reader, anonymous, writes (14 April 2007): It would be pretty unlikely after three negative tests that you are pregnant, however, a woman I know who got pregnant at 18 claims that she failed these tests, and was pregnant (she has a little boy to prove it) and that when she went to plan parenthood and had lab work done, they found she was pregnant. You aren't very late, I would give it a couple of weeks, and then retest....or make an appointment with your doctor for a test.
Condoms are not 99.99% effective, if you want to raise their protective rate, then add spermicidal foam. Or why don't you use the birth control pill as they regulate your period and are 99.99% effective against pregnancy unless not used properly or while taking antibiotics.

I agree. Many things can make your period late. Like deejuliet said, stress can. But also, what you have eaten can change it, or if you haven't been getting enough sleep.
Give it some time and you may find that you have been worrying for nothing. Just remember that condoms are 99.9% effective and be a little optimistic. Best Wishes!

You are only 2 days 'late' so there is nothing to panic over yet. Cycles are not always exactly 28 days, they can vary by as many as 8 days and still be completely normal! Also, stress can delay a period, so if you are feeling stressed and worried about being pregnant that alone can delay the onset of menses. I can certainly understand your concern and fear, but you have taken 3 negative tests. Take a deep breath and try to remain calm. Wait a few days and your period will most likely come soon.
