16/f
i know sometimes people get tiring of asking these types of questions.. but i have to know to relieve my mind. no, at the moment i don't have enough money to buy a pregnancy test. but my period is supposed to come between december 29 - janurary 5 because my period is pretty irregular and whenever my period last started and ended is where it's supposed to be between ever time i start. yes, me and my boyfriend did have sex, safe sex. we checked the condom during the sex, and after the sex, we also change it if it feels weird. i asked him a whole bunch of times if i was pregnant and if he was sure, he said he was 100% positive, and the stuff on him was from me.. but it's bothering me that my period still hasn't came yet. i may have gotten him scared too, but he still said he's 100% sure i'm not. is it probably my diet change would that still skip a month or something?

And periods can be late--or sometimes we can skip a month entirely--for reasons other than pregnancy, like stress (which is sucky, because stressing out about whether or not you're pregnant can make you skip a period). As long as you used the condom correctly, it didn't tear or slip off, etc., then they're 98% effective, so...there's really not much of a pregnancy risk here.
With that said. Pregnancy tests are supposed to be effective shortly after you miss your period (not any time before--even if you had the money to get one, if you tested now, you could get a false negative). So IF it gets to the 5th (and I'd probably wait a few days afterward just to be sure, since you said your cycle is pretty irregular) and you still haven't gotten your period, save up your money and go buy a pregnancy test. It's the only way to be sure.

I'm pretty sure you're not pregnant. There is a .01% chance of getting pregnant with the use of condoms, and that's only if there's a tear in the condom, which you said there wasn't. So it's logical to assume you are not. ^_^ [ pseudophun's advice column | Ask pseudophun A Question ]

Okay, but anyway, periods don't always come when they are "supposed to". Your period actually starts when the blood lining starts to break down after it gets to the point where its supposed to stop collecting. Wait a few days, you might get it. A lot of times, what happens with me is is that sometimes my period actually won't come for two months. You should only be worried if it doesn't come for about 3 months. If your period is irregular, the patterns could've changed even more, so your period my be delayed. Hope I helped? [ TheRandomJuggalette's advice column | Ask TheRandomJuggalette A Question ]
