Hello,

I'm 16 years old and my period is five days late. My boyfriend and I had protected sex 3 days ago. I don't have any pregnancy symptoms but I'm just worried that I might be pregnant because I don't understand why my period is late. I've had brownish discharge and Tuesday 6th December I had really bad stomach ache. On the 18th November, we were messing around and he pressed his privates on mine but I was wearing underwear. Any opinion or advice would be greatly appreciated thank you

Sex can cause a delay in a women's period cycle. However, you should take a pregnancy test just to be sure. Why don't you use some other form of birth control with the use of condoms. Maybe use the pill as well to ensure you don't become pregnant.

Thanks for the advice, I took a test and it was negative so happy days.
