Another "Pregnant? or just Stress-induced missed period?" question

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!

My cycle was 2 days late in April. I had a negative pregnancy test. I missed my cycle in May and have a positive pregnancy test. Could my April cycle be late because I was early in the pregnancy? Could it have been implementation bleeding? I was well into 2-3 months before I had a positive pregnancy test with my other 3 children.

My last period started on March 27th, my period was a week early. I have been sexually active since then, and I haven't had my period since. The month before March, I started my period around the 3rd-6th. My period hasn't showed up this month, should I be worried?

Hello Anonymous,

I think you should take a home pregnancy test.

Hi, I had my last period March 20, my boyfriend and I had sex March 31 and the condom broke. I supposed to get my period on april 15 based on my calculations (my cycle is usually 27-28 days) and now i am 4 days delayed. i took the test twice and it came out both negative. Am i pregnant? or is it just stressed? ever since the condom broke i cant stop thinking about it. and also i started drinking vitamin c. since i heard it helps induce menstruation but still it hasnt come. please help, i am not ready to have a child

Hello,
I've recently am a little concerned of being pregnant really could use someone's advice, I had a period January 29th basically missed February (I guess due to it being a short month) got my next period March the 2nd, but now it is April 2nd, I'm very precise in my periods they usually come the day of or before the day I started last month, but last month and this month it is not like that. Me and my boyfriend did have sexual intercourse on March the 11th and March the 17th where he did ejaculate in me, both times. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it came out Negative, could it be a possibility that I may be??? I am a mother of one but I didn't find out I was pregnant till 2 months into the pregnancy!
