The start of my most recent period was on Feb 26 - projected ovulation date being March 14, projected next period March 28 (via MyMonthlyCycles, where I have been keeping track of my period for 1 year). Average cycle - 30 days.
We had protected intercourse on March 3 and 24. The condom didn't break; slipped down maybe an inch but we pushed it right back up.
Now my period is 3 or 4 days late (depending if you count the 28th), with no usual signs of cramping etc that I normally get. Took two HPT's and both came out negative. Discharge looks normal, no tenderness of breasts or anything. I have had a little bit of an upset stomach but I think I may just be getting sick - I am under quite a bit of stress.
I know it's unlikely that I am pregnant, but I am paranoid since I can't afford to have a child right now. I have heard that stress really can throw off a regular period (I have been regular for 8 years now), but I have a hard time believing it since I am so paranoid... help? I don't know what's wrong with me!
Have a GYNO appt coming up in a month, but I'm the type of person who likes to know without going to the doc! It sure would be nice if my period would come!

Hi I'm toy
December 20, 2014 - 11:42amI'm 34 . I had my mirena removed 12/10/2013.
Ever since me and my fiancé have being trying to conceive. I had been keeping track of my cycle which is 28 day. My periods have came on time until this month which I was supposed to start on 12/17/2014. I know it's sort of early but..I took a pregnancy test and it was negative.
Is there a possibility that I'm pregnant. Or is my period late.

Hi Anonymous,
Being under a lot of stress, whether school or work related, can affect your menstrual cycle. In times of stress, the body secretes cortisol. Too much cortisol in the bloodstream has negative effects on the body.
You are only one day late and that is okay. It is normal for your menstrual cycle to be a few days longer one month.
White stretchy vaginal discharge is normal and often noticed right before your period is about to start.
Regards,

Hi so my period is now 6 days late.. I took a home pergnancy test and it came out negative. Could it be possible that I could still be pregnant? Or could it be possible for my period to not come at all and not be pregnant?
