OK so this month I had sex only one time. He was wearing a condom and he dind't finish either. Also. I had a bladder infection in the beginging of the month so I was on medication.. the following week I had a yeast infection so I was on medication for another week.
I am now 8 days late of my period... I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative.. I took the test on the 6th missed day.
I am not sure if the medication is the reason? I'm sooo confused somebody please help me!

Medication can cause a delay in your period. Stressing about the fact that you think you are pregnant could delay it even further. These factors could even cause you to skip a cycle.
I doubt you are pregnant if you used a condom, and he didn't ejaculate, but anything is possible. Try to calm down and relax, and if your period doesn't come in another week, take an HPT or go to the doctor. If/when you take an HPT, make sure you use your first morning urine, it is the most accurate. :)

Thank you for replying to my question. So medicine can cause a delay my period? I have been having a great month and I started to worry probably the 5th or 6th day being late.
Does anyone else have a similar story?:/

Yes some medications can cause you to have a delay in your period. A bladder infection in itself can cause a delay in period for some women. Just sit back and relax, I think you should be okay :)

Well you have to take into consideration the fact that some factors can actually cause you to skip a period.
To me, 8 days isn't THAT late, especially if you feel strongly that you are not pregnant

How common is it to skip periods?

I have personally skipped a period twice, and I've had my period for 12 years.

Abstinence is the best way to not get pregnant. It is 100% effective.
But don't feel like you want to turn away from sex. If you take the proper precautions you can prevent pregnancy. Just go to your doctor and get on some sort of birth control. :)

Planned Parenthood is a great resource for preventing pregnancy. I would recommend that you go and see them. :)

As I said earlier he does not need to finish to get you pregnant.

Just try not to stress out about it. If your body is stressed it will cause your period to be irregular. Just try and relax. :)

as I said earlier he does not need to finish to get you preg.
As long as he was wearing a condom and it wasn't defective, the chances of her being pregnant are slim to none.

That's if the condom was used properly.

pltay : As far as you could recognize and acknowledge, did he use the condom properly?
pltay

He put it on right, pinched the tip, the whole nine yards?
If so, like I said above, your chances of being pregnant are slim to none.
pltay

Yes and I always make susre the tip is pinched right.

You're welcome. And if this is a really big concern for you, you can always pay your doctor a visit and talk with him about it. :)

It's not uncommon for a woman to skip periods.. some may skip their periods when they are very physically active... for example... into physical sports... yet if you continue to skip your periods.. I would recommend seeing your physician, ask what your options are to regulate them. There are lots of options out there... good luck
