Could I Be pregnant?

June 24, 2009 - 4:10am 119 reads 7 comments

I've been under quite a bit of stress lately. Boyfriend leaving after abuse and havent been taking my pill for about 2 months. We broke up last week and to be honest with everything thats gone on I cant remember the last time we had sex. I know we definately did last month but I got my period afterwards. We didn't use condoms or anything. I am now 5 days late. Could it be due to stress? If we didn't have sex this month and I got my period last month could I be pregnant?

Hi. I tried to see a therapist but she just told me the same thing as everyone else around me has done and to be honest it got a bit expensive. There is a long waiting list for the doctor to refer me to a counsellow. It's been 9 days now and I still havent had my period. Surely stress can't make me that late? Thankyou for all your advice and support.I had a look at that website and it is very informative!

Yes, stress could make you that late -- in fact, sometimes if you are seriously stressed out, which I know you are, you can even miss a period. Our hormones are so sensitive that they react to the things going on in our world, and it's quite possible to be one week, two weeks, three weeks late.

Can I ask why you haven't taken a home pregnancy test?
