I'm scared I'm pregnant. I'm using the barrier method, specifically condoms, and I'm 8 days late on my period. I've been experiencing cramps and sore breasts for the last few days. My periods haven't been regular since I was a kid, and I've recently been on antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection. I get scared about the idea of getting pregnant every time I have sex, even though it's always protected.

I was supposed to get my period on May 8th, but I haven't yet and today I started spotting with cramps. I took a pregnancy test last week that was negative, and I have a doctor's appointment next week. I was on birth control for 15 years until July 2022, and my periods have been regular since November, coming between the 4th-8th of each month. I'm 30 years old and not on any medications. What could be causing this and what should I do?
