I'm eight days late now, and experiencing symptoms (nausea, tender breasts, sensitivity to smells, exhaustion), but I've been using birth control for several months now and I wonder if it's the pills causing all the confusion. I finally took a test tonight, and it's negative. . .I'm half way relieved, cause this definitely isnt a planned pregnancy. . I'm a newlywed and only 21, so I'd prefer that it happen in four or five years. . .but I'm still not sure the worry's over. When should I test again?

From everything I've read you should wait 2-3 days between times to test again, because HcG levels should double every 2-3 days, which might make it easier for them to show up in a test. Good luck with the outcome you're looking for!!
