okay, i'm only 17, so this is very scary
for me, and it could just be because my
period is not regular yet, but it has
never been this late (5 days today) and i
haven't had sex since my last period, or
what i thought was my period, it happened
12 days after i had sex, 3 days before my
period would normally start, i had cramps,
moodiness, and it was normal amounts of
blood for a period (light to heavy to
light) and lasted about 6 days. I have
just got out of school, so my sleeping
pattern has changed a lot (during school i
would go to bed around 10 and wake up at
7) now i'm going to bed around 1 or 2 and
sleeping til 12 or later, and since summer
has started i have gained some weight,
about 5 lbs, and today, 5 days after my
period should have started i feel crampy,
i have NO other symptoms of pregnancy, i
dont feel sick when i wake up, my boobs
are sore or tender, the only symptom i
have is a missed period... what do you
think is up?
[moderator note: i split this

Welcome to .ehealth!
If you haven't had sex since your last
period, I highly doubt that you are
pregnant. It is more likely that it is off
because of your age (like you mentioned).
A womans cycles can change many times in
there lifetime and chances are your body
is still figuring that out.
However, if you are truely concerned about
pregnancy, all you can do is take a test.
It would be accurate by now. If it comes
back negative then don't worry and give
your period some time to get there.
