My b/f and i had sex on March 10 & on March 17. i was supposed to get my period on March 16. i still haven't gotten it. my b/f used condoms both times and there were no rips in them when he 'pulled out.' i have some of the symptoms of being pregnant. AM I????? please help. i will rate high for great responses.
That being said, it is still a possibility so it's best that you do a test and make sure. However, I would recommend that rather than doing this test alone, you see your GP. Although it's unlikely you're pregnant, there are a great number of possible other reasons why you haven't had your period and it's a good idea you see your GP to make sure nothing else is wrong.
Don't worry, you will be fine and on a side note, I would recommend that if/when you see your GP, you also get yourself started on The Pill. Condoms are only around 93% effective as contraception but The Pill is around 99.9% effective. If you want to be extra careful, you can do what the Dutch people call "Going Double Dutch" and use both condoms and The Pill. That way, you know you're covered.

sizzlinmandolin answered Monday March 20 2006, 11:02 pm: You're probably fine. If your cycle is following a normal schedule you would have been able to get pregnant closer to the beginning of the month. You can miss your period for reasons other than being pregnant. If you don't get it in the next week take a home pregnancy test just to make sure and hopefully put you at ease. A pregnancy test won't work until 2 weeks after you have sex, so getting one now is a waste. It's going to say you're not pregnant even if you are. I wish you luck! :)

sweetie4eva710 answered Monday March 20 2006, 10:23 pm: if u used a condom and checked it then your probably not pregnant. i think your scaring yourself out of having your period. i used to do that all of the time and i think now would be to early to be having sypmtoms of pregnancy. im pretty sire it paranoia. to be safe side get a pregnancy test when time and next time fill the condom with water after finished and dry off the outside and see if there are any small leaks in it and look into birth control to be on the safe side. hope everything works out for the best for you.

TheOldOne answered Monday March 20 2006, 10:20 pm: There's no way for us to know. If the condoms were used correctly, probably not. You could be having a late period because of stress; and the other systems could easily be psychosomatic.
