Is it normal to be worried that i might be pregnant?

Im really worried that I might be pregnant. I have always been a worrier and suffer from anxiety problems. Since I had sex (protected-we used a condom) I have had 3 periods and 2 negative pregnancy tests and my first two periods were normal but my last one was about a week late. I have sore breasts too about a week before each period. I am quite stressed about pending exams while also moving back home for a month for Christmas (which has lead me to put on weight). My friend is a nurse and told me that if I was pregnant I would be felling sick and that the pregnancy test would not have come up negative if I was pregnant because at this point my HGC levels would be so high it would have no trouble detecting it. But now my breast hurt again but I'm not due a period for a week or 2 weeks if I go off my last one (which was a week late). I dont know what to do, the thought of being pregnant scares me so much and Im wondering if its all in my head?Please I need some reassurance....

    I suffer from anxiety as well and have found that stress can make me late.. I'm actually 4 weeks late right now, and it's because of a new medication I'm on... And I understand no matter how illogical it is that you would be pregnant, I've never had sex, there is still that fear in your head... But I've always gotten sore breast. About a week before I start...

    Calm down. Ur not preggo eggo. Stop worrying so much. Get on the pill If it really bothers u. It's more effective than condoms when taken correctly, and (ur bf is gonna hate me) use both a condom and the pill if u still worry. And throw some spermicide on it. It's way way overkill, the pill is more than enough, but u can't put a price on peace of mind. Lol or make ur BF wear 2 condoms. Haha has anyone ever actually been made to do that?

    You can not, in ANY WAY have a period when you're pregnant. Its just not possible. There might be some bleeding down there that will make you think you're on your period, but its not the same. Just remember that as long as you have your period, you're fine.
    At least, that's what I always tell myself, because I get very paranoid about this kind of thing too.

    I know this is an old post, but I just figured I could still help people who're reading this now.

    From a statistical point of view, it's very unlikely. You shouldn't have had one period. Two raises it exponentially, but three? And the negative tests? It's very unlikely indeed.

    It's the stress causing your hormones to go wonky. Get that under control.

    ^ exactly. Breasts hurt. Doesn't mean you're pregnant.
