Question - (11 May 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 13 May 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, *ew_at_this writes:

Okay so this question isn't really about me, its about my friend.

She's 16 and has been having sex with her boyfriend for about ten months now. They used to have sex very often and with out a condom, but recently they have cut back on how much they do it and use a condom every time.

She's never been pregnant before.

Since her last period they have had sex three times, each time he wore a condom and they double checked after wards that the condom didn't break.

A few weeks ago she had a yeast infection and took medicine to make the infection go away.

She was supposed to start her period on a Thursday,

On Monday she got what she thought was her period, except what came out was a kind of brown color. After having that for three days, a very small amount of blood came out, then her "non-period" ended.

She is now about five days late for her actual period.

So here are my questions...

1: Could the medication for her yeast infection cause her period to be late?

2: Is it possible that the three days of brownish liquid was her period this month and was just different cause of the infection or medicine?

3: Is there any other advice i should tell her about this situation?

She asked me for advice, and i have no idea what to tell her. Help please.

CindyCares agony auntJust to be on the safe side, she could repeat the test in a couple of days. Some times the level of beta-HCG hormones is too low to be detected by the test before you are 7-8 days late ,and may give a false negative.

CindyCares agony aunt Is your friend absolutely sure there's no chance she may be pregnant ?

If I were her, I'd take a pregnancy test anyway-

these brownish discharges are quite common in the very first weeks of pregnancy when the fertilized egg is implanting itself in the womb.
