I had this same problem Last year. And on the same days of a month. I believe I was supposed to start my period on the 26th, but I haven't yet. I HAVE had sex. But we used a condom. On the :12, 14, and 19th. So I let there be a gap of 7 days before my period was supposed to start just in case, because I heard that sperm die within 5 days. I don't think I am pregnant, but I cannot help but worry. Like I said I've had this same problem before. Last summer my period was due on the 26th but then didn't come until the 30th, and I'd had protected sex then too. Is this just nerves and me worrying? Or is it a normal cycle change like it's transitioning to the beginning of the month? I need a reply asap, even if to just calm my nerves, please! :-(
Many women can set their clocks in accordance with their menstral cycle, but sometimes the cycle can get a little off track. Maybe you were ill or under the weather, maybe something is stressing you a bit, there are a few reasons why your period can be delayed but other times it just can't be explained at all, it just happens. Holidays are stressful in and of themselves and all the hustle and bustle can be playing with you.
If you are doing what your supposed to do to protect yourself from conceiving, then i would say that your late period is just a fluke thing.
Just ask yourself a question or two, did the condom tear or come off with withdrawl? Was the condom fresh and still within the experation date? Are the condoms kept in a room temperature environment, they should not be near heat or extreme cold, like left in the glove compartment of the car or kept in the wallet in the back pocket. Misuse of storage can comprimise the integrity of the condom and could render it useless.
I say that you should just relax and think about something else, once you take your mind off of what may be bothering you, you may be surprised to see that your period will show up.

Thank you for replying so fast! We actually went and bought the condoms(durex brand) and used them right afterwards. So they were within the expiration date and none of them broke during or after, etc. I actually have felt a bit under the weather and very stressed out. But I will take your advice and relax and just not think about it. Thank you very much for helping me put my nerves at ease for now :-)
You are very welcome, and please feel free to come back and let us know what's going on with you. Log in anytime, someone is always here to help you ;-)

Happy New Year
I have no idea how to thank you at all. I took your advice and my period came at like 4:20 pm later today. I was honestly so happy/emotional that I starting bawling haha. I'm just so relieved. I guess from now on I just need to stop worrying so much and just wait for it. I am a very safe person so I should be just fine. Thank you :-)
