Hello Anonymous,

You would not be pregnant unless you had unprotected sex since your last period on October 17.

Stress can delay a period and that may be what is going on with you.

Hello Anonymous,

Other causes of a late period are stress, certain illnesses and medications, extreme changes in weight and excessive exercising.

Also, menstrual cycles can be irregular in the early months and first year or so.

You could schedule an appointment with a gynecologist, who can examine you and order any necessary blood tests to check hormone levels.

Hello Anonymous,

There could be a chance that you did become pregnant because of having unprotected intercourse and a period that was late with a light flow and short duration.

You could take a home pregnancy test and then speak with your gynecologist.

Hi, I'm 31, 8 years in relationship with my partner. Hoping to have a baby. Any advice about my situation. Thanks!
My last 3 month period are May 26, June 21, July 26. And now (Sept 10) still dont have my period. I took 2 HPT (early morning first pee) on Sept 1 and Sept 9(my partner's bday and requesting to have a gift from me wc is a positive result but sadly it came into a negative result. Im using pregnancy calculator since i noticed that my period was delay. I put 6 days for my days of period and 35 days for my menstrual cycle and it says on calculator I'm 11 days delayed and on the other hand when you count it from my last period its already 15 days. About symptoms, sometimes i feel the same symptoms when my first day period comes. Craving foods most of the time. Too sleepy. Bloated. Lower back pain and abdomen sometimes. Pee several times. A watery translucent/white discharge. Feel tired. Moody. Any advice. Thanks!

Hello Anonymous,

Though urine pregnancy tests are reliable, a blood hCG test is more accurate. Reach out to your gynecologist, who can order the blood test, if considered appropriate.

My Lmp was 29th July and I had sex with my boyfriend on 31st July, ie 3rd day of period. To be safe, I took an emergency contraceptive pill. My cycles are otherwise very regular, have never missed a period and they usually come in 28-30 days. Now it's been 12 days and no period. Should I be worried?
