Hi, i am really stressing here! basically, i had sex for the first time 3 weeks ago and i was due to come on my period on thursday. ever since i can remember, i have never skipped or had irregular periods, they have always been every 28 days. i took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative, thank god! i was wondering if anyone knew of why this could be happening, does having sex for the first time delay your next period or something? im very confused and beginning to stress a lot now. Pls Help!

Hey, I'm in you same situation. Well, in your past situation. I'm three days late and I had sex for the first time on the 16th of Feb. We used protection, but i'm just curious to know why I have not started my period yet. I have always been normal 26-28 cycle. I am curious to know if you did get your period or not?

2 things i know of could have happened. your mind could have been tricked, like thinking your pregnant so skipping your period, or the test was wrong.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

yea we used a condom and it didnt split, as far as i know. surely you would have seen if it did ? i understand about the irregular periods thing but it just seems really wierd that they've never been irregular before. maybe its my mind playing games with me.

k_c100 agony auntWell you have taken the pregnancy test and it is negative so you have nothing to worry about there. Hopefully you did use protection (if you didnt use a condom then you really should get an STD check and get to your doctors quickly).

Periods can be irregular for lots of reasons, stress often stops periods from arriving so I think the best thing you can do is stop worrying, stop stressing and relax. It will come along, but not until you stop worrying it!

Its only 3 days late, that isnt much at all. But if it has still not arrived about 1 week/2 weeks after you were due on then I would go to the doctors, they will be able to get to the bottom of it. It could be many things, from being underweight to stress.

Good luck and try not to worry!
