Q: Scared And Caring Boyfriend. Plz Help!

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

Hope to Be of Some Help!
Dude, if both test came back negative, stop sweating. Stress most definately plays a major role in if periods are late or sometimes they are missed totally! Is she on the pill and are you using protection? Being on hte pill takes a toll on ones body as well. Everyone has different issues with their own body and month to month they may be different. Keep me posted!

Uhh she is not on the pill and we do have safe sex most of the time. Occasionally we don't, but when we don't I don't even get near the point to where I ejaculate. It just is basically making out while inside of her (if you know what I mean). She has been very stressed and she put on some weight before christmas and I know that can play a factor during the menstral cycle. Thank you for the reply

Lots of stuff can mess with a girl's period.
Weight gain, weight loss, stress, disease, a change in birth control, and, of course, pregnancy (im sure there are others, I just can't think.)
she's probably not pregnant, i'm guessing she's about my age
(i'm 17) and my friends and I have noticed that none of our cycles are really all that regular; they change a lot. If she's having cramps and stuff, then she's probably okay. If you're very very worried, wait a little longer and take another pregnancy test. Watch out though--different ones have different sensitivity levels, and since she just missed her period, get a really sensitive one. These are the most sensitive ones--the lower the lowest hcg (the hormone that all pregnant women have, it's given off by the placenta, I think), the better the test.

Test name lowest hcg detected
aimstick pregnancy test strip 20 miu
accuhome midstream pregnancy test 25 miu
answer early result pregnancy test 25 miu
answer pregnancy test (cup) 25 miu
clearblue /- 25 miu
confirm 1-step pregnancy test 25 miu
equate pregnancy test 25 miu
first response early result pregnancy test 25 miu
one step be sure pregnancy test 25 miu
precise pregnancy test (doctors office) 25 miu
quickview pregnancy test (doctors office) 25 miu
walgreen digital 25 miu

or, you could go to a clinic (planned parenthood, for example) (you can find them online, just google "planned parenthood") and get either a blood or a urine test. Her period's only a few days late, and the odds are her cycle's just changed. If she doesn't get it in a few weeks though, make sure to take another test and if it's still negative, take her to a doctor.

Note: always wear a condom!!!! Even if you dont ejaculate in her, you secrete pre-ejaculate, which has semen in it!! You could get her pregnant by doing this, it's a long shot but it can happen!! Sorry for all the exclamation marks, just wanted to let you know. :)

you sound like an awesome guy. Keep it up. Hope this helps!

I don't know if youre still stressing about this, probably not at this point- but maybe this will help someone else, but I went through the same thing with my period and the same kind of sexual situation you desribed. The only difference was I had lost weight. You would be so suprised how much this can mess up ones cycle. But chances are, if you don't blow it in a girl, she wont get pregnant. (but never, ever take the chance haha)

Ps
I forgot to tell you this--pregnancy tests don't detect pregnancy until around the missed period. Some girls just have very little of the hormones during early pregnancy. So if you take one really early, it might appear negative.
