I am currently 2 weeks late and I'm nervous. My last period began on June 11 and ended on June 16. I have an irregular cycle... ALWAYS. I'm always usually between 5 days early to sometimes even 10 days late. The last time my boyfriend and I had sex where he ejaculated was either the last day or the second to the last day of my period. I forgot which day. I recently started working the week after my period ended, which requires me to wake up at 5:45 in the morning and go about my normal business after work and I usually don't get home til maybe 9:30 to 10:00 and sleep around 11:00 to 11:30, even on work days. Since I started work, my diet has changed because of how busy and tired I am. I barely get two full meals a day, never three. Sometimes even a half a meal to two halves a meal and a snack on most days. Yesterday morning while I was working, I went to the bathroom to find small spots of brown in my underwear. Then last night discovered pinkish blood and CM when I wiped, so I tried to push to see if more would come out and just a little more did. Then again that night I went to the bathroom before I showered and some pink CM dropped in the toilet. (it wasn't blood because it didn't dissolve in the water due to different densities, and all these instances of going to the bathroom aren't because I needed to urinate; it's because I was checking for my period). This morning, before going to and at work, I discovered absolutely nothing in my pad or when I wiped in the bathroom. (I hope the blood I did discover is not implantation bleeding as implantation bleeding usually occurs before or around the time of the expected period and I am over 2 weeks late). Now am I wondering if my period is going to come or not. Maybe about when I was already a week late, I started having light cramps and minor headaches; all very bearable. Don't know if that's due to my lack of sleep and/or eating or if they were simply symptoms of my coming period (because hopefully I'm not pregnant). And I'm curious as to whether my predicament lately (lack of sleep and eating) is the cause of my late/missed period or if I'm pregnant, and please don't let that be the case. I'm only 17. Any thoughts, comments, advice? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

Oh and to add, I've been taking vitamin C supplements for 2 days, prior to the discovery of the pinkish blood/CM, to induce my period, (so yesterday, the day of the discovery, I didn't take them, although they need to be taken continuously) and now I am continuing to take them again.

Because of your irregular cycle it is hard to conclude you are two weeks late.

You need to check with a home pregnancy test kit. It should be accurate by this time.

Implantation bleeding can occur at other times than what you listed.

A woman's fertile cycle begins about 7 days after the first day of menstrual bleeding. Sperm can live in the uterus for up to 5 days after sex with a fertile man. You would be possibly fertile on June 18th although ovulation is more likely near June 25th. If sex was on June 15th, his sperm could possibly live until June 20th. If sex was on June 14th, his sperm could possibly live until June 19th. There is a slight chance you could have become pregnant.
