Another dumb late period thread

LegacyUser

Hi,

Now I am really only doing this to alleviate my nerves but am slightly worried about being pregnant. Last month my period was a bit funny, its started on 24/07/09 but it was really only a brownish discharge until 28/07/09 when a proper bleed started which lasted about 3 days. My periods are normally very short so a short bleed is fine but I am never delayed at all so am wondering about the discharge thing. At the moment I am trying to work out if I would have been due on 22/08/09 or this Wednesday (26/08/09) instead. I did a test and it was negative but I am still feeling nervous. I have the usual period symtoms, lower back pain, sore boobs and a swollen belly but these are what you when you are are pregnant.

I have had sex a couple of times in the last month but it was protected and my b/f didn't come inside me at all (I mean with a condom on). Am I worrying about nothing? I can't go on the pill at the moment and have heard nothing but bad stories about other methods so every month I am going through this worry.

The first day of your period is considered to be the first day you get the red, red blood. So the start date last month was 28th July.

The lead in with the brown stuff last month sounds like a slightly messed up lutal phase in the last cycle. If you like you could start on some B vits which should sort it out and prevent it happening again.

If you have had a neg test that is great. What length is your cycle normally?

Is this a typo or do you actually mean that he didn't come inside you, even with a condom on?

If your bf was wearing a condom AND pulled out before he ejaculated, the chances of you being pregnant are pretty much zero.

If you weren't using condoms at all, and your bf pulled out before he ejaculated, there is a chance, albeit very small, that you could be pregnant.

If your period is due, you can take a test and it should give you a real result. Don't forget that stress and worry can delay your period as well!

It is normally exactly 28 days. But I suppose when I think about it, it has occasionally been a bit shorter or a day or two late when I wasn't sexually active. But sure then I wouldn't be worried about it, it probably is more stress then anything.

My boyfriend always wore a condom and he would come in my mouth or on my belly etc as I think it lessens the chance of pregnancy again. He's got OCD so it helps calm his nerves too.

I think you should be fine .......fingers crossed, if he never came in you all should be well.

Try not to worry as Shellyboo said, worrying itself can delay it!

All the best!
