Answer 1

Planned Parenthood will give you tests pretty cheap, and you can buy good quality ones for $1 at Dollar General or any dollar store.  Good luck!

Answer 2

They both can be very simular except one key factor your period never comes. There are however sometimes each woman is different. Where you still can have your period and be pregnant. I didnt know I was pregnant with my first one until I was 3 months.As weird as that may seem.But sometimes it has been known to happen. I would go take one just to be on the safe side. You might just have stress and it maybe going to your head.Although its better safe than sorry.

Answer 4

Please just buy a test. I know they are expensive, but if you are pregnant you need to be seen by a doc. and take pre-natal vitamins. It sounds like you could be pregnant. If you cannot afford a test you might want to call a local planned parenthood, and see if they run tests cheap/free. Good luck

Answer 5

It's possible... go get a dollar store test, they work just as good as regular ones, they just dont look as fancy.
