I had my last period on the 31/1-5/2, i was due on again on 4/3 but still have not had it, i have a backache, tender breasts, nausea at night, extreme fatigue, mood swings, dizzy spells i have done two tests one today 6/3 and on e on 4/3 but both say negative could i still be pregnant? i also found out my brother and his partner are expecting which is putting extra strain on me as i'm so jealous and i should be pleased for them i feel so selfish. please help me as its taking over my life. thankyou

loopylou57 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThankyou for replying so quickly. My boyfriend keeps telling me not to get stressed but ive always been a stressed out person ive come a long way in the last year now as i have given up work as a chef to try and de stress myself i used to be a heavy drinker (bottle of wine every night atleast) up until november when i cut down a lot and now am only having maybe 2 tins of strongbow a week as i grew up living with my mum she turned into an alcoholic which makes me think drinkin is ok even though i know how it affected us as kids.
Ive been monitoring my ovulation on a chart and have ordered a bbt thermometer today. im just normally such an organised person that when things dont go to plan i panic. ive been with my partner for four years and wanted kids 2 years ago but he said he didnt want them till he was 25 so we agreed to meet in the middle which is now, so even though weve not been trying long its constantly been on my mind counting down till when i can have them. im the type of person who worrys way too much and i know it but i just cant stop myself. from my chart i ovulated on the 17th and had made love on the 17th and the 15th and cant understand why i didnt catch! im prone to thrush and cystitis and have had a few infections and this constantl plays in my mind that i might have trouble conceiving due to this.

 Hun stop trying it will happen the more you focus the more stress it puts on your body being stressed isnt good, as a beauty therapist i recommened a course of reflexology, i did 6 treatments on one client who was diabetic and never went long term with her pregnancy and she got pregnant and now has a healthy daughter.

 well these symptoms are all part of the menstrual cycle too so you may probably arent pregnant. but if you still feel unsure i would go to your GP and get tested - these tests are different as they are blood tests, not urine tests. but also, i wouldnt let this control your life - you are still so young!im 22 too and nowhere near ready to have a child - you still have plenty of time ticking on your bological clock so slow down! you are stressed and getting overe depression right now - maybe you should concentrate on that for now, and start trying again when you are less stressed and more at ease? also - dont let other ppl's situations (ie your brother) overwhelm you - this will only cause you more pain and you dont need that. you've also been trying for only 2 months - AND you were on the pill for 8 years - so give your body time to adjust to this. slow down hun, you will get pregnant when your body and you are ready and when it is meant to happen. good luck, email me if you want to talk more xxx
