Question about Pregnancy and Period

[lizzie1116]

I was wondering how far along do you have to be to miss a period. I am almost 100% sure I am not pregnant but do not want to wait to take a test until I miss a period. I am suppose to get my period this Wed or Thurs. I would be at least a little over 2 weeks pregnant basically if I was pregnant. Would that be enough to stop my period?

Yes I am a weird freak who is always slightly worried I am pregnant. I am trying to calm myself down and not rush out after the 14 days to take a test since I am almost 100% sure I am not pregnant.

That is the wrong question. The question should be, "How far along am I when I miss a period?" The easy answer is a fortnight. Pregnancy stops a period from happening.

Assuming a regular twenty-eight period, ovulation comes fourteen days after the first day of your last period. If you have not had a period two weeks later, you have missed a period - or are late. Do the test.

All teens are always a bit worried about their next period. When I discovered that my b/f was having all the fun and I was doing all the worrying, I stopped having sex for a few years. Part of maturity is being able to deal with the possibility that if we are sexual we can become pregnant.

So basically since I would have become pregnant no later than 2 weeks ago. If I do not receive my period next week it means that I am pregnant and need to test after that. I am on the pill, remember I took it like 2 and 1/2 hours late, so it isn't exactly like I ovulate in the middle of the month.

I can deal with the possibility of being pregnant. I am more of a planner and want to know right away so I can plan the next course of action.

Being on the pill and only sliding the time by two and a half hours, your chances of pregnancy are slim.

Those plans you allude to should all have been laid out before you spread your legs. Planning under duress leads to bad decisions. Relax. And, get on with the planning for the next time you may be late.
