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

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
