Scared And Caring Boyfriend. Plz Help! Posted: 01-14-06 10:52am
Hi,
my girlfriend's period is running a day or
2 late.. She has run late before but not
since august. She says that she is
feeling all the typical pms symptoms and
that her breasts aren't sore, sensitive,
or tender like they would be during
pregnancy. We also took 2 pregnacy tests
and both read not pregnant but she is
still worried and wants her period to
start. She has been under alot of stress
recently and i'm not sure if that has
anything to do with it. The only signs
she has are very severe cramps that have
progressivly worsening for about the past
day or so. I do not know too much about
pms or the menstral cycle or pregnancy
signs so I was wondering if anybody out
there who was more knowledgeable on the
subject could reply and try to help me
out. If anybody could I would be greatly
appreciative.
Thank you,
topher

Dude, if both test came back negative,
stop sweating. Stress most definately
plays a major role in if periods are late
or sometimes they are missed totally! Is
she on the pill and are you using
protection? Being on hte pill takes a
toll on ones body as well. Everyone has
different issues with their own body and
month to month they may be different.
Keep me posted!

Uhh she is not on the pill and we do have
safe sex most of the time. Occasionally
we don't, but when we don't I don't even
get near the point to where I ejaculate.
It just is basically making out while
inside of her (if you know what I mean).
She has been very stressed and she put on
some weight before christmas and I know
that can play a factor during the menstral
cycle. Thank you for the reply

Lots of stuff can mess with a girl's
period.
Weight gain, weight loss, stress, disease,
a change in birth control, and, of course,
pregnancy (im sure there are others, I
just can't think.)
she's probably not pregnant, i'm guessing
she's about my age
(i'm 17) and my friends and I have noticed
that none of our cycles are really all
that regular; they change a lot. If she's
having cramps and stuff, then she's
probably okay. If you're very very
worried, wait a little longer and take
another pregnancy test. Watch out
though--different ones have different
sensitivity levels, and since she just
missed her period, get a really sensitive
one. These are the most sensitive
ones--the lower the lowest hcg (the
hormone that all pregnant women have, it's
given off by the placenta, I think), the
better the test.

or, you could go to a clinic (planned
parenthood, for example) (you can find
them online, just google "planned
parenthood") and get either a blood or a
urine test. Her period's only a few days
late, and the odds are her cycle's just
changed. If she doesn't get it in a few
weeks though, make sure to take another
test and if it's still negative, take her
to a doctor.
Note: always wear a condom!!!! Even if
you dont ejaculate in her, you secrete
pre-ejaculate, which has semen in it!!
You could get her pregnant by doing this,
it's a long shot but it can happen!!
Sorry for all the exclamation marks, just
wanted to let you know. :)
you sound like an awesome guy. Keep it
up. Hope this helps!

I don't know if youre still stressing
about this, probably not at this point-
but maybe this will help someone else, but
I went through the same thing with my
period and the same kind of sexual
situation you desribed. The only
difference was I had lost weight. You
would be so suprised how much this can
mess up ones cycle. But chances are, if
you don't blow it in a girl, she wont get
pregnant. (but never, ever take the
chance haha)

I forgot to tell you this--pregnancy tests
don't detect pregnancy until around the
missed period. Some girls just have very
little of the hormones during early
pregnancy. So if you take one really
early, it might appear negative.
