    It was due today? I never know exactly what day mine is due on. If she hasn't gotten it in two weeks, then start worrying. Be aware that it's not unheard of to randomly miss a period for no clear reason.

    Seriously, though, relax. It's not like they adhere to a strict schedule.

    Its the atomic clock, not the vaginal clock, for good reasons :pac:

    now laugh at my pathetic joke and have a beer. stop worrying.

    Hi op,

    I wouldnt worry, they dont always arrive exactly on time and if shes on the pill on you are using extra protection as well the chances of being pregnant are very slim. If she still hasnt got it in a few days get a pregnancy test or visit the doctor to put your mind at ease.

    Was in a similar situation only till a few days ago and turned out to be a hoax after the period was nearly a week and a half late.

    Worrying about 1 day is just stressing your self unnessessarily.

    As a poster above said have a beer and relax.

    Hey OP. I wouldn't worry...now.
    Sometimes they come early, sometimes they come late.
    If it starts to get unusually late, then panic.
    I'm suprised your gf made an issue out of being 1 day late. She must be young.

    girls dont have them on the same day every month. im sure you 'll be fine, just use more protection next time, idunno, something like 4-5 condoms at the same time or simfing

    Dont agree that her age has anything to do with it and the op didnt say his girlfriend was worried.
    OP this happens all the time, using the methods ye are using ye will be grand and i know its normal to worry :). If nothing happening tomorrow get a test.

    OP: It sounds like you have nothing to worry about on the pregnancy front. If she is actually taking the pill and you are using condoms then she is not pregnant.

    But your post suggests that something about the relationship is gnawing away at you. It could be that you are not emotionally ready for a sexual relationship and all of the potential consequences. It could also be that deep down, things have gotten to a level with your current girlfriend that you are not really comfortable with. This current problem is your subconscious warning you that you don't want things to go to a level with her where there is no turning back.

    Sit down with a good friend and get drunk, then let all your true feelings about her come to the surface.

    Cheers!

    I'd say OP you should probably go for yellow clothes in Mothercare because its too early to tell if its going to be a girl or boy. Definitely buy some clothes though!

    Wow you a got a lot more from that post than i did.

    How is it a relationship problem if he is not ready for a child?

    Maybe they are not together that long, they could be still living with parents and could be too young to bring up a kid.

    There are a load of reasons whey he could be very worried.

    I suppose i don't but using a condom and being on the pill its highly unlikely that she is and your post would not help ease his worry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 633 ✭✭✭Tarakiwa


    WAY too soon to be worried!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,102 ✭✭✭RossFixxxed


    Stressing her unduly is going to delay things further possibly. Relax give it a bit of time. This happens us all at some stage! The odds are highly in your favour and it's hardly an exact science. Deep breath and let it go!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 716 ✭✭✭SarahJ

    damo9090: You may be right. I am not claiming to be 100% certain of this. But it seemed to me that the OP's reasons for worrying were not strictly rational, so I thought they could be emotional.

    It's good for the OP to get a wide variety of advice though. Thanks for pulling me up; I don't claim to be the all-seeing eye!

    Good luck

    OP don't worry about it, it's not clockwork it's the human body!!
