20 and Terrified

This is the first time I've posted here so I don't really know how this works. The only thing I know is that I have to talk to someone, someone who isn't biased towards the situation. I am terrified out of my mind and I need another perspective, an honest opinion based on facts. Here is the run down:

-I just turned 20 years old
-I am not currently dating this guy anymore, but we occasionally have sex
-Last period 10/31 through 11/06
-Had sex with this same guy on 11/14
-I'm not on BC and he pulled out (STUPID, I know, trust me, I know)
-Should have gotten period around 12/03, 12/04, somewhere in there
-It is now 12/06 and NO PERIOD
-I am never dead on with starting my period, but it is always around 26, 27 days between periods
-I am in college so we have finals coming up, but I'm not really stressing over them
-12/01 spotted once (seriously, just like two drops on TP)
-12/03 spotted once (a little heavier, but stopped within ten minutes)
-12/04 spotted once (a little on TP)

WHAT IS THIS??? I am freaking out, which is probably not helping with the whole stress-level-throwing-off-period thing. I can NOT be pregnant. I mean that. This would be one of the worst things in the world at this point in my life.

I've been doing a lot of research and, I don't know. I've got mixed thoughts about whether I am pregnant or not!!

My boobs aren't sore or sensitive or fuller, I haven't been nauseous in so long I can't remember, I am not going to the bathroom any more than usual, my temperature hasn't risen, I haven't gained weight (although, I would only be less than a month along so this isn't really an issue), my sense of smell hasn't gotten more sensitive, I haven't been dizzy or fatigued, I don't have odd cravings for things I don't eat or repulsion from things I do eat, if anything, my food intake has gone down (due to worrying about this and because of lack of time between classes)..

Everything logical, looking at those things I just said, indicates that I am NOT preggers, but...I've missed my period by days now (more days than is normal), and I am spotting. I have never, NEVER spotted before, so that is very unusual.

I seriously need some help because I am FREAKING out, out of my MIND. Please, please, please help me!!!

I'm so sorry your body isn't cooperating with you. I do have a suggestion for getting the HPT:

Since you know everyone in the store, maybe when you go to buy one you could say that it is for a friend of yours who is scared to come in and buy it herself because she didn't want to be judged. That way maybe the clerk will either think that it isn't for you or at least may rethink judging you because of it. Or if you have any friends who would actually be willing to go buy it for you?

I really hope that helps, and good luck in getting AF!

I'm glad it turned out the way you wanted! But just as the pp said, make sure when you test in a few days that you use first morning urine. Also, if you don't get your period in about a week or so, you might want to go to the doctor to see what is causing it to be so late. But congrats on getting the answer you wanted! And good luck with college!
