    Might I be pregnant?
    here's the thing, i've never been "regular" i can get my period anytime between 19 to 29 days later. it's happened to me once about 6 yrs back that i went 2 mths without having a period without having had sexual intercorse for a good year.
    i am active now, not trying to have a baby, but we kinda didn't use a condom 2 times within this past month. (he always pulls out before cuming, but i guess there's still that risk of there being some stray sperm in the pre-ejaculation stuff)
    the morning after our 2nd & last condomless night, i went to the washroom and found what i thought to be the beginings of my period. put in a tampon but when i went to change, all there was was what seemed to be the leftovers of period blood...odd. so i put on a pad, but nothing else happened. next day, same thing, traces of what could be period blood after my morning pee, of a slightly different consistency and then that was it. nothing else.
    i figured i'd wait it out, 'till my latest day of period cycle-ish (if i can really call what i have a cycle). it's that day, i guess i can wait it out 'till midnight, but still...
    might i be pregnant?
    i'm trying not to worry over this, 'cause whether i am or not i'll be capable of managing and i'll have people to support me. but i seem to be kinda trapped, on the one side i don't feel ready just yet and on the other, i'm catching myself trying to pick names and silently hoping that i am. could the lack of period be related to stress? possibly, i guess... i mean i have a friend that just had an accident and got admited into the hospital... but would that have cause a start & stop to my period? or could that have been caused because i am just that, pregnant?
    ok i'm gonna stop myself now before i continue to ramble aimlessly...
    thanks for your time & for all help & answers given :D

    As you said, it is definitely possible for you to be pregnant using the withdrawl method. This method is never reliable for the very reason that there is a small amount of sperm in the pre-ejaculate. I think in your case, a blood test would be a wise choice, and /or a visit to your ob/gyn. They can do an exam to check for other pregnancy signs such as an enlarged uterus, and the blueish purple coloring inside that accompanies pregnancy. They can order a quantative blood test for you, to measure the amount of hcg in your system. You could just be stressed from your friends accident as well, or perhaps your body is just throwing you through a loop. Good luck. Hope you can get this figured out soon.

    I would suggest trying a hpt using first morning urine. If you can, try to wait it out another week. If you don't think you can wait that long, try it. You have practically missed your period at this point, and more than likely if you are pregnant a hpt might show. Hope this helps. I'm sure it will all work out the way it's supposed to!
