I've been getting my period for almost ten years and I have never been good at keep track because it came on so randomly. But it hasn't come on at all and it worries me at first I thought it was a yeast infection but I don't have symptoms. But sometimes when I wipe its white milky stuff and when I looked it up online it sad that it was something that happened before your period, that wasn't the first time it happened but I didn't know it happen before my period. But I still haven't got it. Is there something I can do to bring it on? Or a way to figure out whats wrong? I can't go to my sisters they're all younger than me and my mom is mom and it would be nerve wrecking to tell her and get her all worked up before I even know for sure whats wrong or I'm not overreacting. I'm not the skinniest person but I'm not obese either. This has never happened before. Please help.

Freaking out here.. In similar situation as one of these ladies.. Had intercourse around July 8, he pulled out and came then later in the month j got my normal period. It did not look like spotting(light pink) it was deep red and I also ran through tampons. Now here I am 11 days late (didn't have a period in August) and I have somewhat stretchy dark brown discharge TMI yes I know.. Am I pregnant?

I had sex on July 4. Later I got my period on July 22-28, I knew it was my period bc it was thick and I went through tampons like crazy. Now it's August and I have NOT had sex since July 4 and my period is 8 days late. Am I pregnant?

had sex with condom on May 3. And I got my period that month and also in June. However I did not get my period in July and its August and still no period. Can I be pregnant ? My periods were always irregular. I would go months without getting them but I was put on birth control to regulate it in the beginning of the year. I've stopped taking them and I've got my period every month except July and I haven't got one for August either.. Can I be pregnant ?

Hi I'm 17 years old I havent had sex but I missed my period

My boy friend and I haven't had sex yet, but earlier this weekend we engaged in fairly heavy petting. He may or may not have gotten a severely small amount of his "seed' on his hand ,possibly whiped his hand on the sheets and ,practically, immediately then began "playing" with me. This all happened the day before I was suppose to get my period. I am now 6 days late. Am I pregnant?

Hi. I'm 19 years old will be 20 next month . My period is 11 days late. I haven't had sex since the beginning of May but i used protection and he didn't ejaculate in me. I've received my period that month and the month after and now it's July and it's not here..I have started a new job and started exercising and changing my diet a little but idk. I have been feeling a bit nauseous but not in the mornings. Ex. for 2 nights in a row chicken has made feel like that. Should I take a pregnancy test? Even though I feel like I don't need to since I haven't done anything. Or could I be pregnant?

I am 18 and I had this issue quite often, still do. So I went to my Doctor and it turned out I had a cyst on my ovary. Apparently is is unique for someone under 30 to get them, but it happens. It is worth visiting the doctor to check because is it is a certain size it could have a bad effect on your ovaries.
