CD44, No Period, Negative Hpts?

I'm 19 years old, healthy, and on CD44 without a period. The first symptom I had was sensitive nipples, which over the past week, has faded slightly, although my breasts do feel firmer than usual now. The next was missing my period (due the first week of May), extreme fatigue/dizziness, muscle and joint pain, irritability, lower back pain, and cramping. I've also had some stomach issues and lack of appetite, but that's not incredibly unusual for me, so I haven't really taken that into account. My period is a little off every month, but I can generally expect it the same week it was the month before. I'm now over two weeks late. I took my first HPT at what would be around 5 weeks, and another two days ago at my estimated 6 week mark. I plan on taking the last around the 7th week, and if still negative, going in for a blood test. Was just wondering what else could be going on, as I haven't been very stressed and have no signs of anything seriously wrong, or if anyone has had a similar experience (pregnant or not) that they'd like to share? I'd be okay with it going either way, but I'm not sure what to think right now.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Sue me for looking for someone to relate to or a sense of community in a confusing time. Obviously I don't want medical advice and I know the facts. Excuse me for expecting more than judgement and immaturity from a group of mothers (feel so bad for your children, btw, being raised by people so petty and rude). I guess I just assumed that would instill some kind of nurturing or helpful nature. My bad. And don't worry, I won't be writing in again.

CD44 is not used for birth control. It is an antibody that affects cell to cell growth. I didn't take the time to figure out what it is used for. I did see that it is used in cancers.

Why are you taking it? Your symptoms could be a side affect.

See your doctor. However, I suggest with consistent negative results on seveal pregnancy tests it's doubtful that you're pregnant. Because your symptoms could indicate a serious condition, I would make an appointment now.
I've had similar symptoms and have never been pregnant.

After SWH. don't you mean expecting more than judgement and immaturity?

You did get some miner judgement. I don't see any comments that are immature. Do you really think that we can diagnose you over the Internet and without medical training? I doubt anyone has the same group of symptons coming from similar circumstances. We get irritated because of "can I be pregnant" questions. We're disappointed that our fortune telling ball Isn't working. That is a bit of humor.

This is one of the least favorite questions on this board, be forewarned. The reason for this is simple...the answers are obvious. Is it possible that you are pregnant and getting a negative on the test? Sure. Is it possible that you have, say, an ovarian cyst that can cause every one of the symptoms you listed? Yup. Is there any way that a bunch of strangers on the internet could advise you as to what is happening in your body better than your doctor? Nope.
At 19, you should know enough about your body to know that there are lots of things that can cause your symptoms. You should also know enough about birth control to be more confident about not being pregnant. And if you are trying to get pregnant at 19, there's certainly no way I can talk sense into you in a paragraph or two.
Best of luck, I hope it is something easily resolved or nothing at all.
