Dan, in your honest opinion - with all being said, do you think there's a chance? I mean if we don't have sex this month - it could simply be late.
She has started eating healthier...for he past week or so. She never eats veggies and started taking multivitamin supplements as well as small servings of veggies - this could definitely affect her cycle no?
If we were to take a test when would it be?
No sex = no pregnancy. I don't think she's pregnant. She had a normal period last month, no spotting this week to indicate implantation.
Healthy woman can be late or miss a period.
Wait until when she's usually due, then take a test. It's the only way to know. If she still hasn't had her period about 7-10 days AFTER she was due, the test again. If still nothing, she should see her doctor.

From a medical perspective - you think im in the clear?
Do you think that a test is necessary?
I don't think she needs to test unless her period is very late. Since it is usually around the 20th, I'd wait at least until then and then probably even a week after before I'd worry.
If you didn't have sex you're in the clear.

Dan, do you think I'm just overreacting? The September period can't be a implantation bleeding right? If it was she'd be experiencing symptoms now - which she isn't.
This is the first time it's late so that's why I'm super worried
There is a big difference between a period and implantation bleeding, if she gets it. It is very very light, she won't need a pad.
There often aren't many symptoms, except for a missed period, until a few months along. That's when the morning sickness usually starts.
You said she's not due until the 20th, so wait until then.
What's your first name? Please, try to relax. At this point, regardless of what happens, you can't do anything to change it. Once we know more, then we can deal with whatever may happen.
I still don't think she is pregnant.

Call me Dean.
I'm nervous and it's causing her to stress, which in turn can affect her cycle. She's always around toddlers so it could contribute to her stress.
Dan, I'm just very anxious about this. It's never happened before and we're both young. We didn't have sex - that's what I keep saying to myself. But if all was okay - then the period should have come by now.
I honestly don't think she's pregnant either - but this entire event is scaring me. I don't know what to do.
Thanks Dean.
Of course you're nervous. I would be surprised if you weren't. It's just that if you didn't have sex since her last normal period, it is very unlikely that she'd get pregnant. Lots of things, including stress, can make her period late. It should happen soon from what you've said.
She can test anytime but its more accurate after her period is due.
I don't think she's pregnant but if she is, you can't control what has already happened. I can understand you're scared, I was scared when my wife told me she was pregnant. I didn't know how I'd take care of a baby, but I did and my son is almost 19 now.
You will get through this, no matter what happens. You may have to change some plans but you don't have to give them up. You can still do everything you want, you just may need to work a bit harder doing it. Right now, be strong, for your girlfriend. If, and I still don't think it'll happen, if she is pregnant, you need to be there for her, not freaking out.
You have been having sex. You knew what might happen. You're not a kid anymore.
Be strong.

Thank you, honestly.
I've been really on the down and outs for the past three days and it has taken over my mood - it's all I think about for the last few days. The last time we had sex was probably in the transition between August and September, if something happened then - wouldn't her period not have happened in September? (I'm only saying this so I can understand everything)
I know for a fact that this has never happened to us and we're so scared of what could possibly happen.
If we were to test - when should we test? Around the beginning of November?

Is there any way for a period to come faster? Drinking certain things, eating etc?
I'm so scared. Never have been this scared until now.
She would not have had a normal period in September if she was pregnant before that. Once you are pregnant they stop. There might be some spotting, but its not the same as a normal period.
Wait until at least the 20th, her normal time. Then test. If she still hasn't had her period by 7-10 days later, retest. If still nothing, and testing negative, she should see her doctor to find out why it is late.
Nothing will speed up her period.

What could have possibly happened between the two dates then?! I'm so frustrated..
I'm trying to keep the best composure I can - but It's not working.
This has never happened at all.
In the past, about a year or so ago - she took a plan B pill before which kinda made her cycle a bit different just for awhile...but then readjusted back to around the 20th...
That could be an explaination?
I'm sorry if I'm burdening you - I just want her period to come now so that this anxiety can go away.
Nature happens. Sometimes it just happens and there is no explanation why her period is late.
Yes, Plan B can change the timing but, it does usually return to normal.
You're not a burden. I'd wish I could do more.

But your verdict is : not pregnant right?
from a medical perspective, I'd take it - If you mean it.
Maybe At work you can ask your colleuges about my situation - a fertility spec if you can.
I'm sure it's nothing - reassurance is what I need.
Not pregnant. You didn't have sex since her last normal period.
At this point there is nothing really to ask my colleagues. We all KNOW that sometimes periods are late without explanation.

I understand - only if you can though, just reassurance.
I admire your confidence and formality - I wish I had traits like yours.
Thank you, so so much. You're a Godsend.
