I generally get my period between the 21st
and the 26th of the month. Earlier this
month, maybe two or three weeks ago, I had
protected sex. For some reason however,
I've been incredibly anxious. These were
my first sexual experiences, and I suppose
I'm very nervous that despite the condom
usage, I could get pregnant. I'm having my
PMS symptoms - cramping, my lower back
hurts, my legs and knees are sore and
aching - but I've also heard that
pregnancy symptoms are very similar. I
won't lie, I'm afraid to get pregnant so
unexpectedly, and maybe I'm making a whole
lot out of nothing. I guess I'm just
looking for some reassurance. Is this just
PMS, or could pregnancy symptoms occur so
soon? Is everything alright here?

I posted this in the 'anxiety and stress'
forum because I'm hoping the more likely
culprit is that being so panicky about it
is pushing my period back. I was expecting
it to start on the 21st.

Yes, stress and anxiety are a major
culprit in missed periods or late periods.
Especially stress. That is a for sure.
