Delayed period. Am I possibly pregnant?

[Nikkolebee]

Hi all, I'm looking for some help. Last month in June, I started my period on the 7th. This month in July, it is now the 13th and I still have not had my period. Although some things are making it difficult for me to figure it out. Strangely enough, on the 7th of this month, I didn't get my period but I got really sick. Strep throat in fact. Now I know that obviously being sick can throw it off. However, I realized I did not get sick until the exact day I was more or less suppose to start my period and yet even before that, I had no usually signs of my period coming. My breasts always hurt and are very sensitive at most two weeks before my period starts but this time, they never started hurting. I also usually get extra bloated but that didn't happen either. No cramps or anything as well. The only thing that occurred was breaking out on my forehead. Now, I am still sick but definitely not as bad and yet I still have no signs whatsoever of my period coming. Although I also have no signs of pregnancy either. Wondering if I should take a test by now or wait it out until my sickness completely goes away. Help anyone? It would be greatly appreciated!

Being sick often leads to a late period.  It's a very common thing that happens.  Stress, vacation, changes in routine, illness, weight gain or loss all can make us late.  I'd guess the strep throat and illness most likely made you late.  Have you had unprotected sex?  It never hurts to test but if you do, test one time and wait a full week before testing again.  Otherwise, you can waste a lot of money on tests.  good luck and let us know the result
