I haven't been late in over a year.
On day one I took a First Response test and it was negative.
But my period still hasn't come so I'm concerned.
Over the past 4 days:
I am exhausted even after I sleep a long time
Mood swings.
Back aches, specifically in the lower back
Bathroom trips 5x frequently than ever before
Large appetite
Frequent burping
Frequent headaches
Feeling bloated or "fullness" in my stomach
Light pinching sensations in abdomen area from time to time
queasiness
In the morning I took my temp over the past 2 days with a basal body temp of 98.6, yet during the day for the past two days it goes up to 99.0 so I feel warm and sleepy a lot.
Instances of unprotected sex did take place, but pull out method was used.
I looked at a pregnancy calculator and the highest risk we had, even unprotected, was 26%.
Please do not tell me that pull out method is not a form of birth control. I know this. And I know about sperm in precum. I know I know. Im just giving all the details so people know the facts before they give me their best opinion.
All things considered, could I be pregnant or is this stress/sickness that is causing these symptoms and making my period late?
When would be a good time to take another test to confirm if i am or am not pregnant?
( since I know some get a false negative on day one because the hcg levels arent high enough)

How long ago did you test? If it was a couple of days ago then I would definitely get another box of First Response. The symptoms you describe ARE pregnancy symptoms, so you could very well be pregnant. Remember to only use first morning urine and the dip method is the best. The directions are in the box, just get some small dixie cups to pee in. Let me know. ↑

I just realized that your post says you are three days late. Definitely test again today. Restrict your fluid intake and hold your pee for about 4 hours, then test. Good luck. ↑
