Its been eating me up for almost a week, the fact that my girlfriend has not had her period yet. I know i will get flamed and i deserve it. Just writing this is making me feel down. And i respect all the comments, be it negative or REALLY negative. I didnt use a condom, she didnt think she was ovulating, etc and ive was just stupid. But here it goes anyway.

Ive been w/ her 3 months and i got a call saying that she said she mightve missed her period. I was like, thats impossible, i was barely in her a minute before a pulled out because i wanted to be very safe. So we finished off not through that. that was over a month ago.

her period last month was on Jan 20. Its Feb 25 already. Should i really be worried? I did research and it might be late for other reasons but were about to purchase a test and try to see. Its been killing me in many ways, just thinking about it.

I am very prolife, catholic, etc and dont wanna resort to making a decision that serious, but i may just be wondering it too soon, when it may just be nothing. Perhaps any females wanna help posting about late periods? Were both getting more worried day by day but im not just gonna bail her. I wasnt looking for a one night stand.

But i need advice. she hasnt had any symptons per se... and im just worried cuz that how i always am. I never wouldve thought that i would be at this stage or situation... just 5 years ago i joined this board and was asking you guys about my first girlfriend. Now im asking for some wisdom. Just to say, we gave up sex for lent - 5 weeks worth. and we learned from this.

Words of wisdom?

 

Wow - Flashbacks a plenty.....No words of wisdon, just get a test. 5 days isn't that much if she is not that regular. Good luck.

 

Too much/too little body fat, stress or other things CAN contribute to a late or missed period. Personally she should have done the Plan B thing.

I'd hang tight before freaking out too much. Wait for more info.

 

hang in there another day or so.....

 

Maybe from now on you will go in the butt. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE GHEY TO LIKE BUTT SECKS.

 

Oh, i plan on using this experience to persuade her into trying anal.

But when is it right to use a preg. test? i saw it can be wrong provided it's too early...

 

Also, don't call her Shorty....

 

Read that one too... Im way ahead of you...

 

I agree with Whiskers and Ken1997TL. It's best to find out for sure before you jump to any unnecessary conclusions. It's going to be a rough time until you know whether or not your girlfriend is pregnant, but without knowing try not to assume the worst.

If she isn't pregnant, consider yourself lucky. The birth control method (in actuality nothing) you are using isn't safe, and if you continue to practice the same method she will eventually become pregnant. You're only seventeen and I suppose your girlfriend is close to same age. Her becoming pregnant at this time would most likely be very hard for you BOTH at this time.

She needs to confirm whether or not she is pregnant and take it from there.

All the best.

if she isn't preggers. don't jump without a parachute next time

 

I've been through this a number of times. Although I'm always safe my period is often irregular so I've had a few panics. When ever I have real stressful stuff going on my schedule gets all screwy.

You should get a pretty accurate reading if she takes the test now, its not too early.

 

Thats what i really needed. We will go test it now... Shes been pretty stressed and had some hard athletic workouts...

and that can change it up to. thanks for the advice

 

My wife, then gf, was so irregular I got this call about 4 times a year. Then the more worked up she got it just wouldn't come. Go get the test. You will know the truth in a few minutes.

 

dont be a jackass, if shes pregnant get rid of it, YOUR NOT EVEN 18 BRO.

Honestly, the thought of keeping it shouldnt enter your mind. You dont have a career, and you dont have money to raise a kid. and your not even out of HIGH SCHOOL.

You need to think long and hard about the kind of life YOUR kid will have if you decide to keep it.

dont even think about that: "im a man, i dont need help, i can do anything, i gotta man up for this" BULLSHIT, it will get you nowhere.

not trying to be a dick, just trying to be honest

 

^^ Just not his decision now. If she is pregnant then both of you need to get the parents involved, sooner or later.

Dude, we all understand your under stress now, but wait for another 3-5 days. Like others said, there are other factors to consider. And kid, if it's meant to be, then it's meant to be. If not, then it's not.. Just weigh out your options positively.. Good luck, keep it updated!

 

Learn from your mistakes..

However, I personally think it's too early for you to worrying.

Also, If you guys find out that she is..
Try Plan B. (I was watching TV the other day and saw it on the commercial)

Either way, hope you guys make wise decision, good luck.

 

^Plan b is definitely a great thing

 

Its not fully his, but he can influence his girl, and the parents can too

 

I had a friend who was always worried about it. His girlfriend missed her period for an entire month, many times, she was never pregnant though. The fact that you didn't finish in her really leaves a lot of breathing room. Chances of her becoming pregnant is rare. I think you should be okay, it hasn't been that long.

 

Plan B is only about 90% effective when taken within 3 days after having unprotected sex. If the girl is already pregnant, it won't do anything because it is not an abortion pill.

 

First of all, it doesn't matter how short you were inside her. Once you are inside and sperm cells come out (yes, they are present in precum although in smaller amounts), she can get pregnant. Use condom next time or birth control pills because the rhythm or ovulation method is only 80% effective.

Secondly, 5 days of not having menstrual period is still early as she might just be delayed due to stress. If you guys really want to find out now, suggest taking the "First Response" pregnancy test. From what I understand, it detects small amounts of the pregnancy hormone.

Good luck.

 

Well i want to thank all those who responded so quickly. We actually checked the calendar and it was actually january 17th when she had it. Making today actually 11 days late. That really got me worried when she told me about it. But your advice really calmed me down and helped me face reality more...

it seemed my prayers were really answered and tonight, just a few minutes ago, she had her period. Although i was naive, it was better safe then sorry and i needed to learn my lesson. Despite all the research i did, nothing helped me more than the real live responses from people here.







shit. i still have to give up sex for lent though

 

I'm glad things worked out! Count yourself lucky, and learn from it. You've been given a gift actually, because this one is going to stick with you and will hopefully be the thing that keeps you (and her) out of trouble.

 

Glad to hear everything went well and baby free! Kidd, you don't have to give up sex or stop doing it, just be wise full and careful. Be safe!

 

 

That's good. Hope you have both really learned from this experience and you'll take necessary precautions next time.

 

Sweet. Now use a condom. I hear magnums are good.

 

By the way....when did Terry become a Mod? Congrats.

 

Word of advise....the medical term for people that practice the rhythm or pull-out method is.....

PARENTS!!!

Wear a condom.

 

Instead of a Christmas Toy Drive, or the Breast Cancer drive, can we start a Condom drive for all of A-zine's young ones?
...Seriously...

 

well since you found out shes not pregnant congrats... however are you really 17? you said you joined AZ 5 yrs ago.. were you really 12 when you joined AZ?

 

+1 on the Condom drive. Don't push you luck next time!

 

i had fun looking at my old threads... ah memories...

man i went through this and it is the wort thing ever. We actually kinda ended breaking up over it.

My gf for some reason thought she couldnt get pregnant and refused try and get on birth control. Yea i wore condoms but that stuff sketchs me out way to bad.

 

LMAO, Dude. You are practicing all the Catholic traditions-

1. Rhythm method.
2. No BC.
3. Abortion out of the question.
4. Pro-life

...except

No sex before marriage!

Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time. 17yo minuteman and the pull-out ain't going to work, my friend. 17yo girl and the ovulation calendar ain't going to work, either- too many reasons to be unpredictable at that age.

Seriously, back up, WRAP IT UP, no exceptions, and go forth and enjoy thyself.

 

How many more times are we gonna read stories like this one? With kids in their teens! Unbelievable... Get a BJ and cum in her mouth or sumthin, or just get her on the pill, use the morning after pill once a month (you will be circling THAT day on your calendar playa haha) or wear a condom (last option)

 

:shakehead

 

warning...bro i went through a similar situation and my girl....told me she got her period..we were extremly happy when she realized 2 days later it ended.

She was actually pregnant. She was actually spotting. SO make sure she has her period.

My question to you is she a regular? If she is a regular she should NOT be so late especially almost 2 weeks late

 

... ill make sure lol

she had it for 4 days so im pretty sure she had it. post scared me a bit but im sure she had it and it ended. and were keeping more track now. she definately plays sports alot and has been pretty stressed... im pretty sure its all good

thanks for the advice
