Hello,


Stress can definately cause your period to get wacky. Since you are so late and tests were negative, you are probably not pregnant.


I would suggest that you use birth control like the pill or the depo shot so you will not have to worry.


Good Luck on your finals!

there is no way you could be 3 weeks late and not pregnant, you are way too young to be having sex, you should be totally embarrased.. although im not the one to say, i am 20 years old and 5 weeks pregnant :S anyways, i truly hope you are not pregnant and wish you the best of lucks..

Hello,


You are wrong. A women's period can be delayed because of stress, sudden weight change, PCOS or hormonal changes. There are women that can go for 60 or more days without a period and NOT be pregnant. YES, you can be 3 weeks late and NOT be pregnant.

I would suggest testing again and if you still dont have your period and the test is negative then go to your local planned parenthood and have a blood test done. If you test negative then you can ask them to put you on birth control if you want. Good luck with your exams and your period problems. If you are pregnant there is a teen moms board on here.

Stress could prevent your period from coming. Also, the more you think about being pregnant- the more your body will make you think you are. You could be.. You need to think about whether you put yourself in a situation and could be pregnant now, and if the answer is yes.. Wait a couple more weeks and take another PT.
