My boyfriend and I recently decided to have sex. After he had his penis inside me for about fifteen to twenty seconds, I realized that it was a bad decision and made him pull out. Now my period isn't here yet. My period usually comes between the 8-12 of every month, but last month it came on the fourth, which was really weird for me. It is the fifth now, and my period isn't here yet. I have been really stressed out lately and recently got over the flu. Is that why my period is late? Is my period even considered late at this point?

Please help.

A 'normal' cycle is 28 days. 14 days of your body preparing for ovulation and implantation, then ovulation around the middle of your cycle and the last 14 days. These last days would be when a fertilized egg would implant in your uterus. Please remember though that 28 days is an estimate and your body might have shorter or longer cycles.
Yes, you could be pregnant. Even if the man withdraws before ejaculation there can be some leaking which could contain sperm, and it only takes one.
The worry (stress) over this situation as well as the flu or other illnesses can really mess up your monthly cycle.
It's hard to know from your note whether you are really late or just a few days late. If you don't start during this next week and esp. if you start noticing other signs, like nausea, you should probably by an over the counter Pregnancy test and see what happens.

Good luck and let me know how you are doing! Smile
