Scared And Concerned Boyfriend Posted: 01-14-06 01:01am
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

Hello Posted: 01-14-06 12:14pm
When was her last period? And how long
ago did she take her preg test sice shes
been late? And how late is she? You
might want to go to the doctor and get a
blood test as well , it will for sure come
up if shes pregnant, some people have to
have that done to really make sure, it
will take a big load off your shoulders.
Good luck to you. :)

I would really consider her going to the
doctor this could be something
serious....Not trying to scare you or
anything..And she also doesnt need to
stress that can cause her to miss her
period also...
Thank you,

Are you using any birth control? Some
women cramp when they are pregnant at the
beginning when their period is due.
Although I have also had that happen to me
once (not pregnant) and got my period next
day. Good luck to you both.

I wouldn't be too concerned if her
period's only a day or two late. If a
week passes and she still hasn't gotten
her period, re-test. Also, if she's on
birth control her period might come a week
early or a week late sometimes. You said
she's stressed out, so that could be a
contributing factor to the late period.

Topher,
it's very likely you both have nothing to
worry about, but it's always a good idea
to use reliable birth control to prevent
scares like this. I have been pregnant
five times, and i've learned that being
late a day or two is usually not too much
to worry about, especially when the girl
has been under a lot of stress. If I was
a week or more late, then I got the
test.
Help her relax - and find a method of
birth control you both are comfortable
with asap.
