Am I pregnant?
I was supposed to start my period on January 24th. I have regular cycles. I am on the birth control pill but I don't take it at the same time every day. Two days after I was supposed to start my period I started feeling sick to my stomach. I got headaches for the longest time the week I was supposed to be on it. My back hurts. I get light-headed easily. My heartbeat per minute is increased significantly. I have felt extremely warm but I have not had a fever. After the week I was supposed to have my period the sickness feeling has gone down but I'm still extremely hungry all the time, I get headaches, and I'm always wanting to cry, I get irritated over the smallest things. I have taken several pregnancy tests and they all come out negative, am I taking the test too early? Monday 2-8-21 will be a week after I missed my period.

Hello,
So, there is one easy way to find out if you are pregnant: Just run to the store and buy a pregnancy test. It is extremely accurate! It is much more accurate than trying to go by symptoms.
I hope this helps.

You could be pregnant although it is unlikely since your pregnancy tests are negative. There are many other problems that could cause your symptoms so I would recommend being seen by a provider. Repeating the pregnancy test on 2/8 can help if you are just too early for the test to be positive.
