Is she usually on time? Also, (obviously, I don't know how old you two are) is being sexually active new for her? If it is, it's possible that's throwing her off a bit. And, just being a teenager in general can screw it up... Did for me. She might just be late... Or even skip a month. It happens.

The more she worries about it, the longer it will take for her to start. Stress affects how your body works a lot.. Especially when it comes to women and their periods.

Again, I don't know how old she is, and I don't know what the laws are where you live, but it's possible she could confidentially go to a clinic and get a blood test. That's if you're completely worried. You can look for a planned parenthood place or a clinic and just call and see what their policies are regarding parental notification. Even if they do contact parents, they can't do so just because you call and ask.

Good luck!

Obviously, no one here can tell you whether or not she's pregnant. My boyfriend and I have been where the two of you are.. Trust me, I know how excrutiatingly worrisome it can be, and I totally sympathize.

However, hpts are pretty reliable, and i'd wager that if she took two of them and they both were negative... She's probably not pregnant. Especially if she took them this long after she was expected to start.

The delayed period could be from any number of things, but it's most likely because she's stressed out; whether it's about this or something else or a lot of things together. I'm not going to tell you to tell her to relax, because it will never work, I know. However, if she (and you) is that worried, she should go get a blood test. It can at least give her peace of mind and maybe help her relax.
