Missing Period

Motley Crue

Really worried cause my girlfriends period hasnt come and shes late by about 2 weeks. That being said, shes under a lot of stress at the moment with exams, and shes not been eating and sleeping properly. Add that to the fact that she is trying to loose wait cause shes convinced for some stupid reason that shes fat, and as well as that, she has also missed them before due to stress and sometimes theres 5 weeks between her periods, which would only make her a week late yesterday as opposed to 15 days late.

We only had sex once in the last month, so it could only have happened then, and as far as im concerned i didnt ejaculate (because i think i would feel it) and we were both standing up at the time and we were using a condom, which (and i inspected it after we had finished just to be sure), did not break. Could someone please give me some advice because it just seems a little sureal and even though i dont think shes pregnant i do think shes doing her own body damage and im worried about her.

also, shes under stress cause of her family and shes not on the pill btw

I think she might have Secondary Amenorrhea but i dont think its pregnancy. at least i hope not and the evidence doesnt point to that!

You can talk about all the reasons why she may or may not be pregnant till the cows come home but the only way to know is to do a pregnancy test. Just pop into a chemist and get one, at least you'll know.

Try not to stress her out I had a similar thing about a year ago..well maybe less 3 weeks! It was all down to stress and having been worried about it only made it worse, she could take a pregnancy test like at least you'd know one way or the other and then you can decide what you want to do

Listening to the act as you describe it - it seems nigh on impossible that your gf is pregnant. Barring immaculate conception, I would put it down to the stress and not worry about it. Periods can be irregular due to stress, or other factors which knock the body's hormones out of sync. If you like take the pregnancy test for peace of mind.

Now - the pregnancy issue and your gfs management of her body are two different things.
If i were you I'd forget about the pregnancy (it sounds very very unlikely). Then calmly and carefully explain to your gf how you are worried about her physical well-being, citing the missed period as evidence.

all of that would delay a period
that said
as others have mentioned already, there is only one sure fire way of knowing, get a test kit in the chemist
nobody in here can tell if she's pregnant or not.

Bingo. My girlfriend was 4 weeks late when she was doing her Leaving.

She's female. A lot of them do this.

and as well as that, she has also missed them before due to stress and sometimes theres 5 weeks between her periods, which would only make her a week late yesterday as opposed to 15 days late.

Well there you go. You already have a possible cause and a proven history. It's probably just stress.

and we were both standing up at the time and we were using a condom, which (and i inspected it after we had finished just to be sure), did not break.

Standing up has no effect on whether you'll conceive or not. Neither does doing it in the bath.

Could someone please give me some advice because it just seems a little sureal and even though i dont think shes pregnant i do think shes doing her own body damage and im worried about her.

It's nice that you're worried about her. You don't say your age, but I'm guessing around 17? Try take her away for a weekend to a B & B when the Leaving Cert is over. Somewhere nice, just to chill out. If you can afford a sun holiday (and not a piss-up sun holiday), even better.
