Happy New Year!

Ok...I've been researching pregnancy symptoms and haven't matched too many of them. But after reading a few posts on this message board, I am thinking I might be pregnant after all.
Over the past few weeks, I've had constant heartburn. In the past week, I've been going to the bathroom nearly every hour, and I'm ALWAYS hungry.
This is the kicker though...I'm 8-10 days late. I'm not on birth control, but always use condoms (I know, "doesn't always work").
I've taken two pregnancy tests (First Response), and both have been negative.

I am nearly 21, and am in college. It wouldn't be the most convient thing right now, but this is the reason for the title to this post.

Is it all in my head...or could it be possible?
(Ps. I don't have sore breasts, or anything other symptoms than what I mentioned.)

Thank you!

it could be both. if you are that late you might want to test. dollar store tests can be pretty accurate and cheap. are your cycles normally right on schedule? did you have sex around 14 days into your cycle? does the guy usually put the condom on before anything starts or do you guys "play" first? if he doesnt put it on right away and any pre ejaculate came out anywhere near your vagina and your cervical mucus was right then there could have been little spermies that made it up there. i hope this helps somewhat. im 26 and i had my first at 21 and i am still in school with 2 kids at home. you can do anything you put your mind to. i hope you get the answer you want.
