Hey ya'll, my name's ashley and i'm new to
these forums. I'm 17 years old. I've
never been good at keeping track of my
period, as far as specific dates go, but I
know that by the 20th I usually have it.
Around october 3rd I slept with my ex
boyfriend, and that's the only sex i've
had this month. It wasn't completely
preotected, he only pulled out - which I
realize was a stupid mistake on my part,
and I know it's not a good form of birth
control or anything like that.
So here I am, october 26 and i'm still
lacking my period. I keep thinking that
it's there, cuz I start feeling a little
funky, but when I check there's nothing.
I'm having occasional cramps, and
lower-back pains. Also, frequent
headaches and I also feel really sick,
like i'm going to throw up, but I haven't.
And I don't know if any of these are
symptoms or anything, but i'm also having
heat flashes. I get really hot, then
really cold, it's a cycle. I took an
e.P.T test this afternoon after school,
and it came back negative.
And yet, I don't feel any more secure
about this. I'm going to try another test
tomorrow morning, cuz I heard that your
first urination after waking up is the
best to use.
But if it comes back negative, then what
could this all mean? The symptoms i'm
having and the lack of my period... Could
the negatives be false, even though I
should've gotten my period a week or more
ago?
Someone just please give me some advice,
and thanks for your time and help.
-ashley.

It may be a false negative, but if you're
stressing about it that could also delay
your period. The only way to know for
sure is if you go to your doctor and ask
for a blood test.
