Alright, this is all new to me. This is my only source, i cant go to the doctor because im only 17, and i always go to the doctor with my mum. If i went without her she would be suspicious, and ask a million questions. Plus, she doesnt even know i've had sex. I really need help.
On January 2, my boyfriend and i had sex unprotected for the first time ever, i was quite literally shocked and scared. The next morning i took the morning after pill - this was my first ever time taking it. About 4 - 5 days later i started bleeding which lasted about 4 days, (i also got cramping, which i have never before experienced with a period). My period date is usually between the 19 - 23rd of the month, in December my period came as usual. Only, its now the 12th of February and there is no sign of a period. Im starting to really stress. I have taken a home pregnancy test, in which came back negative. But the stress is starting to take over me. i cant sleep at night, this is all i can think about, plus im not eating properly. Please help me to atleast feel reassured.

Hi I need some help. im 21yrs old and had sex for the first time.. my last period was in february the 24th , i had unprotected sex on the 17th of march and then on the 18th i had taken a morning after pill.. I had unprotected sex again on the 22nd my bf used the pull back method or something to that effect but i know something could have gone wrong .i never take a morning after pill again. now my period is 5 days late. my tummy feels a bit sore now and again as if im getting my period but nothing has come..ive abstained from having sex for the fear of getting pregnant and i hope my fear doesnt develop into a reality after this i will abstain for the next 21years .. could you kindly tell me whats the possiblity of me being pregnant and when will be an appropriate time to take a preg test if i dont get my period.. or what time frame of me not getting my period should i worry ? as i have read that those morning after pills delay your period. thank you for your time. STRESSED
