My last period was September 10th. I had unprotected sex using the pullout method on the last day of my period when I stopped bleeding for a little while. Im 7 days late and very bloated and gassy. I need to poop a lot more and get dry mouth a lot. My breast feel heavy/sore. My lower back hurts. I took two home pregnancy tests when I was three days late and they said negative. What's the chances of being pregnant?

You tested too early. A test at 3 days late is not valid, unless it comes back positive. A false negative at this time is very common.

You should wait until your period is at least 2 weeks late, then test using first morning urine. If that test is negative, wait and see what happens with your next period. If you miss it too, test again or get a blood test done.

I agree, three days late is far too early to test. A negative reading is to be expected at that point. But pull out is by far the worst method, ( I don't even consider it a method). There are plenty of sperm in the early fluids, so pregnancy can easily happen.

You need to wait till you are at least 14 days late to test.
