Before you freak out.. sit down and get out a calendar. You need to figure out the last time you had your period. Use anything in your life to help you determine this. For example.. if I couldn't remember.. I would think back.. did I have it when I went to that concert earlier this month..? Or try to remember what was going on when you did have it.. for example, I can remember the last time I had my period.. there was a huge snowstorm or my cramps were bad and I didn't want to go to school, but I had to because of that test in Math. Then you would find out the date of the test and viola!

It is so important you find this out.. it may have only been a couple of weeks ago and you are all upset for no reason. If it has been an extended amount of time since your last period, schedule an appointment with your gyno. I would say buy a test, but.. if I were that concerned about it.. I would want to see a doctor to be sure of the results.

Chances are.. you're not. The statistics of women getting pregnant that way are very, very scare.. but, it does happen. I wish you the best of luck!

Lindsb, great advice.

Felicia, take a couple of deep breaths and try to relax. The most common reason for late or skipped periods is STRESS. Being worried about a possible pregnancy could be the reason you havn't had your period yet this month. There are lots of other reasons such as not consuming enough calories or over-exercise that could also cause you to miss a period or have it late. If you genuinely think it has been overdue and you need some reassurance, then go to a drugstore and buy a pregnancy test. They are only about $10 and it's worth it for your peace of mind. Chances are you are not pregnant, so this is a lesson for you to keep better track of your periods and be extra careful when getting intimate with your boyfriend. Everyones had this scare before, just take the test and you'll feel better (make sure to follow the instructions on the box carefully).

You should be very careful and do everything listed above but I will tell you that I am like 99% sure that you aren't pregnant- as long as he wasn't inside you I am sure you are fine in that regard. I wouldn't be too worried. But Always Always Always practice safe sex. You could still expose yourself to diseases and such. Also if your period is more than a week or two late you should go to the doctor anyway just to check and make sure everything is working normally. I am sure everything is ok but check everything out- better safe than sorry.
TINA!

If the pregnancy test is negative but you still don't get your period, take another test later. And make sure it's the first pee in the morning, the hormones are easier to detect. You'll be okay. If you're not ready, you're not ready. But like everyone else said, odds are you're not pregnant. You could be, but it's not likely. Just be careful next time!

As someone who used to work in a women's clinic, I would definitely encourage you to go to Planned Parenthood. Not only can they give you a pregnancy test (and they have an "early detection" one that you can take) but they will be able to talk to you about birth control options in a non-judgemental, informative way that will help you to choose a method that will work for you and your partner. As the others have said, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant, but it is essential that you give more thought to how you will prevent a pregancy before you engage in further sexual activity with your boyfriend. Take control of your life and future! Good luck.

I just want to say, don't feel scared or feel like a doof for getting yourself worked up. Something similar happened to me once, so I know what you're talking about. It turned out that I was getting worked up over nothing. Needless to say, I was more careful and responsible about my sexual activity actions from then on.

I agree with colormesticky

I would say calm down and take a breath for a second. More then likely you're probably not pregnant. But like the other ladies have stated in the above advice
The most common reason for late or skipped periods is STRESS. And if you're stressing and upset then obviously it's going to throw your cycle off. Also, I know from my own personal experience, it took about 6 months to conceive both of my little ones. And that was 6 months of really active trying. So more then likely you're not with child. But I know it's nerve wracking until you know for sure. Just hang in there! Hope it all works out hun!

And also, since you're probably going to have sex in the future, I would get prepared now. I would get something that you feel comfortable with, whether it be the pill, condoms or whatever, so next time you won't have to go through this. I know it's really stressful. We've all been through this, I'm sure, at some point and time. But it will be ok!

are you on birth control? if not- you should look into, even if you aren't having sex, you should be prepared and it will help regulate your periods.

stress could be the reason why your period is irregular. don't worry you're probably not pregnant you're just stressed out. next time use a condom or get on the pill so you don't have to get so freaked
