i am newly sexually active. meaning, about 2 weeks ago i had sex for the first time, around the time i normally would ovulate, which makes me feel very stupid except for the fact that i know that he didn't come inside me, and we used a condom to go with.
and since having a baby willingly is not something that is a good idea at the moment (i'm out of work, live with my parents and my boyfriend works but still lives at home too)and for our ages (19 and 22), i've been kinda stressing that i could be pregnant. and now my period is late. four days or so. i've been dealing with all sorts of problems with my parents and i'm stressed about my lack of job.
last month my cycle elongated just slightly, and for the most part i am regular like clockwork. could the three panic attacks yesterday along with all the stress and mind games be to blame for the MIA period? or should i go ahead and test to be sure?
my best friend told me that i'm more than likely not pregnant because i'm not dealing with breast tenderness or anything. only symptom... MIA period.

If your boyfriend used a condom then your chance of pregnancy would be small, but it's certainly a possibility. I have a friend who got pregnant even though her boyfriend was using a condom. I would definitely suggest that you take a pregnancy test. I doubt your pregnant, but it would put your mind at ease which might help bring on your period.
If this makes you feel any better, when I had sex for the very first time (many years ago..lol) my period was late and I freaked out thinking I was pregnant even though we had also used a condom. I went to a crisis pregnancy center and took a test and it came back negative and the next day I started my period.
Good luck to you!
