Hi, I haven't gotten my period in almost 10 days now. I feel fine, and don't have other symptoms such as breast tenderness or morning sickness. My last period was on September 30. Today's Nov 9th. I had protected sex, but still worried if I'm pregnant. Am I worrying for nothing, sumone please help :(

You could be pregnant, there's no such thing as safe sex, only safer sex. It's time to take an hpt, use first morning urine.
Good luck.

But, m not experiencing any pregnancy symptoms. Is it possible to be pregnant and not experience evn a single symptom like nausea, mood swings or back pain? I mean, help me out here, I was due on the 30th of October, today's 14th November. They say, if pregnant, calculate from first day of last period. Dat means I should be in my 7th week ryt? But, not a single sign. Apart from d missed period. Help!

Your period may just be off this cycle... which is the mostly likely reason. You don't always have the classic pregnancy symptoms right away, and which ones or when you might experience them can vary from person to person.
You can take a pregnancy test every week, see your doctor about a pregnancy test in the office, or wait and see what happens next month with your period.

Is it wise to wait for a month, this isn't exactly the time for me to be having babies! I know that the symptoms vary, but that's my whole point, m not getting any. N is it possible for me to just offshoot my period by a month for no apparent reason? What would give me an accurate and faster result, a doctor or a HPT? How long can/Should I wait?
Thanks

Yes, it is possible to skip a period once in awhile for no apparent reason... but take a HPT and see what you get. Odds are you aren't pregnant if you were using protection.
A blood test at the doctor's will be more accurate, but they don't always do them due to cost, speed, and most of the time the urine ones suffice. Urine tests will have different levels of sensitivity and some of the ones you can buy in the stores are often just as sensitive as what your doctor would use in the office.
Only symptom I had at first with all 4 of mine was a missed period... I didn't have any morning sickness with any of them and other symptoms didn't start in until further along.
I would try a HPT, if negative, wait until next month and see what happens with your period. Of course, if you feel as though any other possible symptoms start to show up, see your doctor sooner. In the meantime, just be aware of any lifestyle changes that would be a good idea if you were indeed pregnant until you know for sure.
