okay so a little over a month ago i had sex 3 days in a row. and i started my period about a week later on time and everything...but it was lighter than they normally are. i took an at home pregnancy test and it was negative...but i'm still kind of scared.
My next period should be coming up here within the next 2 weeks or so and i'm praying that it comes back normally. is there a possibility that the reason my period was lighter was because i had had sex those 3 days in a row? i just need some answers. and i haven't had any other signs of pregnancy or anything besides the light period i had last month.... please help :)

breast tenderness also happens with pregnancy. take an hpt or go to your ob/gyn for a blood test.

okay still no period....it's really late...but i'm not too worried b/c it's been like 11 days late before..and it's late every month anyways or whatever. but i've been having menstural feeling cramps for the past 2 1/2 days on and off.. and my breasts have been getting sore for a while like they always do before i start...so i think thats a good sign?

Tbriana - Stress will definitely delay a period. Your stomach appearing a bit more pudgy might be caused by bloating caused by a period.

okay.. update:
so..my period still hasn't shown up...but my periods are always a different amount of days late every month anyways. like i never know when my period is gonna be...one month it's 3 days later than last month...and then the next month it'll be 7 days later. so i'm trying to calm myself down and not freak out too much.
but do you think a reason it is being so late is because i've been stressing myself out so much? b/c i know just the simple hormone changes of being stressed can delay your period and make it do weird things. i mean i haven't had any other symptoms still..except for i've been feeling kinda extra pudgy lately...but i think that it is just b/c i am so stressed and freaking out about it.
b/c i know it's true that if you keep telling yourself things like "i think i'm getting sick"..that your body will eventually make you start showing symptoms of getting sick and stuff b/c your mind is so powerful.
do you think it's the same case with my stomach appearing a tad bit more pudgy? just b/c i keep telling myself "oh my God you might be pregnant" and stuff?

update:
okay so i haven't taken another test or anything yet...but i think i'm going to be fine. b/c tonight i started having cramps that feel like the cramps i always get right before i start my period...and it's been like that for a few hours now. so hopefully i'm gonna start soon and everything will be okay :)

Your welcome, but like I said I wouldn't worry too much because I highly doubt you're pregnant. Let me know when you find out though.

[tbriana21]

thank you so much :] yeah i'm really praying that i'm not...i'm only 17...and i've made huge mistakes that i regret terribly. but i'll update if i find out anything

A woman with a normal cycle ovulates about two weeks after her period, so you missed your ovulation date by about a week, which is good if you're not TTC. Were you using protection?? If not there's a chance you could be pregnant, but whenever you have sex there's a chance for pregnancy. As long as your period came, and was as long as it normally is, (5-7 days if that's normal for you) then I wouldn't worry about it. If you were pregnant you'd show positive on a HPT by now, so if you want to test again to ease your mind you can, if not you can wait for your period, other than that I doubt you're pregnant. If you're not trying to get pregnant you should use some form of B/C though. Good luck!
