sorry i keep coming back.
I have had a 24 day period since the risk and have had 8 negative pregnancy tests.
Can a 24 day long period indicate a pregnancy?
I am late for this period but I feel like it could be because my bleeding ended late this month and have had a hormonal imbalance and on top of that have taken the tests (all 21 days post risk).

It looks like last time you wrote in, you also asked whether you could be pregnant after 8 negative pregnancy tests. My answer is the same as Sofi's - 8 negative tests that were done according to the directions means that you aren't pregnant. Because you've asked about pregnancy scares a few times, in the future it would be more helpful to use the "Pregnancy Panic Companion" article. In this thread, instead we could focus on talking about:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family

I also saw you talked about OCD and anxiety about pregnancy that sounds pretty disruptive - how are you feeling about this?
