I'm a bit worried. I had protected sex yesterday and just to be extra sure, I took a pregnancy test today which came back negative. But then, I got my period later, though it was a little late. Do I need to take another pregnancy test, or should I be concerned about getting pregnant? I really don't want to be pregnant right now. Can you help me figure this out?

It's reassuring that the pregnancy test came back negative, especially since you got your period, even if it was a bit late. Delayed periods can sometimes happen due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. Since you had protected sex and the test is negative, there's no need to worry about pregnancy at this point, but if you're still concerned, you can repeat the test or consult with your doctor for further peace of mind.
