    HELP! I am so confused!?

    I have always been "overly safe" about sex with my boyfriend. my future and his are too important to screw up. Every time that we have had sex he would wear a condom and would pull out before he finished. The condoms never once broke or leak out, so I figured everything was 100% okay.

    Before, we used to do it only once or twice a month, but the past month it was more like 6 times, all of which involved condom, pull out, and no spill.

    Also, within the past month my boyfriend and I had VERY rocky and emotional month, having almost broken up many a time (which is nont normal for us)

    .... I was supposed to start my period 3 days ago, and I still have no indication that I will have one.

    I went an bought a preganncy test and it said that I am not pregnant, PLUS, I have absolutely NO idea how I could be!?


    Please help me out here... Im freaking out from confusion.. :/

    Stress can cause your cycle to be off. You took the test, you are fine. Try and relax, hopefully you will start soon.

      Sigh.. I hope so. But what if it was from having sex a week ago but it isn't enough to show up on the test?.. How long do you think it could take to get my period?

        Buy some ginger root, make some tea from a couple of slices, that should get things moving.

          Count 14-16 days from the first day of your last menstrual cycle. That is when you would have been ovulating. Chances are if you were supposed to start you period yesterday, today, tomorrow, more than likely you weren't ovulating last week. Having sex WITH a condom AND pulling out last week, probably didn't result in you being pregnant.

          Again, you need to relax, calm down, take a deep breath. The more you stress, the more likely your period is going to be late.
