How To Confirm With Pregnancy?
PLEASE HELP ! am i pregnant or super paranoid ? im on alesse 21?
to preface this im on the pill (Alesse 21) and on sunday (apr25th) was supposed to be the end of my pill pack.
So sunday (apr25th) me and my bf had unprotected sex. On sat (apr24th) i had missed taking the pill and had taken it with my pill on sunday (apr25th) after i had returned home from hanging out with my bf.( sat was a very stressful day which had caused me to forget taking the pill) anyway mon (apr26th) i had taken emergency contraception because i was super paranoid about my alesse not being effective. keeping with the paranoid theme i started a new pack right away on tues (apr27th) thinking that if the ec wasn't effective at least i had the hormone in me to prevent ovulation or whatever my ridiculous thinking was. With that being said obviously my period didn't come when it was supposed to last week.
Yesterday (may4th) i went to the doctor for a preg test and it came up neg for pregnancy but positive for a bladder infection.
my issue is im experiencing symptoms of a UTI as well as early early pms (maybe im stressing to to much about this) .. but knowing what happened the week previous im scared to DEATH that i might be pregnant.
what should i do ? .. should i wait to take another test in a week or so .. should i wait untill i miss my period again to take another test .. or am i over reacting and super paranoid about it all and i should just wait it out and see ?

hello
first of all please don't panic
the symptoms of uti & premenstrual syndrome with lots of stress r making u worried
the chances of pregnancy in ur case appears almost nil as there is just 1 episode of unprotected sex followed by emergency contraception( ec) & that also when u were already taking alesse 21
missing of 1 dose of alesse was covered well by taking ec
but due to ur panic u started next pack of alesse 21 just 2 day after the last pack ended & this complicated ur situation as starting the new pack delayed ur periods
could u please tell how many days u continued with next pack of alesse 21 started on Apr 27
u should immediately stop alesse 21 now & then ur periods should come in 7 - 10 days & this period could be heavier than usual
ur upt was negative on 4 may
for ur satisfaction u can repeat upt after 5 to 7 days & even get a bhcg ( blood test ) to be sure
but they r not advisable if u get ur periods with normal flow after stopping alesse
hope I was able to allay ur worries
