    Failed Birth Control

    So I am a sexually active person, and I am very sensible about it, I always use protection no matter what, but I'm worried that it's not always effective. Every time i have had sex I have always used a condom, but last time there was a problem. I am 23 days late so far on my period and me and my boyfriend are now thinking that the condom may have split, but at the time we weren't paying it that much attention and may not have noticed. I am not sure if I'm just very late, or I might be pregnant, but either way I have no idea what to do about it. Help?

    Condoms are not 100% effective. And I'm going to assume you are not on any birth control.
    What I would suggest is picking up a home pregnancy test from the store and seeing what it says.
    But don't panic, there are many other reasons you might be late. A change in diet, stress, lack of sleep...many things can affect your cycle.

      What day did your last period begin?

      Do you have any idea when you ovulated?
