Alright, my period is about 2 weeks late.

My last period was on the 21th of December. Ended the 26th/27th. I had unprotected sex (with withdrawl way before coming, even though I know there's still precum) on the 3rd of January. My period is always later than it is the previous month. But, this month, it hasn't come yet, and it's the 2nd.

How possible is it that I'm pregnant? (With those dates provided.)

And, if I am, when do you think it was concepted (is that the right word?) How pregnant would I be?

Also, I was sick, and had stress, so could that be a reason? .. Could drinking alcohol 3 times out of the month to point of very drunkness have an effect on my period?

I could just take a test, but want to ask questions, too. I had my blood drawn a week ago (for preg test, and other reasons).. so I hope it's negative!

If you had sex and you are not using a barrier method of contraception or on the pill or other hormonal contraception then you could be pregnant. Withdrawal method is not considered reliable. You are more likely to get pregnant closer to the middle of your cycle, but you can get pregnant any time in your cycle.

Well, if you have a "normal" 28 day cycle then your peak ovulation would be about day 14... but you are fertile for about 5-6 days before that (as sperm can live for quite some time inside you) and a day after. If your cycle started on Dec 21 then day 14 would be Jan 4 - so you had unprotected sex at the exact perfect time for conception.

If your cycle is a couple days longer, then you are still right in your fertile period. Basically, you are potentially fertile until 24 hours or so after you ovulate. Once the egg has entered the uterus unfertilized it won't be fertilized. But up until that time, you are potentially fertile.

Get thee to a doctor. Decide what you want to do if you are pregnant.

I sure hope you aren't pregnant if you've been drinking that much. I also sure hope you didn't realize you might be pregnant when you were drinking...

the 3rd is your likly ovulation date. You are very likly to be preagnant. Although, I am not a doctor, and it would be best to get a test. I would avoid alcohol and other drugs until you know for sure. Good luck to you!

I'm going through the same thing now, right down to the dates; and four urine test and a blood tests have shown I'm not pregnant. Apparently it is "normal" for your period to just not come, even after a long time of being regular. Kind of irritating!! I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to see if there's anything else going on, but it's probably just my body being contrary.

I have been told stress can affect your cycle, but everyone's different, and there are all different levels of stress. so it's hard to say. I don't think alcohol affects your cycle.

I would go to the doctor, just to know about the pregnancy. Better to know than not know.
