no period

[leanne2006]

i need your help guys....had unprotected sex (bad i know) about three and a half weeks ago. and was due on my period on 29th oct....it never came but i've had all the symptoms of it coming, but only ever getting very very small amount of leakage, i am normally very regular with my periods and they always last 5 days...i took two tests around my due date which were both negative!!! any advice....i think i'm in denial now.....could it be underlying worry that may have delayed my period!!!!

My goodness, what a question - "small amount of leakage" - enough info please! What you are trying to say is you had unprotected sex, now you think you could be pregnant, why did you not get yourself to the docs for the morning after pill? You are going to have to wait and see now, stress can delay a period, but you can also bleed (albeit scantily) if you are pregnant.

I think we can safely say that after 3 and a half weeks you're well out of the 72 hour window where the morning after pill could have worked!
It's probably down to worry - mines always late when I'm worrying about something.
There is a pregnancy test that can detect early pregnancy (first response?) so maybe try one of those - if not go to the doctors just to put your mind at rest.

MissT this girl has done 2 tests already, and my answer was that she knew she had taken the risk so why didnt she go to her docs and get the morning after pill - i never mentioned a 72 hour window....

yeah but what about the leakage - that's a worry . its worrying me, anyway !!

[Roughquest]

Chin chin Larkin ! Just make sure you carry a disposable mop around with you.....one could leak at any time really given all the holes there are in the human body - nose, front and rear bottom, ears, mouth, - even eyes have a habit of leaking don't ya know?

a test can still be negative around your due date.

Try taking a test now, the bleed could have been an implantation bleed.

Worrying about it will delay you period hon so try and relax.

Pregnancy tests can give a false negative but not a false positive.

As for Roughquests question about the morning after pill, don't know about your doctor but now that the morning after pill can be bought mine are reluctant to give you an appointment for it. And I don't know about anyone else but I don't often have a spare �25 to hand out for them over the counter.

[Roughquest]

AND MAKE SURE YOUR NEXT VICTIM WEARS A JACKET ! Then that will stop you worrying, save you the �xxx for the MAP, and the world will once again be a happy, sunny place.

Or even better, as my father always said "Keep your legs crossed".

I would repeat the test - some will gie you the correct result from day 1 of a missed period but not all of them - the symptoms of pregnancy are similar to premenstrual symptoms.
Also although the morning after pill is upto 72hrs its effective up to 5 days. The coil can be used as emergency contraception in the 1st 5 days and most people will fit it up to day 21 - its more effective than the pill method but not as available!
