ok heres my story. on march 6th, i had
unprotected sex with someone, using the
pull-out method ( i know, not very
reliable.) I had had my last period around
Feb 29th. Well, today is april 7th and im
about a week late or so. I have taken
SEVEN pregnancy tests wthin this week- the
last one taken earlier tonight....ALL
NEGATIVE. I'm usually pretty regular give
or take a day or two, so im pretty scared.
everyone is telling me it would have
showed up on tests by now bc i would be
over 4 weeks, almost 5 weeks pregnant and
i have been using the tests that are most
sensitive and following directions
carefully. the only other factor i can
think of is that i take Prozac and changed
my dose, as well as skipped quite a few in
the last month. could this affect my
cycle? what do yall think? am i just
stressing out and making this a big deal
for no reason? i just dont know what to do
anymore....im close to nervous breakdown
dealing with the possibility of this. i am
only 23 and the guy is not my
boyfriend..and basically told me to abort
if i was pregnant. im sorry this is so
long, im just so stressed out about this.

your problem maybe the fact that you are
stressing out, that can cause your period
to be late. if you have taken 7 and all
came back negative, you are most likely
not pregnant, to ease your mind better you
can go to the doctr and take a blood test.

when switching meds it can affect your
periods.
You should go to your doctor and explain
the whole situation, and they would
probably do a blood test as well to see if
you are pregnant. But like Coliejo said,
you could just be stressing yourself out
about this.
That guy sounds like an ass for saying
that to you as well.
Also Prozac if you can believe it or not,
is rat poison. I was on it for a while
before too for depression, but felt it
made me a zombie and i showed no emotion
at all, so i got off it. There is a
posibility that it affeted your cycle when
changing dosage.

First of all, if you are pregnant, it is
YOUR decision whether or not you want to
keep the baby. Don't listen to that jerk
telling you to abort, because it is not
his decision. It is yours.
With that aside, unless if you ovulated
late, you are probably not pregnant. A
pregnancy test is pretty accurate by the
time your missed period is. Medication
changes can throw off your period, but by
throwing off your period it may also throw
off ovulation, so you never really know if
you had sex while ovulating or not. It is
a complicated situation. I'd either keep
on waiting it out with fingers crossed
taking occasional tests, or I'd go to your
doctor and see if you can get a blood test
done.

thank you all for the replies i called my
gynecologist's office today and they told
me to wait on a blood test given
everything i told them. they said that the
combination of stress and the medication
changes most likely affcted my cycle and
that if i remain calm, my period should
arrive within a few days, bc like i told
them, i have every period symptom i
normally do.
But, i did tell the guy involved that i
was keeping it if i was pregnant and that
i didnt want him involved in any part of
it. to me, any jerk that is telling me to
"kill it" doesnt have a right to be
involved.
I guess all i can do is learn from this
and probably vow never to have unprotected
sex again hahaha, well unless i eventually
am ready for a child.
