Missed/late period...is it pregnancy?

Hi - wondering if anyone has advice/info for me?

My last period started on 12/16. I was expecting to get it again around 1/13 but it never came. I did not have sex between those dates.

Then I had sex on 1/18 (with a condom, I am not on birth control) and have STILL not gotten my period since December. I am wondering if I am pregnant, but my period was late to begin with. I don't know if taking an at home pregnancy test would even be effective yet? I am really worried.

Have you been stressed lately? I went without a period for 2 months- Nov and Dec- but I just got mine a few days ago now. I know that stress, even when you say you arent stressed out, can make your period late. Even you thinking that you are pregnant can sometimes trick your mind and body into not having a period. If you are at all concerned take a test, though you said that you didnt have sex in between periods. If it is negative and you dont get your period in Feb I would retest then follow up with your doctor. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I have been sort of stressed lately and all of this thinking that I could be pregnant is making me even more stressed out. I just can't seem to stop thinking about it! I think I am going to take a home pregnancy test this week and see what happens...

Did you ever end up finding out? I think I'm in the same boat you're in. It's 2 and a half weeks since I should have had my period. Took a pregnancy test and it came out negative, but still no period :-(.
