i'm not sure if this has been asked a million times before, but i didn't see it in any of the memories and even if there have been a few things about late periods recently i'm still curious...

i lost my virginity about two weeks ago or so, and was supposed to get my period the following weekend. i've been pretty stressed out about things and stuff, so i don't know if that could be the reason. being rational says that i couldn't be pregnant (a good 7 days post ovulation and condom usage with no breaking/leakage/etc...), but i can't help but be nervous.

anyway. basically i guess i'm wondering if simply losing my virginity could have an effect on my cycle and cause my period to come later than usual, or if i'm probably stressing for no reason.

thanks. please answer?

personally sex induces my period. but that stress girl, cut it out!! it makes it dely big time. just relax. you'll be ok.

yes, we don't think about how much stress affects us, but personally, every time i've been stressed about my period being late, it's only caused it to be later.

if you're really nervous, pick up a pregnancy test. i've always found that i start my period about 10 minutes after taking a pee test. go figure. :P

anyway, best of luck to you babe.

I honestly have no response since I am unsure myself. I usually just lurk here at the hut, but I'm just glad you posted this question since I was wondering the exact same thing right now. (except I've been on Desogen since Feb. and haven't used a condom ... but the 2 weeks is right)

So, I'm also thankful for any response. Everyone here is so great and I always learn a lot. :)

being nervous about it and waiting only makes it later.
i know this is no help but try to relax. you used a condom and it didn't break. you're fine!
take an otc pregnancy test even just to calm you down, honey, if you're really concerned. often girls stress so much about it and it doesn't show up and then they take the test, it's negative, and 5 min later, guess who's there?

thanks.

i was thinking of trying the parsley tea thing, but i didn't know if that'd have adverse affects if i WERE pregnant, however unlikely it'd be.

it's so funny though, because every time i go to the bathroom, i'm like "OOH! maybe it's starting! maybe it's going to!" and it hasn't yet. i really need to forget about it. i decided that if i don't have it by the end of the week, i will get a test. any recommendations?

i totally know what you're talking about... i'm waiting, too, right now ;) but it could still show up today... then it wouldn't be late.

sorry, i'm german so i can't recommend any tests for you. but i hope these links help you some:
