I have a constant fear that I am pregnant

I think I'm going crazy. I haven't had sex in over 7 months, but I have this irrational fear that I am pregnant. I am on the Pill and fooled around with some guy 20 weeks ago, but we didn't have sex. My periods have been like clockwork, except for this past month where mine was light, but came at the exact time it always does. I also took two pregnancy tests, which both came back negative. But, my breasts have been swollen for the past month and I've been having headaches. I've also been feeling a pulsating feeling in my stomach lately, which is consistent with my heartbeat. I'm still totally freaked out. Is this normal? What should I do????
Do you think it's normal?

If you are that scared, keep emergency preg tests at home so whenever you are worried you can check.

You aren't pregnant, the pulsating in the stomach is your heart beat. I don't know why your breasts are swollen, my only guess is that it's false pregnancy because you're fooling yourself.

Phantom pregnancy. Go to the doctor and have a test there then youll know for sure and can relax. You sound like a drama queen

I would sit in a terribly hot jacuzzi for at least two hours. If there was a baby in there it will surely be toast!

i'm the exact same way! i can feel that "heartbeat" thing but don't worry...your not pregnant...i think the heartbeat really is a heartbeat but its yours and you just feel it in your stomach...and apparently your boobs get bigger when your on your period

I've had sex, but I'm not pregnant, and also have a pulse somewhat like a heartbeat in my stomach.
I haven't been diagnosed with anything as I don't give a shit, but some possible factors are undereating, being underweight, or IBS.

But even if you are pregnant, big fuck. vaccum the thing. Tight on cash? You know where the coathangers are.

I suspect you're symptoms are caused by anxiety, not pregnancy. Yu're not pregnant. If anything you're probably infertile at the moment because of all the stress about getting pregnant.

Step 1;
There are tests you can take. Temperature tests I believe, that can tell you when your cycle is I believe women are only actually fertile 3 days pr month or something. check on that, and then write down your period on the calendsr, taking notes of when you're ovulating and when you're menstruating. In other words you can only get pregnant roughly at the middle point between periods.

Step #2 I probably made a mistake somewhere in #1, check with a doctor.

Step #3 don't have sex when you're ovulating but do what you like when you're not. But use condoms just to be safe anyway.

Step #4 Relax!
