Hello,
I found this site on Google; Everyone here seems really nice from what I've read, so I figured I'd share my dilema because I am really nervous.
My last Period began on Sept 21. My boyfriend and I had sex on the 24 (towards the end of my period.) and it ended around the 26. Towards the end of my period, I got a small head cold, nothing severe though. We also recently had sex on Oct. 15. I am not on the pill but both times we used Condoms; he did come inside me both times, but neither time did the condom break nor rip, there were no holes, nothing leaked at all (Believe me, we both doulbe checked)
I know you must get this question alot, but I am never late so I'm feeling very scared that I might be pregnant. There was one time that I was a couple days late due to stress, but that was before I was sexually active. I know I can't completely rule out pregnancy and I should take a test but I guess I just want to know the odds of being pregnant over stressed (or vice versa) based on my situation.
Thank you. Hope you can help :)

Hi Steph,
Welcome to EmpowHER and thanks for your question. Glad to hear good things about us. I can imagine the stress you might be under of knowing if you are pregnant or not. But Stress itself can affect many things in our lives, including our periods. Sometimes we're so stressed out that our body decreases the amount of a hormone (GnRH), which causes us to not ovulate or menstruate. Also, the breast tenderness and cramping can be due to your Menstrual being delayed. You might want to wait a week before taking a pregnancy test. Once you have conceived, it will take about 10-14 days for hCG to show up in your urine. If your period doesn't come in a few days, it's important you see your doctor.
Best of luck and keep us posted,
