What Do You Suggest For Delay In Periods After An Unprotected Sex?

My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex all of the time, I missed my period in November, had a 5 day light period in december, and now am two weeks late. My short period in december was on december 9th. My stomach is so bloated, I have been extremely tired, my nipples started hurting, i am constipated and gassy and have thrown up and felt naucious. I have had these symptoms but ignored them due the period I had in december. I had blood work done at my doctors for something else, and in the comments the reviewer wrote pregnancy ranges next to my tsh level. My tsh level is 2.75; but no HCG level was listed due to the fact that my doctor was not looking for pregnancy since I did not think I was pregnant. I have had two negative tests, but I got pregnant 4 years ago and had a miscarriage at 6 weeks without a positive pregnancy test until after I had already miscarried at about 9 weeks along. I do not have a doctors appointment until thursday but I am curious. Am I pregnant? Do my tsh levels or something on my blood work alert the tech who read them? do they still chech hcg levels even though they did not right in on the results or were asked to look.

Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
No, labs don't test hCG without a request & without charging you.
This comment was probably a routine remark on the lab report.
If you are in doubt about your pregnant status you should go for a beta hCG (blood test). This will resolve your confusion with surety. All other signs may be misleading.
Take care.
