I'm so pleased to have seen this page. I'm 23, not on the pill but my boyfriend and I use condoms every time and are careful with them. My period is about two weeks late and I've just (about 10 minutes ago) done a test which came back negative. I've never been so scared in my life, I'm lucky my OH was with me the whole time. I've been really emotional the last week, even had cramps and back pain but no period! I'm glad to see this is somewhat normal. I guess we all need to relax a bit, eh? I'm doing a postgrad course at uni and have been taking it hard on myself so I guess I'll try to chill out a little. I'm going back on the pill too. 98% sure with condoms isn't enough for me anymore!
Anyway, it's wonderful to hear from other women of all ages describing a similar experience. I hope that you ladies who want to be pregnant conceive really soon. Mumof2, I found myself REALLY stressed out and upset the past few days, so much so that I've had real difficulty keeping food down and have been totally obsessing over it. Please try not to worry, as it creates a vicious cycle of hormones shooting around your body. If you've done that many tests there's almost no chance you're pregnant. Best.
Hi i'm now 38 years old and nineteen months ago I gave birth to my son (my last child) since then my husband has had a vasectomy and we have had the all clear on that, every thing was fine and I soon went back to having regular periods every 28 days, Now all of a sudden I'm late (10 days now) Ive done all the usual things pregnacy tests two up till now both came back negative, Ive been to see a doctor and was told not to worry it's proberly stress related, However not having a period has really upset me as I am beginging to think there is something seriously wrong with me, I am very emotional and cry a lot as the thought that I mcould be pregnant again is very hard to take in even though both the test ive done came back neg, Is there anybody out there that has been though something similar and could offer any words of comfort or advice
Rosie thank-you for your words of comfort, I found it very comforting to know that there is someone else out there that is or has felt very emotional over this, However I have still not had a period and I am now 3weeks late getting it, Try as I might I cannot seem to stop stressing about it, and to make me feel even worse friends are always joking that I could be starting on the change (menopause)but at 38 surely thats still too young?, Ive spent a fortune on pregnancy testing kits (4 now) all have which have given me a negative result, My next period should be due either on or around the 27th February, if this one fails to arrive as well then I shall be taking myself for a visit back to the doctors, hopefully they might be able to help and shed some light onto the possible reasons why this is happening. I will inform this site how I get on, In the mean time Ive got to try and stop stressing and take it easy and try to chill and hopefully my periods will return.
