Help please....

Ok well my period is late, over a week late. Im really worried that i might be pregnant. Im going to go do a pregnancy test soon but i was just wondering if maybe there could be some other reason? I was ill a couple of weeks ago but it was only a cold, sore throat etc. My periods arent usually irregular so im getting worried! :frown:

To the girls: how late would your period have 2 be before u start to get worried?

Thanks!

you know if you took any medication or antibiotics it can interfere with the effectiveness of the pill dont you?

It could be anything. Have you been stressed recently? Worried? Been moving around a bit (uni perhaps?), on the pill? Or any other medication? change in diet? Lost weight, gained weight...?
I would be worried if I missed two consecutive periods probably. Sometimes I miss one and I don't really get that worried.
How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Do the test! If only to put your mind at rest more than anythin else. Do the test if there's the slightest possibility of pregnancy. Good luck xx

Well, there are various reasons as to why your periods can be late - stress, illness, etc. However, and I don't mean to sound patronising/ blindingly obvious by saying this, but only you know your own body, and these things vary from person to person: just trust your instincts and do the test.

All the best :smile:

Yeah mine wasnt drastic or anything so i guess it probably isnt that.
