MedHelp Member's Question

missed my period

Tags: maternal, family, negative, stress, test, worry

I've recently had sex for the 1st time (protected) a week after my last period...this month I'm 4 days late (no syptoms (symptoms) of it comign either). I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative and I've been under an extreme amount of stress this last month due to a family illness. What can be causing my period not to come?

Hi, you said it yourself, stress will hold anything back. If you had protected sex just after your period, chances are slim to none. I hope it all goes well for you. Just relax. I'm very sorry to hear about the death in your family. Take care.

I wouldn't say that! I got preg. a few days after my period stopped! Every women is different. By your screenname, are you young? If so your cycles may not be normal yet, which would mean you can ovulate at ANY time and become preg. or be late at any time too. I would wait a week and test again. Since you had "protected" sex, I want to tell you that you're in the clear, but that depends on the protection and if everything went well with it. Stress can delay your period too. Good luck and let us know!

I'm 24...so I'm pretty sure at this point in my cycle I'm regular. Again stillno period. I've asked my boyfriend if he noticed any tears in the condom and he said no as well as telling me that he pulled out right before he "came". I'm sure that it's just stress of having my father in the hospital...but to be on the safe side I willbe taking another test at the end of the week to see if it's still negative. Any addition suggestions are welcome!

I'm sorry that I took the "1818" part to mean you were younger than you are! Please forgive me! It very well could be the stress!! I would definitely re-test! It is not impossible that you could be, I know this is hard but if you worry about it, it will be stall it more! How can you not worry though right? Are you ready for a baby? Good luck to you and please let us know when you retest! Again, my apologies!
