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!

Hi, Anon:
You might just be feeling a lot of stress from all your worry, plus having just started school.
Then again, if you miss your next period, that would indicate a greater possibility of being pregnant. It all depends upon when you were ovulating.
I would suggest going ahead and doing another test next Monday.
Now, if it does come up positive, are you prepared to handle the situation?
I was just wondering is it possible stil to get ur period whilst pregnant ?
I had unprotectd "fooling around!" 2/3 wks ago, and my period came yestrday, ive been reali nauseous and got alot of pregnancy symptoms, could the bleeding be spotting or am i getin worked up over nothing?
I have also put on weight around my lower back, bum n boobs, and my boobs are really sore and tender for over a wk now, which usually dont hurt until i get my period starts, It might be all in my head but i was just wondering and then tonight i got sore pains in my stomach, but different to cramping.
I hate anything with a strong smell, i have went off chinese food i used to eat all the time i cant even mention now, and find it hard to sleep at night also ..
Thanks for the time, Niamh
Hi, Niamh:
Once you're pregnant, you will not have another period during your pregnancy. If you're spotting, that could indicate a problem.
Have you done a pregnancy test?
Perhaps this will help: Understanding your menstrual cycle
hey anonymous i suggest you go to a doctor but if your period came down i dont think you need to worry about anything maybe its all in your head but just go for a follow up at a clinic and yes you could be pregnat and still have your period a friend of mine did all her 9 months of pregnancy so i advice get testet just one more time.... hope this help........missred.......
Please do NOT mislead anyone with your misinformation. It is impossible to be pregnant and have a menstrual cycle at the same time because the two events cannot occur at the same time.
What can happen, however, is vaginal bleeding that may or may not require medical attention. If you did have a period, that can indicate miscarriage.
