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

My fiance and I had protected intercourse on March 31st, he used a condom and checked it after.

I had also started to lightly workout, 30min jogging maybe once or twice a week for 2 weeks. But stopped due to work and stress I was under for 2 days.

My period was due to come April 20th. I had taken 2 pregnancy tests on April 21st and April 28th both came out negative.

For the past week I have been constantly eating (the urge not feeling 'full), bloating, light cramping, and white discharge (or a 'wet feeling' as if it my period was coming). However, no sore breasts or oily face has happened (I usually get pimples) - which is usually the signs my period is coming.

Should I wait a few more days to test again?

Hi Anonymous,
Excessive exercise and excessive stress can cause a late or missed period. Your girlfriend could take a pregnancy test if her period does not come in the next few days. It is great that you use a condom every time that you have sex, but condoms are not 100% effective.
Please keep us posted.

Hi Diane and Empowher,

We really need your help. Me and my girlfriend are being stressed out because her period is delayed for 6 days (7 if it does not come today).

Facts:

I'm 20 and she's 18

She gets her period normally at 4 to 5 days but her last period lasted for only about 3 days (first two days are regular and the last day only 3 big spots). We attributed this to her physical activities for she is included in a half day sports fest when her period came.

The weather has been very hot.

She just came back from a 5 day vacation at the beach a week ago wherein she swam every night for about 2 hours at the least. This is somehow an abrupt change in schedule beacuse our semester just ended and she has been doing nothing but relaxing after finals and passing of requirements.

We have intercourse once a week and we use condoms every time and check for rips and tears afterwards. (For march: 16, 18 and 22)

She is experiencing period like cramping that comes and goes the past 3 days. No other symptoms are evident.

Her period schedules are:
October 8
November (we can't remember but it is around the first week)
December 5
December 31
February 2
March 5 (three days only)
April 5 (according to her computations but is not here yet)

What can be the problem? Thanks in advance for your answer. We are freaking out and can't concentrate on anything.

Hi Anonymous,

You are not pregnant because you have had your period.

hi mbit worred coz got unprotected sex on march 21 and by next week tuesday i got spotting and by friday i got my period and my 1stday was heavy and my 3rd beacame light it lasted 6 days pls help ami i pregnant? :'(

hi.

i really need your help for we are freaking out and can't handle the stress. my girlfriend and i had protected sex (always with a latex condom) on March 16, March 18 and March 22 (came on her breasts and wiped it off). i always check and double- check the condoms for rips and tears after the intercourse but there are none. she's four days late on her period that should've started on April 5 (according to her computations). her last period was from March 5 to 7 or 8. can she be pregnant?

My period is late by approx. 8 days and i cant help but worry!

I wouldnt say that my period is irregular, I do get it monthly,and i'm typically late by few days. The longest I've ever been late has been two weeks, but that was a couple years ago. I got my period on December 26th, January 29th, Feburary 29th, and it is now April 8th with no period. My bf and I had sex for the first time feb 18th, and i got my period on feb 29th. In march we had sex on the 18th, 22nd and 24th. I am not on birth control, but we did use condoms, and he withdrew before he came. We did this every time.

I have all my regular pms symptoms such as sore and fuller breasts, minor cramping (off and on for 4 days so far, although ive felt it more consistantly last night and today), fuller feeling in my abdominal area,a bit of white mucous-like discharge last night and once earlier in the week, and I've had a couple crying spells.
I understand that stress can play a significant factor and delay one's period. I recently rear-ended someone while driving, i've been fighting with my mom lately, and i have 3 exams in the next two weeks.Waiting for my period has been a scary experience and has made me more anxious and even more stressed. My biggest fear is if I were to be pregnant. My bf has been great at supporting me during this time, and it helps temporarily, but the absence of my period worries me more each passing day!

Help!

Update: It seems as though taking the Nuva Ring out after only a few days did affect my cycle. I got my period today, 30 days after taking out the ring. I am so relieved!
