Hi there,

Okay, this may sound sort of foolish, but I just wanted to post on here to get a peace of mind.

So the last time I had sex was on November 30th, 2012 (I am not on the pill, but we did use a condom). Since then I have consistently gotten what would appear to be my period all at the time I'm supposed to, but these periods have been a lot lighter than normal (lasting 3 days as opposed to my normal 5-6). Overall, I have taken 14 home pregnancy tests, and 1blood test done by the nurse at my college (done at what would have been 2 months into the pregnancy.) Every single test resulted in a negative. I have gained a tiny bit of fat around my lower section, but not enough to affect the way my clothes fit or anything like that. I would think at this point (what would be roughly over 3 months into a pregnancy by now), I would find the ability to relax, but I still can't for some reason. (This was my first time having sex, so I'm sure my paranoia is just taking control of the situation.) I would really appreciate some insight on the topic though.

I've already explained the whole situation to my mother (who's had 4 kids in total), and she sees absolutely no reason for me to even think I'm pregnant. That reassured me for a bit, but it's hard to keep the negative thoughts at bay. Due to the fact that I just broke up with my boyfriend about a week ago, this would be the worst possible news at this point in my life.  Any advice/comments would be appreciated!

Hey there is there any chance of you going for an ultrasound? Maybe it'll give you some peace of mind. :)

I've requested my mom to take me in, but she's extremely hesitant due to the fact that they're expensive, and because of the (rising) number of negative home tests I've taken and the one negative blood test. She is also extremely adament that nothing looks/feels off (and she does have experience, seeing as she's had four kids herself haha). I think it may just be a restless mind! I'm going to keep requesting an ultra sound, because I truly think that's the only way I'll be able to relax!
