I am a wreck...I don't know how I'm going to get through work today! My bf left for Mexico last Saturday night...we had sex before he left, and we were out of condoms so he pulled out...stupid stupid I know...I would give anything to go back and change that!!! I was supposed to get my period on Thursday and it's been very regular the past few months. I still haven't got it. I felt like I was having PMS all week though! I had a physical done on Friday, he said to come in for a pregnancy test if my period got to be 2 weeks late, or to try a home pregnancy test. He also gave me Alesse, which I am supposed to start taking today, but I'm not going to b/c I have to see if I get my period or not!!! I also had to take a pill for a yeast infection.

My bf gets back tonight...I know that there's a good chance I could be pregant, so that's not what I'm asking...I just need some support I guess. I'm so scared and upset....I just want to get my period...God I'll never complain about it again! I should have started the pill sooner. :( Sorry for going on like this, I just don't know what to do...

It was a stupid thing to do but hey i used to do that as well.. I feel bad for you..especially after the yeast infection..If you are gettin the symptoms then there is a good chance that your flow will come...Please just try and relax..The stress might be just putting it off...Hugs Hugs Hugs...im here if u need to chat or vent out or anything...or if you have msn messenger u can get me there at ice2244@hotmail.com or on yahoo at iceladybluebear Please just try and be calm!!

Sometimes periods are late for their own reasons.....

Hey ladies...thank you so much for your supportive comments :) Great news! My period came right before my bf got home...so I didn't have to tell him "There's a chance I could be..." of course I told him what I'd been going through the past couple of days, and he felt horrible that I had to go through that alone. And of course we're going to be a lot more careful now, and I'm starting the pill next Sunday. What a relief...I had a such a stressful and busy day at work, combined with worrying about not having my period...what a great night it was, coming home, no more worrying, and seeing my bf! :) The thought that I could be pregnant though has changed my outlook on life and there's definitely a lot of things that are not to be taken for granted. Anyway... thanks again for the support!!!
