haha don't worry there. the first year or two your periods are going to be a little off. it's stil adjusting. don't worrry. some girls even skip a month sometimes. don't worry though. if you feel as though you need to see a doctor..see one. but i really do'nt think you should worry. it happens.

Well if you are 100% sure that you are not pregnant then go to your doctor after 5 days.  If you dont get your period in the next 5 days, you could either be pregnant or you might have a problem.  Have you been stressing lately? Stress also makes your period come late.  So relax and wait and if it doesnt come, then head of to your doctor! Good luck!

You might need to take a pregnancy test.  You can still have a period and be pregnant.  But don't freak out!!  Take a test, if it's negative, wait a month and see if you get your period again.  If you do, you are probably not pregnant, but another test wouldn't hurt.  You can buy a test pack with two tests at Wal-Mart pretty cheaply.  It's true that you can get food cravings around the time of your period too.  If you are having unprotected sex, though, you might want to consider ways to protect yourself from pregnancy and STD's so that you won't even have to think about whether or not you're pregnant, and just go with the flow.  A condom is a cheap way to help prevent pregnancy, and you can get some free ones I'm sure at your local OBGYN office or planned parenting center.  My thing always was, am I ready for a baby, the responsiblity and the pain of labor?  No?  Well, I'm ready for contraceptives.  The pill is really cool, and easy to take nowadays.  Can you talk about this with someone you trust?  It's important to have a friend or parent who can help you with these big ole decisions.  Good Luck, and don't freak out!

okay hun dont be scared, It sounds to me like you was pretty safe so listen to this... I was the same way the first time i had sex I missed my period an i knew i was very safe an I kept goin to the clinic an taking preg' test.. The dr told me that the number 1 reason for miss'n a period is stress... He told to try to relax an not worry about and i finally got my period 3 days later...  An over the years i have learn that it is very true stress does cause you to miss your periods.. So just try to relax for a few days an im sure it will come.. If your having cramps you'll prob' get it very soon   ;) Best of luck!!!

During this time, if you keep track of your period by just remembering that it happens "around the 15th" or "close to the 3rd", it will screw you up some.  You will still have the same amount of days between your period, but it will seem like your period is late, if you just rely on the day.  Your body doesn't do anything different, but the calender is different, so it can catch you off guard.  I have wondered if people, who are asking questions about "can I be pregnant", are taking this into account.

I would talk to a doctor, he may have something that he can give you to regulate you.\nYou should only be having a period approximately every 28 days.

You're going through puberty, these things are all normal. Carry round a pad so you are prepared for your periods when they come. For more information about periods visit -\nhttp://beinggirl.com\nDon't worry :-)\n~Katie~

There could be many reasons why your period is late.  A thyroid problem is just one of many.  If it continues, maybe you shoudl get a check-up.

Ok a lot ofr girls don't have their period on time, due to stess or emotions being off balance. Also there is still a chance of being pregnant. Give her a week and see if it comes relax. If not go get a test and have her take it. It may be still early to tell if she is pregnant. But next time use protection or get birth control to play it safe. Just relax and let time judge.....

under stress...new diet...Both could be reasons for your period being late.  I'm not sure how the cold will affect the pregnancy tests, but if that is a concern, try buying another one and use it right away.  \n\nI've seen plenty of small women with children.  I'm sure your body will adjust with no problem.  Take a look as some of these asian women.  Their babies sometimes seem to be bigger then they are.  If they can do it, so can you.\n\nAlso, women used to be a lot smaller due to lack of nutrition.  If you are small in today's terms, you are probably about average for women years ago.  They all had babies with a lot less help than is availible today.  If it turns out that you are too small to deliver the baby naturally, you can have a c-section.

I can't answer that without more information, but here are some things you should consider:\n\nDo you usually have regular periods?\nWhere were you in your cycle when you had sex (was it right after the last period, halfway in between, around the time your period was supposed to come)?\nDo you usually get PMS symptoms before your period?\nIs your period late yet, and if so, how late?\n\nIf you are worried about being pregnant, you could take a home pregnancy test.  It would be better to test than to be worried about it.

Back in August I had my period for 9 days straight....constant cramping, sometimes feeling like contractions, and constant bleeding. (There was even a red ring around the toilet, gross!) Anyways, I KNEW this wasn't normal for me and went to the doc's. Finds out I have ovarian cysts which was causing this, I don't know exactly why, and not saying this is your problem, but if it's not normal for you, which it's obviously not since you are frightened, I would suggest a visit to the old doctor and see what's going on.  The worse he can say is he doesn't know and to keep an eye on it, which unfortunately wouldn't be suprising, but just knowing you went to get it checked on can help calm you down.  Good luck to you!

It would be best to talk to your doctor about that. It could be a number of things, but it would be safer for you to speak with a doctor. Don't worry about not getting your period yet, some people are just late bloomers and there shouldn't be anything to worry about.

This happens to me all the time between periods. It's nothing to worry about, but no, it's not your period! (unfortunately, lol) I also experience cramping up to a week before I start or even longer if I am stressed out as stress causes my period to be late. It has to do with hormonal changes and ovulation. \n\nTake some ibuprofen and a multivitamin and you should hopefully feel much better. :)\n\n*edit* As other answerers have said, you could also be pregnant! If you are sexually active and this is not normal for your body it's worth looking into. But i'm a virgin and I have these symptoms all the time, obviously i'm not pregnant, so it might not necessarily be that.

possibly stress, sometimes even with regular periods...you can still have irregular periods...you should start by mid next week the latest...after that, visit your doctor...

First it would help to know your age, and wether or not you have had unprotected sex.  If you are younger, in your teens, having a late period is relatively normal as your cycle is not regular yet.  However, if you are 20's or older, your cycle should be a bit more regular - (but can still be off).  What I am wondering about though is the fact that you are cramping.  If the cramps are coming from one side only, or are traveling up to your shoulder and back down (called a shoulder strap cramp - like the strap of your purse) you could have an ectopic pregnancy - or "tubal" pregnancy.  If the cramps persist, and you still have not had a period by the end of the week, do another pregnancy test. Or better yet, get into your Dr. and have her check it out.  Hope this helps...
