    There could be any reason for her not getting her period! Maybe shes stressed about work or somethin! Doe s she have any other symptoms? e.g sore breasts? Why wait a week to find out! Do a test now for peace of mind!




    There are some sick people out there...

    It is possible for her to buy a test and use it there are ones that can be used once she is a day over due.

    I can understand you wanting to do the test together.

    Sex between a man and a woman is degined to lead to pregnancy and it is possible to be on the pill and use condom correctly and still get pregant even if it is hugely unlikely.

    Only way to be sure is to do the test and then look at your options.

    Yes and no. There are many reasons why she could be late but in a week you'll be able to confirm whether or not she's pregnant (going to see the GP together about it is a good idea, you're going to be in this together for better or worse if she is pregnant).

    It's hard not to stress about these things until you have an answer and try not to freak out too much. I know, that's a lot easier said than done.

    She wouldn't necessarily feel any symptoms yet. The fact that early pregnancy symptoms can be just like pre menstrual symptoms doesn't help.

    As said earlier her period could be late for any number of reasons or no particular reason. Even if her cycle is regular as clockwork there can be the occasional blip for no particular reason.
    If I was your girlfriend I'd have gone out and bought a test already! I can understand you wanting to be together to do it but I have to say I'd prefer to know one way or the other over an extra week of stress!

    You really won't know without a test. As said before she could be late for any number of reasons. I know my wife was convinced she was pregnant before (she wasn't) and had quite a few of the symptoms she had had when she was pregnant with our son.

    There really arent many symptoms until a few weeks in, after bout 6 weeks you may feel nausea, suppose she may have some boob tenderness but she could have that if her period was just overdue.

    Even when your both happy together and want to have kids at some stage an unexpected pregnancy can be very inconvenient in that if you're keeping it you have to drop your short to medium term life plans and start thinking about the three of ye.

    Not necessarily a negative thing but definitely a very big shock to the system.

    your gf might be pregnant, or the travelling could have messed her cycle up, also worrying about being pregnant can delay a period so if she really cant check while abroad, then she should just try to relax and not to worry.

    HER cycle was spot on every 28 days before this perhaps she is skipping a period which as i understand happens even though she may not be preg


    HOPEFULLY

    I don't think we were bumping in fairness. And it would seem unfair to lock the thread for such inquiries....I feel like I've just been caught looking out the window back in primary school!
