okay let me explain. i am late for my period, but i don't remember having sex with anyone. i went to a party and i had gotten so drunk i dont really remember what happened that night. the reason i go back to that night is because that is one of the only points on time i can remember not remembering anything if that makes any sense. so my main questions is has any of u guys ever experienced that before and if so what did u do?

My advise if you have no memory of having sex or not and you feel it is a possibility (even if it is a slight possibility), make an appt with an ob/gyn and get checked out for pregnancy, but also make sure he/she tests you for STDs.

Did "us guys" ever experience what? Getting so drunk we didn't remember what we'd done? No, I never did, and I think if I were your friend, I'd advise you to get some help with your drinking problem. Are you aware that if you get so drunk you black out, a few MORE drinks might kill you? As you were advised, you should see your gyno & be checked for pregnancy and STD's.....and be more responsible in the future. Your life is at stake.

I've always known when I've had sex. But, if you are that unsure, take a home pregnancy test. Also, has there been a lot of stress in your life lately. Stress and and anxiety can cause chaos with your cycle. How late are you? Even if it's a few days, a pregnancy can show positive it that's why you are late. Also, are you using any kind of birth control, if so, have you recently changed your birth control. There can be several reasons why you are late. I would be more concerned with the fact that you don't remember if you had sex or not.

Take a pregnancy test and then start thinking about your drinking. I'm not saying that you have a drinking problem at all. I know that when you are young and out partying, people can tend to drink to much. But, you definitely don't want to have this kind of experience again, right? Also, if you think you may have had sex with someone, I would go get tested for STD's.

i dont drink a lot but when i do drink i do tend to go overboard. and i know that is a problem. and that is something i am trying to correct. as far as me blacking out i don't black out it just takes me a few weeks to remember what happened. as of today i have come on my period, but saying that i still have made an appointment with my gyno. so i thank u all for your concern. and i have addressed the issue of my drinking with my family and they think i should seek help and i am seriously taking up their suggestions. because family means the most to me.

Glad you started your period. Congrats on getting help with the drinking.

Also, BTW, not remembering is blacking out. It doesn't matter if you remember a few weeks later. If there is a time period when you can't remember due to drinking, you've had WAY WAY WAY too much alcohol and blacked out.
