The start of my most recent period was on Feb 26 - projected ovulation date being March 14, projected next period March 28 (via MyMonthlyCycles, where I have been keeping track of my period for 1 year). Average cycle - 30 days.
We had protected intercourse on March 3 and 24. The condom didn't break; slipped down maybe an inch but we pushed it right back up.
Now my period is 3 or 4 days late (depending if you count the 28th), with no usual signs of cramping etc that I normally get. Took two HPT's and both came out negative. Discharge looks normal, no tenderness of breasts or anything. I have had a little bit of an upset stomach but I think I may just be getting sick - I am under quite a bit of stress.
I know it's unlikely that I am pregnant, but I am paranoid since I can't afford to have a child right now. I have heard that stress really can throw off a regular period (I have been regular for 8 years now), but I have a hard time believing it since I am so paranoid... help? I don't know what's wrong with me!
Have a GYNO appt coming up in a month, but I'm the type of person who likes to know without going to the doc! It sure would be nice if my period would come!

Hi Anonymous,
There is no risk for pregnancy because you were wearing underwear and sweat pants. The semen remained on the outside and could not penetrate the fabric of your clothes.
The cramping could be stress related. Please relax and you will feel better.

Okay, so why does my lower stomach stick out more? Is it possible it is just in my head? Because I havent had any symptoms besides the sore breast and cramps, but I feel like that can be PMS related? I've also started to record the times I went to the restroom, and my times were really sperate. Cause I've read that pregnant women tend to have frequent urination.

Hi Anonymous,
Nuvaring is a small flexible birth control ring. You insert it
vaginally and remove it yourself, similar to a
tampon. Except you leave NuvaRing in for 3
weeks, take it out, then put in a new one a week
later.
Did you have one in place when you had sex?
I am glad that you have an upcoming appointment with your doctor, who can examine you, order a blood pregnancy test if necessary and do an ultrasound. You should get the answer and guidance that you need right now.

My periods are sometimes off by a couple days so I never know exactly when I ovulate. Now my period came dec 14th and by my tracker it should have came like the 12th. I had sex the second day of my period(which by the way it was a very light, very period) and this month there is nothing and not even. Sign of it.. I've had a little fever that's it! I just had sex today bc sometimes having sex brings on my period if it's due.. But is there a chance???? I hope so been trying for 3yrs

I had a hook up 1 1/2 weeks before my period in November we did use protection it slipped a little as he pulled out but none had gotten in me as far as I know. then got my regular period that month. I just got with my boyfriend on the 1st of December I was suppose to start on the 28th but my cycle is usually a 2-3 days off its now the 29th and still no period is it possible for me to be pregnant?

Had sex for the first time a couple of weeks ago, two successive nights, both protected via condom (new, not expired) but no birth control (I do not plan to have sex again until I am on birth control). We were very careful and checked for breaks afterwards even pouring water into the used condom to make sure there was no leakage. All was safe, but I'm still very anxious and worried due to it being my first time and condoms not being completely preventive 100% of the time. Could we have missed a leak? This is the only way that I would have experienced vaginal contact with any sperm. I was projected to start my period today, but I haven't...should I be worried or am I really just overthinking/stressing this? I have experienced some of my typical PMS symptoms like increased appetite, mood swings, and slight cramps. However I have also noticed that my nipples are a little sore which is uncommon for me. I'm sure I shouldn't worry, but the whole situation is making me very anxious and paranoid. I know I'm not late yet technically, but I was hoping for some peace in mind to ease the stress that could very likely delay my upcoming period. If it is late though, how many days should I wait to take a pregnancy test just to be safe and sure? I don't think I should be as worried as I am, but because I am new to sexual activity in the form of vaginal penetration, I'm on high alert. Thank you in advance!

hi, I am 41 years old. My period is 9 days late but a HPT today came as negative. I had intercourse only once and my husband used the pull out method. I have a few symptoms like a bloated stomach and sore nipples. Pl help, could it be that i am pregnant?

I am 19 years old. I had unprotected sex on December 6th 2014, which was a day after my ovulation day. He used the pull out method, my period is 3 days late & other than nausea & fatigue I have had no other symptoms of pregnancy. I use the period tracker app & it should have been here on December 19th. If I took a test would it be too early to tell?
