.

-period lasted 3 to 4 days
- started reading up on implantation bleeding & decidual bleeding

3) No penis to vagina contact since last period. No where near, nor touching vagina after touching penis.
- so i can't be preggo right?
- period missed in March
- took 2 home preg tests. One on monday the other on thursday, both negative.
- had slight and subtle PMS symptoms around time of expected period
- a couple times when i wiped after using the toilet i noticed very tiny toothpick-point blood dots. like just 1 both times
- CERVIX STILL FIRM, IN REACH, AND CAN FIT MY FINGERTIP WHEN I CHECK

- SCARED OF THOSE PERIODS ACTUALLY BEING DECIDUAL BLEEDING BECAUSE IT MIMICS PERIODS AND HAPPENS AROUND TIME OF EXPECTED PERIODS, HAPPENING FOR 2 TO 3 MONTHS IN EARLY PREGNANCY

I know that stress can delay periods or totally miss it for that month, so Im gonna include that I got my first job the middle of March, and that yes it has been very stressful for me! Im not used to working, especially when Im still in high school, so Ive been having a rough time balancing work and school. On top of that Ive been stressing out over my family's financial issues for a couple years. So I guess I could say there is a bit of chronic stress here.

So should I be worried? Could my last period actually have been decidual bleeding?
Do you think, if I am preggo, that hcg levels arent high enough to be detected by home preg tests?


I would love to know what you all think, and it would help me so much
your not prego. its april. its also not due to the pills. its your sex and stress.

I'm 19 years old and have been taking oral contraceptives since I was 17. I just recently started having sex and now I'm 45 days late with nausea, stomach cramps, headaches, and I'm always tired. I took 3 cheap pregnancy test the other day and they all said negative. I still haven't started and am not sure what I should do. Also friends have noticed my stomach looking bigger. Help please
