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!

Hello Anonymous,
Take an early response pregnancy test. It is the only way to know whether or not you are pregnant.

Hello Maryann,
November 29, 2014 - 3:25amToday is the 6th day I missed my period. Yesterday (5th day of no period) I used Clear Blue pregnancy test (not the digital one). It came out as a very clear negative. Why is my period still late if it shows negative? Did I take the test too early?
To be honest, I have been worried of unwanted pregnancy ever since the day I missed my period (6 days ago). Up until yesterday when I saw the negative I had some peace of mind. Can this affect my late period? Or am i really pregnant?

Hey, we are in the same boat. My last period was on oct 27. My period should have started on the nov 24 , but it haven't came yet. I did have unprotected sex the whole two weeks.. I did have headaches and bloating that I throught it was my period but not.. And I have normal discharge with no smell or anything. Am I preagnant? I was going to take the test Friday. But I'm scared.

November 25, 2014 - 11:03amMy boyfriend and I had sex the day after my period (day 5 of my cycle) and my cycles range from 30-34 days recently but they used to be as long as 42 days. We used a condom but it broke but we knew right when it broke and stopped right away. He didn't cum either. I am now four days late and don't know if it's from stress of not having my period or if I'm pregnant. I've also had a yeast infection right around the time that I should have ovulated. Could that effect it also?

My girlfriend and I have had protected sex several times, she is on birth control and she also has been stressed out because of school and multiple reasons. She is about 4 days late on her period. What could it mean?

I am a 19 year old college student, who has been with my boyfriend for over a year. We always, always, always use condoms and he checks them afterwards. I am now 3 days late on my period, but I have been extremely stressed because of school. I have all of my pms symptoms and nothing out of the ordinary. I am unsure if I should take a test because my period is known be off by a couple days at a time. I ovulated about 15 days ago and I have had no implantation bleeding. I am a little scared but I don't know what to do.

Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for your question. I think stress can be causing a delay in the start of your period. Since you and your boyfriend are careful by checking and using condoms, I really do not think you are pregnant. With a history of being a few days late, I suggest you relax for now.

May period is irregular. My cycle varies from 36 to 46 days. I had may last period oct 6 for about 6 days. Now its nov 18 and i still dont have any bleeding. Me and my bf had sex several times but use withdrawal to prevent pregnancy. Could i be pregnant or it could be just late? Ive been under so much stress worrying this past few weeks already. Tnx
