Menstrual Cycle Questions
Posted: 05-31-04 06:28am

My bf and I have been having sex since february. The first time we had sex was at the end of february, my pervious period had been in the second week of february. My next period had not come until the end of march (24th) and then it came again on april 24th. So now I was expecting my next period on may 24th or so and it never came. My boyfriend suffers from slight panic attacks and has dreams that effect him too, so he was and has been overly worried. The last time this happened we took a pregnancy test and it came back negative.
We took the test again on may 28th, the day it should have been "on time" and the test came back negative again. I still havent had my period and im not too worried considering the test came up negative, but what should I do?

The best option here is to simply wait about a week to see if your period comes. Because you are only a couple of days late, the test you took may not of detected the hormone hcg. If you are pregnant, in a week your body will produce more of the hormone, which will be detected more easily by a test. In a week if your period still hasn't come and you get another negative test you are not pregnant. There are many things that can affect the time your period comes; stress, exercise, eating habits, etc. I am not sure if you are trying to become pregnant, but if you aren't, you may want to think of getting on some form of birth control. Good luck.
