Had Unprotected Sex. Now Feeling Cramps, Trouble Sleeping, Light Periods. Pregnancy Test Negative. Still Pregnant?
I'm an 18 year old female. Last months period started on May 13, on the 24th i had unprotected sex.
I've had trouble sleeping at night, but could come home at the end of the day and take a two hour nap, then be feeling tired again by 10 instead of being able to stay awake until 12 like usual. And i would also get slight crampy pains, and sometimes around lunch time i would get a slight tingly light feeling throughout my body.
I wasn't expecting my next period until the 10th of June, but it came on the 7th, and it doesn't feel as heavy as my normal periods but still enough to wear a pad. I took a pregnancy test on the 8th but it came out negative.
Could i have tested to early? Should i still be concerned about possibly being pregnant?

Hello,
First of all, you did unprotected sex close to your fertile days. So, chance of being pregnant is still there.
Early pregnancy test is less significant and you need to repeat home pregnancy test after 7 days. Blood test for beta-HCG is quite reliable.
Following test reports, you need to consult with gynecologist for suggestive measures. Practice safe sex in future and use proper contraceptive method.
Good luck.
