feeling a bit paranoid

hellooo! i am scared i might be pregnant but also logically i believe i am not, i really just need some other opinions because google is scaring me a bit lol.

the date of my last period was april 2-8 and i had protected sex a few times on the 13th, 21st, and 24th. after each time, my partner would clean up and wipe himself down before going again and there were no known issues with the condoms.

on april 23rd, i had brown spotting. it was pretty light so i didnt really think anything of it, but it lasted for exactly a week (23rd-29th) and the flow was light to medium. i don’t think i noticed any clotting. there was enough of the brown blood to cover my underwear over a few hours though.

im starting to believe that that “spotting” was a weird period, but im really not sure. if it isn’t actually a period, then im 8 days late since my last real period was april 2nd. im just really unsure.

there have also been a few factors that maybeee could play a factor in the “spotting”/“weird period” that month which includes: travel for a competition (took place from like 5am to 7pm), taking a day trip to a theme park 4 hours away from me (4 hours to and 4 hours back) while being extremely sick with a fever and stuffy nose and going to sleep at 6am because of it, getting poor sleep in general, and i currently have the flu.

my periods have been becoming a lot more regular as of the past year so im a bit worried because of this. i have not been experiencing any early pregnancy symptoms like breast tenderness or frequent urination. at most I experience is nausea but I only have experienced this while I’ve been sick. I have been diagnosed with hashimotos disease in the past but I never needed medication for it if that matters. i also haven’t experienced weight gain, my weight usually fluctuates between 130-132 and was 130.0 today when i checked (after eating, drinking, etc). I was 131.6 a day or 2 ago if that matters as well.

if someone can help me i would really appreciate this, i just need someone to talk to about this and to let me know im probably okay 🥹 thank you so much!
