I Was Supossed to Get My Period 7 Days Ago, but It Never Came.

K.

You're 17- are you having unprotected sex?? If you are? You need to STOP having sex until you are ready and can afford to have a child.

I'm sorry you don't have a good enough relationship with your mom to tell her what's going on. That's a shame.

Go to the doctor and get a blood test - that's accurate. Then get on birth control and stop having unprotected sex - even with birth control - use a condom - or better yet - STOP HAVING SEX!! It's obvious you are NOT emotionally ready to have sex yet.

Hopefully this is just a wake up call for you.
See Planned Parenthood and quit having sex until you have an education, a job, a place of your own and the means to raise a child without expecting help from anyone (except from your Husband).

Go to Planned Parenthood they can help you figure it out.

Periods are late for all kinds of reasons, particularly in young women.

If you are having unprotected sex at 17, do you have a back-up plan? What did you and your boyfriend/boyfriends discuss when you became sexually active? If you are using some kind of protection, do you know how effective it is and what the failure rate is?

Here's one thing to consider: if you are pregnant you have a problem. (More on this later.) If you are not pregnant, you can get pregnant now while you fool around with tests. So stop having sex until you get this sorted out.

Home tests are not always accurate, especially in the early stages. Stop spending money on them for now.

Do you have a doctor? Go and get a blood test. If you want to go to a local clinic or Planned Parenthood, call and ask them to work with you re a payment plan.

I'm not sure why you think you can't go to your mom with your concerns and can only go when you are pregnant. What is the reason for that? Is she in favor of a pregnancy? I doubt that! Are you hoping to spare her the knowledge of your sexual activity unless you have no choice? If you were pregnant, what would you do? Why can't you say that your period is more than a week late, and you know there might be a variety of reasons for that, and can you see the doctor?

I suggest you talk to your mother about your dilemma and get her involved in helping you through this, or helping you prevent it going forward. If you absolutely cannot talk to her, find someone else - a school nurse, a Planned Parenthood counselor, an older friend or relative, someone whose judgment you trust. DO NOT talk to your friends about this - they don't know anymore than you do.

Look, you're 7 days late. In the old days before home pregnancy tests, women waited for weeks and weeks to be able to get an accurate test. Talk to the pharmacist about an alternative test that might be more reliable than the brand you chose. Maybe you used a cheap one from the dollar store and it's either inaccurate or expired. Or, maybe you're not pregnant.

But you really have to stop having sex until you are prepared for every possible outcome of every sexual act. That means pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, and the emotional upheaval you are experiencing now.

I think that you should tell your mom that you made mistake she will be mad but your her kid she will do what best for you!

Are you stressed out? Have you lost weight recently? There are many reasons why you might skip a period other than pregnancy. When I was your age, I skipped mine entirely every time finals week approached every semester, because of stress.

All that said, if you are having sex, make an appointment at Planned Parenthood immediately! They will test if you are pregnant, and if you are not, they will help you obtain reliable birth control. This is so important. Do it now.

When I was a teen and young adult, my cycle fluctuated wildly. Take another test in a week. Going forward, double up on birth control methods.

One for you - pills, patch, IUD, etc - AND condoms always on him. This is for both pregnancy and STDs. Guys often have zero symptoms and don't know they are infected unless they are tested, so "I'm clean." means nothing unless you see the report.

Some couples go get tested together before starting a sexual relationship. That's a level of intimacy that shows maturity and commitment.

Yes. You can let your momma know. She can help you. If you can't talk to your mom like an adult, you have no business having sex.

You need to be seen by a doctor. Have blood tests run.

STOP HAVING SEX. This is a wake up call for you.

You can go to the local county health department and they will do a free pregnancy test. A professional test is more accurate than one that has been sitting on the shelf.

Then you will know.

go to planned parenthood.
