Hey there...Well I was 11 days late but I
ended up getting my period a few days
later. Being late could mean a lot of
different things. Medications could
effect when you get your period. The
reason I didnt get mine was because I got
sick before hand and was just late. The
best thing that you could do right now is
to go out and get a test. If you are 11
days late now would be the best time.

Nervous........ Posted: 11-28-05 12:58pm
Thank you for the advice, I guess I will
go buy a test. Im only 18 so im kinda
freekin out, about all this im not really
ready to b a mommy. I think im almost to
scared to even take a test ya know like I
have been thinking if I just ingore it I
will get my period, but that is not
happening. Do u have any idea if the
medication will affect the test result???
I know im asking so many questions im
sorry im just a lil nervous. I feel like
I might b having symptoms but they could
all just be in my head. Like my boobs
hurt soooo much and I get cramps but they
arnt major (like when I get my period I
get horrible ones uh) and they only last
like a minute and I have like whiteish
dishcarge thats a lil clumpy (sorry to
much information lol). I have never been
preg. Before so I dont really know what
to expect. Any more advice would be great
I know I should just go take a test I just
need to get up the nerve to do it. :?
Thank you so much!

You can probably call your pharmacy and
ask the pharmacist if the medication can
impact your period.
You definitely should test, though. I
never read anything that indicated meds
could influence a pregnancy test - after
all, hcg is the only thing the test is
searching for and other drugs in your
system shouldn't impact that result.
Good luck. I was 19 when I had my first
and everything has worked out beautifully
- I am the proud mom of an 11 year old
honor student who's now in junior high.
I'm also expecting another baby with my
new husband.

Well I really am not sure about the
medications interfering with the test but
I really dont think so. You know my
fiance and I have been trying to get
pregnant for a few months now and
everytime I miss a few days I start to
think that I may be pregnant. I start
thinking of symptoms in my head and a few
days when I just calm down and dont think
about it I get my period. So it could be
in your head. But you cant go on thinking
that it will just go away because if you
are it wont:) a test would be the best
option. You could also go see your doctor
too and he can do a blood test. Dont be
afraid. Just get it done:)

Hi there! Their are a lot of meds out
their that can mess with your period and
b/c meds along with stress and anxiety.
I am no dr but I know this from
experience, you might want to call your
pharmacist, if you think you are pregnant
please get tested so you can start your
prenatal care.
I quit trying to get pregnant and sure
enough, it happened, stress does not help
when you are trying to get preggers.
Baby dust to you!
Good luck!
