This isn't the 1st time I've had a pregnancy scare and am seriously thinking of giving it up 'til I get married to avoid the so far false and self-inflicting scares, though I'm sure a lot of people would think I should have done that to begin with but still..
I'm 19 years old and it used to be that the latest I had been was 6 days, last month I was a full week late. By late I mean for ex: My period in May started the 8th, in July it started either the 15th or 16th I honestly can't remember well, though I'm saying the 15th and that would be 7 days late. The month before that I was 4 days late. I'm almost to that point again of being a full week late and the last time I can remember having protected sex was July 4th and even if that's wrong there's no way we had sex past the 6th, my boyfriend always wears condoms and during the past 3-4 months we've only used condoms with spermicide.
Usually I'd range on average 2 days late to 5 days.
I've heard of possible early symptoms but I'm afraid I'll just confuse them with possible PMS symptoms. I think I am getting very slight cramping, but again I don't want to confuse.
By when, if I am pregnant, should I stop expecting my period to begin? I've been 5,6,even 7 days late and I know that I can only be late for so long before it's pretty much that inevitable result.
How long is that? (give or take)
Thanks in advance.
