Well, here's the deal.
I've had pretty regular periods for the past two years. My boyfriend and I started dating in July and I had not been sexually active for over a year before that. We started having regular sex and I remember freaking out about my period being late back then but I think it's only because I had a change in sexual activity and I was nervous about having unprotected sex.
My boyfriend and I went through a breakup recently. We weren't together for about three weeks. I had my period during the first week of October and it was normal. We got back together around the 16th and have been having sex pretty regularly since then. We have unprotected sex, using the pull-out method (I know it's stupid). He's very controlling about it though. He has never ejaculated inside of me before.
Every month I go through the same symptoms - I typically have some cramping during ovulation and then the rest of the PMS symptoms start a few days before my period. I'm a few days late now but I'm experiencing all the symptoms of PMS. However, I know that many PMS symptoms are also similar to those of early pregnancy. I have cramps in my lower abdomen (normal for me), slightly tender breasts (pretty normal as well), lower back pain (I have arthritis, so this is ALL the time, but it's worse during my period), fatigue (normal) and a little bit of bloating (also normal). I haven't spotted at all, I don't have naseau or morning sickness (I normally never have naseau during my period), and nothing else seems to be out of the ordinary. The only thing that hasn't come along yet is my monthly gift.
I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet because I'm too nervous and seriously hope that my period will come soon. I know that stressing out about it isn't going to help, but I can't really help it. I also have been on a strict diet lately and have lost about ten pounds this month so I thought maybe that could be delaying it as well? And I was wondering if this was because of the change in sexual activity again? I'm just not sure. I just want to know if I'm over thinking this whole thing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just wait it out..... if you are prego, there is nothing you can do for the time being, anyway. Pregnancy tests take what, 6-8 weeks to give a positive result? I bet you it is a combo of the diet and stress from the breakup. I do this all of the time and I always freak out and then 2 weeks later, I get my "monthly gift"- and truly consider it a gift!!!! Try not to stress, trust me, it delays it longer and you stress more. Maybe taking a pregnancy test will help, though, because it may ease your worries. Although, the statistics for using the pull out method are 1 in 4 per year get pregnant. That's a pretty high risk... use another form of birth control! I know birth control sucks, but it's better than having an unplanned pregnancy! Although I do not believe in abortion, come one- $10 bucks for a pack of condoms or $20 bucks for some birth control is much cheaper than a baby OR abortion. Hope this helps...

My period hasn't started as well after I was "playing" with my boyfriend. Theoretically, I know that there was no chance for me to be pregnant, but I was scared I need to admit.
Nothing was telling me that I am going to get it, I didn't have any signs, I didn't notice any PMS symptoms/ signs and I decided to do a pregnancy test.
I did two of them and both were negative.
I also gained some pounds, not much, but enough to notice them. That was weird to me but it I had some hormone issues and that was the main reason for this condition.
