Missed period - not pregnant!

[mk111dx]

Hey all! It is comforting to know that other have been going through the same thing!
I'm 19, going to be 20 in July and I lost my virginity on February 29th going into March 1st. I don't want to even say it was "actually" sex, as it was very brief and somewhat awkward. Ever since then, I've had 3 "periods" all of which have been extremely light, almost nonexistent. I've taken 4 (yes, 4) home pregnancy tests, 3 of them I took nearly 2 months after the actual act. All of them negative. I've have been completely stressed and anxious about the possibility of pregnancy even though all my tests are negative. I've also had a pelvic exam since then and the doctor didn't see anything wrong. I've had no symptoms of pregnancy besides nausea which is because of my anxiety. Could this all be just because I've been SO worried, stressed, and anxious about being pregnant?

Hi:

I'm 46 and experiencing missed periods or very long drawn out ones with lots of clotting...ladies we are all going through this together, i's peri-menopause!
The link below lists 35 symptoms and everyone here has at least one or more, so see your doctor to be sure, but my guess, it's just another stage of life as a women we are graduating into!

Embrace menopause...no more periods! YAY! ( funny my 10 year old daughter is on the brink of joining the "Woman's club" and I'm on my way out of that circle! Such is life!

[at my wits end]

My entire life my cycle has been like clock work, 28 days, however over the past couple of months this has changed.
In June it was 29 Days, July 30 days, August 29 days and now September I am on day 31 and still waiting. My last period was very painful, I had severe cramping and felt very ill. It only lasted two days, I went and saw the gynae and he said that everything seemed to be in order. This month I did not experience any of the PMS symptoms that I have felt over the past couple of months, I usually get sore swollen breasts, backache, sugar cravings and moodiness for about a week before I come on but this month only on day 30 did I start feeling pain in my breasts and a little bit of cramping. Now day 31 my breasts are still sore and I have mild cramping. Could this all be hormonal? Could folic acid have reduced PMS symptoms as I started taking it just over a week ago?

I am over 2 weeks late on my period and i'm not sure why.
I have recently changed schools and i am under a lot of pressure right now, however I have not had sexual intercourse but i have done other things.
I have heard everything from 'you can get pregnant from mutual genital touching' to 'you can only get pregnant from having sex.'
What is the truth?
As a 16 year old who doesn't want to tell her parents i need some help as i have never been this late before

I've skipped this period for certain, and I'm fairly sure I'm not pregnant (the last time I had sex was about a year ago, and all I have done since is fool around once or twice, as in handjobs etc- each time fairly careful not to contaminate...). My cycles are irregular, I've been plotting them on a calendar since Feb '10 and they look like this in terms of cycle length: 28, 29, 23, 31, 38, 25, 25, 27, 26, 28, 23 and now on 47. At which time I'm assuming I've skipped the entire thing. I'm still harbouring small pregnancy fears (only because in the past I have been completely consumed with grief and worry about the possibility, and any form of sexual activity makes me terrified) even while I know they are irrational- but I haven't worried myself enough to really make it change.

I haven't been abnormally stressed. I've put on a little bit of Chrissy weight but nothing out of the ordinary. I haven't travelled/exercised more than usual/eaten anything different/been sick. I do have highly irregular sleep patterns (frequently staying up until 4am getting work done before sleeping until 1pm or similar), but this hasn't changed. I'm not on the pill, I haven't taken the morning after pill or any sort of contraceptive at all. I do not take any antibiotics, or drugs (legal or illegal). I do drink wine, in a normal amount that hasn't really changed, I don't smoke. I am vegan, but I haven't changed my diet for a long time (several years) and I take all the necessary supplements. I'm 20 and I've been having my periods since I was 14- they have always been fairly irregular, painful and blah (I had an ultra sound for the pain I was having during highschool years, but they saw nothing wrong with me and just prescribed me stronger painkillers which I no longer feel the need to take). I missed my periods for several months at that age, but I have never skipped a period since.

I went through over the top PMS-ish symptoms, including terrible moodswings, before the skipped period and have had continually fairly awful skin (for me) since the symptoms, but I think it may also be the hot Australian summer weather. Or perhaps a hormonal problem? I'm suffering from occasional pains in my abdomen (I think this may be a combination of things though, and I'm prone to stomach pains) and have a couple of other aches and pains that I personally don't think are related.

While I'm trying to remain calm, it has me awfully freaked out. I don't really want to visit the doctor/ob gyn. Any idea as to what the hell might be going on? Anyone suffering from the same crap?

Darl,
To get pregnant, the sperm must come into contact with one of your eggs. If you haven't had sex but there has been mutual genital touching there is still a possibility (although it's a lot smaller). The possibility occurs when the boy touches himself when there is sperm (or pre-ejaculatory fluid, the stuff that comes out early on before he comes) and then touches you. If there is a chance that sperm can get inside of you, then there is a risk. And vice versa, if you touch him and then touch yourself there is a risk.
If, however, your hands were on him, and his were on you, and you didn't play both teams- you are fine. Or if you washed your hands afterwards before touching yourself. Or if he was wearing a condom while you touched him (recommended) there is even less of a risk.
I hope this helps. Please don't stress yourself out, it'll all be okay. It's natural and a learning curve, but be safe always.
JJ.

hi i am 21 years old and was diagnosed with Poly Cystic ovaries about a year and a half ago due to irregular periods, they ranged from twice monthly to 3 months gap but at the moment i am still waiting for my next one and have been waiting for 5 months now me and my hubby are trying for a baby but it just isn't happening
my last period was October 24th 2010 but even that was weird it was incredibly heavy and painful , it lasted 6 days and the period before it was incredibly heavy and painful oh yeah and was the week before! Over 14 days i had 1 day off smack bang in the middle . i am kinda scared it's the menopause and i have hot and cold flushes in the night and have been told that is a syptom of the menopause, i am only 21!! has anyone had anything like this?? i have an appointment at the docs in a few days so hopefully she'll be able to tell me what is wrong!! oh and i know i not pregnant as 6 home tests and 2 doctors tests and a blood test have confirmed i not (unfortunately!!)

Hi everyone. I realise I'm posting this quite a bit later than the rest of you... but maybe someone can let me knwo how their situation ended up.

I am now 5 days late. About a week and a half ago I was experiencing all the normal PMS- cramping, emotional, bloated, gassy, etc. Five days ago, when I was expecting my eriod, it all stopped. I'm still bloated and I'm having very very slight cramping here and there. I'm scared to take a pregnancy test, but if I don't start bleeding soon, I think I'll have to. My boyfriend and I did have unprotected sex a few times this past month... but I made sure it wasn't around my ovulation time, and he always pull out before coming. I'd be suprised if I am pregnant, because we've been way less safe before and still came out okay.

It's possibelt that the delay is being caused by the amount of stress in my life... work has been rough and I just finished up my finals week at school. I'm just really really scare and I'm hoping and praying that it will come soon.

PS: About two weeks ago I got my thrid Gardasil shot. I don'd know if that means anything, but I figured it's worth metnioning.

I have been running up to 5 mi a day for the past 2 weeks, now I'm missing my period. I'm 14 and a virgin. Is the reason I'm missing my period because I'm running?
