A missing period and pregnancy Posted: 06-25-08 10:16am
Hello,
I was wondering if it appeared that I am
pregnant. Surely you'll be unable to
answer as "every woman is different". But
I decided to ask anyway.
I have never kept track of my period or
menstrual cycle, until my last cycle which
has yet to end.
I got my last period May 21 2008 and it
finished on May 28 2008. It is now June 25
2008 and still no period. It has been 36
days since the start of my last period, is
my next period going to come???
I have been having unprotected sex for
about 2.5 months now, and have noticed in
the past few days more discharge than
usual, and perhaps even a wee-bit globby.
I've also had severe cramps the past two
days, similar if not identical to
pre-menstrual cramps, but usually I only
have cramps one day before i get my
period...?
I use to be tired all the time (due to
stress) and now I feel like I've got
astronomical amounts of caffine in my
system (VERY hyper) which contradicts a
pregnancy...
Pregnancy test was negative, i took it 4
days ago.

Every pregnancy is indicated by a missing
period but not every missing period means
that a woman is pregnant. That’s why we
use a pregnancy test to check if a missing
period is due to pregnancy or not.
In cases when the cycles/periods are
irregular it is hard to say if a period is
missed or only delayed.
A negative pregnancy test is proof that
pregnancy is not the cause of your
missed/delayed period.
