Hello everyone,

my boyfriend and I are both 19 and have been sexually active for about 7 months now. We always use protection and are as safe as we possibly can.

I have always been worried when it comes near to the time when I am expecting my period. For the first few months I got my period regularly and everything was fine.

But then one month for some reason I was more worried than usual. I guess it was due to the fact that my sister's best friend had just found out she was pregnant at 17. When I say worried I mean severe anxiety. There was this constant pain in my stomach and I felt this feeling of dread the days before my period arrived.

Well my period didn't come...And I got even more scared. I live with my boyfriend so I was driving him crazy talking about it all the time and worrying, I thought about it literally all day long. Well he convinced me to go with him to get an at home pregnancy test. I took it and the results were negative. I finally felt better and the next day my period came.

The next month my period came as usual and things were fine. But this month that horrible worried feeling is back along with the stomach pain. I'm so scared and worried. My boyfriend is really upset cause he doesn't know what do do to calm me down. My period is already 4 days late. We're thinking my only option will be to take another pregnancy test.

I'm scared for two reasons, one being that I might be pregnant, and two will I be forced to use pregnancy tests every month to calm me down enough to have my period?

I need some advice, i'm desperate. Is there anything I can do to stop this???

I've been searching all over the net and I can't get the help I need for this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
