Late period due to stress?

[crystal-faerie.livejournal.com]

Im freaking out because my period is quite late.
I filled out this questionare I found on another community.
This has been x-posted to other communities.




1. What type of birth control (Condoms, pills, pulled out) did you use, if any? Condoms

2. Were there any problems with your protection (condom breaking, missing pills)? Not that I know of.

3. If you didn't use any birth control, are you trying to get pregnant? Definetly not.

4. How many days are between the first day of one period and the first day of your next? anywhere between 28-40

5. Any big changes which could change your cycle (major change in diet, exercise, new medication, new stress?) well, i kinda of stopped excercising, ive been going through a lot of stress in college... and family matters (my sisters been having anxiety attacks that just depress me and my dads having gall bladder complications and he needs an operation, me and my boyfriend were having problems...and we just recently "broke up", weve been going out for almost 3 years!)

6. What was the date your last period *started*? January 16th

7. What date(s) did you have sex? I think the end of January, and in the Middle of February.

8. Where was ejaculation(in vagina, in condom, pulled-out)? The condom. But usually to be "safe" he pulls out anyway (with the condom on) and then ejaculates.

9. Is there anything else that makes you think you're pregnant
My missed period. And also... I have been peeing a lot (sometimes) but I think its because sometimes I drink alot of fluids.
My breasts have been a very teeny tiny bit sore (very faint soreness...smiliar to what i get before my period) and it started last week.
But I havent been throwing up or having sensitive/dark nipples.


I am about to take a home pregnancy test :/ Im scared. But I swear, I feel no symptoms of pregnancy whatsoever. I dont understand how I COULD be pregnant. The condom never failed me before.

I think it's because of all the stress you're under, your period is delayed. That's common.

i certainly hope so. however, i do feel a little bloated, as i would before my period.

i hope its not weight gain from a fetus. (heh.)

but no nausea whatsoever, no cravings, etc.

my period has never really been this late, though. thats why im a bit worried.

I can just about guarantee it's just stress. Take a hot bubble bath, drink some sleepy time tea, and chilllll.

I was in a similar situation and didn't believe that I wasn't pregnant until my period came, but I still think it's worth it to tell you to treat yourself well and relax. :)

Yep, I would bet on the stress. I've gone up to three months without getting my period when under stressful situations. Take the home pregnancy test; you'll feel much relieved.

Good luck!

thank you all so so much. and its true, i really havent been able to calm down lately, i will try my best to.
ill still take the HPT though...just to be sure.

I'm going to go with stress as well; if you've been using condoms carefully and he doesn't ejaculate during penetration either, pregnancy is an extremely remote chance.

It never hurts to take a HPT if that will help calm your nerves, though!

[crystal-faerie.livejournal.com]

he doesnt ejaculate inside me though. i mean, even though he has a condom on, he still pulls out.

and weve been using the condoms the same way since weve ever started. i even watch, i really dont think he ripped it.

Yep, I understodd that part, as I said in my comment... that's what makes your chances of pregnancy even smaller.

I vote stress, too.

First off, your typical cycle "range" of more than a few days suggests to me that your cycle might be a bit more sensitive than average to environmental factors.

Also, my present cycle started on January 13th. Still no period. All stress, baby. All stress. ;)

Yep, mine started on January 29th and I use birth control as well as a condom. I'm still worried, though--even though Micronor makes my period all irregular anyway.

This is probably waaayy too late. But. My period has been delayed up to 3/4 months due to stress alone. It freaks me out everytime.
