Too early for a missed period?

Hi! I'm new to the board and have a question. My period is now a week late, however the last time I had intercourse was February 2nd (protected but the condom broke). I am of course worried, but didn't expect to miss THIS period. Is one week too soon to miss a period? I have always been regular, this being the first time I've ever missed a period. I am planning to test on Thursday but have gotten so nervous I just needed to ask! Thanks for any answers or advice anyone can give me :-)

Hi there....welcome to the board! I think if you're a week late, you should be able to test today and get an accurate result. They're very sensitive and can sometimes give you and accurate result the day before your period is even due. Good luck!! Let us know how you're doing... :)

this kinda happen to me! my last period was september 6th of 2006. my husband and i had unprotected sex about 5 times after my period was over and on october 6th i was about 2 wks pregnant from conception (about 4 wks from last menstral period). you might be pregnant, but you need to consider the facts: have you ever been late before? if so how long?, Do you have a regular period once a month and is it a normal flow? The only time i was late was when i started on birth control and when i got off of it. And the only time i missed a period completely was when i found out i was pregnant!

NOTE: if you do take an at home test, and the "lines" are really faint for a positive result, your probably barely pregnant maybe like 2 wks. most women dont find out until they are about 2 to 3 months!!! Btw i found out at 8 wks that i was having twins. im due june 14th!!
