I am 15 yrs old and almost a month ago me
and my boyfriend had unprotected sex,
after the time of my period, now I have
missed this month's period which was
supposed to be here on the 15th of march
it is now the 17th of march, and im a bit
concerned, ive been researching some
symptoms of pregnancy and I have not been
getting sick or anything to that matter, I
feel fine. I also read that stress can be
the result of a missed period, well I dont
know if u would call this stress but I
have been worried about being pregnant,
and I think about it constantly, do u
think I am just stressing myself out and
that is why I have missed my period, or do
u think I could be pregnant?! And if u
think I could be pregnant should I go take
a pregnancy test right away?! And another
thing I have read on other information
sites about pregnancy and missed periods
and I have learned that in the teenage
years it is sometimes common for you to
miss a period or for it to come late...Im
really concerned someone reply asap!!
Thnx!!! :?

If you had unprotected sex then yes there
is a chance you could be pregnant but
stress can cause a delayed period I would
leave it another week and then do a hpt.
Are your periods usualy regular?
In teen years it isn't that unusual to be
late for your period.

Was it your first time having sex?
And if you're constantly thinking about
it, you're stressing yourself out over it.
I've done that to myself when I was your
age, when I lost my virginity. I didn't
start having normal, regular periods til I
was about 17 or 18.

Thnx for the advice...A friend of mine was
just over here earlier and I was telling
her how I was thinking and worrying about
it constantly and she thinks im just
letting it get to my head and im stressing
myself out and that I why my period is
late, because when she had unprotected sex
for the first time she worried about it
alot and her period came 2 weeks late...So
that made me feel a little better...I mean
im only 15 if I come out to be pregnant my
parents will kill me... But hopefully it
wont come to that...Im going to wait till
the end of the month if I still dont get a
period, then I will take a htp!! What do
yall think? Could it be stress??
Because I havent been stressed out b4 but
I get butterflies in my stomach from
thinking about it too much, so im just
trying to get it off my mind, and
hopefully things will be ok.
And no it was not my first time having
sex, but it was my first time having
unprotected sex....And I think that is why
im so worried....

If your only 2 days off you need to wait
it out and not stress and you wouldnt have
any symptoms yet

Ok thnx for the advice...But from what I
hear u can have symtoms up to 3 days after
having sex and its been almost a month and
a week since then it was on feb.14th when
we had sex....So if I was pregnant dont u
think I would be getting some kind of
symptom by now?!
And I really think its stress cuz I have
been stressing alot...Ive been constantly
thinking about it and worrying till I get
butterflies in my stomach! So maybe it is
just the stress.

Ok well another thing I would like to ask
advice on...The guy I had sex with is
indeed my boyfriend...Now b4 I go any
further let me tell u that my parents
especially my father are strict!! And
well my dad nor my 4 brothers believe in
interacial relationships...But the guy I
had sex with is indeed blk..And I am
white..Which really scares me because of
the fact that I am the youngest and the
only girl...Im afraid my dad is going to
make it out to be something that it
isnt...In other words over exagerate! And
im afraid...My mom knows that I am dating
this boy, but the rest of my family does
not...So if I am pregnant (knock of wood)
what would I do?! I think the thing that
worries me the most isnt the fact of being
pregnant...Its what my dad,mom, and
brothers will think of me....And that is
the reason why I think im stressing so
much over this...And like my bestfriend
told me earlier im letting it get to my
head and it is stressing me out and that
is why my period has not come.....Let me
remind u I am 15 turning 16 in june im
only a sophomore in highschool...And I am
extremly freaked out I dont usually miss
my periods but then again I dont usually
keep track of when they come...The 15th
was a guess but im pretty sure im right,
but maybe since im only 2 days late...Its
just the stress and worrying im
doing....How long should I wait b4 I begin
to think pregnancy is a defianent
answer?!? I was thinking about waiting
till the end of the month...What do u
think?!

Well hopefully even if your parents and
family are that strict if youhappen to be
pregnant and choose to keep this child
they can learn to accept it and learn to
love this child... Otherwise you can
always consider adoption if you choose to
keep the baby.... I know this is not
black and white but my husband is a strict
italian from a strict italian family and
it was verrrrry hard for them to accept
him dating and marrying a blonde white
girl from a democratic family (they are
true republicans haha) but now they have
accepted me it took a while but I am
accepted maybe not a true member of the
family but I am respected... If that
helps

Thnx for all the help...Well im trying to
not think about this too much, cuz I mean
I dont want a child, not now atleast, but
if it happens than im going to have to
accept it...But hopefully it wont come to
that, and hopefully im just stressed out
and thats why my period is
late...Hopefully!

I bet it was a great relief to start your
period! Please be safe and don't forget
the birth control pill, shot or whatever
along with the condums.
Sincerely,
sandy
