Hi!

Eight days is too soon to do a home pregnancy test, so the negative result wouldn't be accurate.  Also, at 3 - 4  days past conception, or since you say you had sex with your boyfriend, your body wouldn't even know it is pregnant, as implantation of the embryo wouldn't have even happened, so I really think you need to wait until your period is due.  I never started getting pregnancy symptoms until around five weeks with both of my children, however, everyone is different, but I really think at only 8 days since having sex, the symptoms you're outlining are maybe due to something else, or your period coming on.  But the reality is you could be pregnant, so I would wait for my period, and if it doesn't come, I would go and see a doctor to get tested for sure.  Also, you need to keep in serious mind the fact that you are only 15, and also, you've had unprotected sex with your boyfriend, and should be tested also for STDs.  I realise the condom ripped the first time, but the second time you say your boyfriend didn't want to use one, but you should know the consequences of going without a condom.  It doesn't matter how short or long the unprotected sex is, the point is that pregnancy can occur and STDs can be contracted, so please think about protecting yourself in the future, you're so young, and have your whole life ahead of you!!
I really hope things work out.  Please let me know how you get on.  And if you are pregnant, you're going to need support as to whatever you decide to do:0)

For home pregnancy tests, it's best to wait 14 or 15 days past the time you reckon conception could have occured.  Definitely go and see your doctor if your period doesn't come, and remember to get tested for STDs.  All the best:0)

yeah, i know it was kind of piontless doing a preg. test only a week after conception, since i didnt have a missed period yet because its only due in 2 weeks time but i will try going to a doctor and getting tests done there and see what happens. thanks for your comment:)

I know it may sound funny but the high price test I myself had negative results even though I was preg at the time. Wal-mart cheap tests do work great and usually wait till a week before or a week after your missed period.

serious? in the instruction it saids 10 days after conception but in fact i did it with my friends mam who got me the preg. test and is really concerned and worried about the situation, she said it doesnt matter at all weater its 5 or 10 days after because yuor urine is diffrent than usual so it should give you an accurate answer but obviously home pregnancy tests arnt 100% accurate so i guess ill have to wait and find out. thanks for your comment and suggestions. they help alot:)

yes mam you sure can be preg,, in order for a home preg test to work you have to be somewhere around  6 weeks,,

the only way you can find out is through a blood test.. and to me it sure does sound like you are preg. but too early for any symptoms,,but everyone is different..

so i suggest you go to your doctor and take a pregnancy blood test
