My boyfriend and I are sexually active,
and no matter what, I always make him wear
a condom. He says he always checks to be
sure nothing broke, etc. However, this
March, I have missed my period completely.
And I took an at home pregnancy test that
came up negative. I am still waiting until
April to take another and I am planning on
getting a blood test anyway, but I was
wondering, is skipping your period for a
month normal for young adults? And if you
can think of anything else I missed to
inquire about, please give me as much
advice as possible!!
Missed periods can be caused by many other
things, like stress, changes in weight,
sickness, new medication or just an
imbalance of your hormones. If you do
another test and it's negative, have the
blood test done to be sure, and if that's
negative see your doctor about what else
it could be.
Although it may not be pregnancy, do
remember that no form of contraception is
100% effective, so consider using another
form of contraception too, like the pill.
Try not to worry too much about it though,
or that could delay your period even more.
Good luck!
**edited to add.. my periods took a few
years to settle down, and yes I did miss
some altogether in that time.
