Stress Bites
Posted: 01-03-06 22:10pm

Um ello. I just recently (about two weeks ago) lost my virginity to my boyfriend whom I love very much. He used a condom and it didn't seem like it was leaking or anything but i'm worried. I should've started my period this past weekend and haven't and I know it isn't that late but normally i'm on time. I've tested negative twice though I plan on testing in a week or two just to be sure.

Despite the fact that we used protection i'm still worried about not having started my period yet. I keep feeling like im about to start my period and I don't which is getting very annoying. I also felt slightly nauseous yesterday and this morning though that also happens to me when i'm really stressed. I don't know if I should be worried about the possibility of being pregnant or if i'm just stressing myself out with this and it being my senior year to the point of making me miss a period.

Should I even bother with taking another test or is this more than likely just too much stress messing with my cycle? Also once I get rid of all this stress should my period go back to being normal again or will it take a while. Sorry for the silly question, stress has just never really effected my period. Thanks in advance.

As you did use protection, you are probably only having irregular periods, although there is a slight chance of pregnancy. Don't freak yourself out over it.

You didn't mention how old you were, but if you are a teenager then your periods are more likely to be irregular. If you are still worried, then you can always take a hpt in a few weeks.

Good luck!

I'm 17 and my periods are usually normal. The past couple of days I keep feeling like i'm about to start my period and yesterday and today I had a bit of spotting which is normal for me the day before my period starts. I asked my mom about the spotting and she said it's happened to her before because of stress so i'm thinking I just worked myself up way too much over all of this.

If I do test again should I do it in a few days which would be about a week from when my period should've started. Or would it be better to wait another week?

Ok, well I say try to be calm, my stress has messed me up b4. I was stressed out so bad, crying etc. And then my best friend and I went for a walk and she got my mind off it. Later that night I had forgotten all about my probs and I got my period :p
