Am I pregnant??
Hey, I'm 16 and currently freaking out. My period has always been irregular by about a week and now it's 10 days late. I've commenced freaking out. I'm sexually active with my boyfriend of whom I've been dating for a year and we're both very mature. Although, I have never ever had unprotected vaginal sex. Also we've never had a condom break before. I've done a lot of research and the only symptom of pregnancy I have is that my period is late. I can't get a pregnancy test until Monday and it's Saturday. So it's a long time away. Also, perhaps stress or illness has to do with the fact that my period is late? Also to note, I have smoked marijuana occasionally over the past year and a half but recently I began smoking everyday to help with anxiety and please don't tell me it's bad ect. Could this have to do with my period being late? Someone please help me I'm stressing

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Unfortunately, it's not possible for anyone to tell you that you are or are not pregnant at this stage - you may be, you may not be. But sit back and relax and take a deep breath, you're probably not. Most girls think they are pregnant and convince themselves, so the stress of that causes their period to be late. Stress is a massive reason why periods are late, and if you're stressing a lot then that could be a huge reason. It's easy to jump to thinking you're pregnant, but there is a very low chance seen as though you are very careful.
However, a period can be late for no reason whatsoever, every girl has late periods at least in some points of their lives. It could possibly just be a scare. In fact, I'm sure it is. Wait a bit longer and if your period still doesn't come then take a pregnancy test. Until then, try to remain calm and relax yourself - panicking will only make it worse! Unfortunately I can't tell you if you are or not, but I hope this helps in some way and I hope everything turns out alright.

BINGO; Stress, anxiety and the pot smoking all add up to missing a period. Anxiety is the number one cause of a woman missing her period followed by stress then illness and antibiotic drugs. Illegal drugs such as put and opiates will also effect your cycle.
My suggestion is you stop smoking pot it is not going to help you with your anxiety. If you have anxiety problems see a doctor and find out what the cause of those problems are and get proper treatment. The anxiety is the most probable cause of your stress.
While I don't believe you are pregnant get a home pregnancy test and follow the directions on the box as to when to take the test. A negative result will help relieve the anxiety and stress. If by chance you get a positive result don't freak out as you may be testing too soon and there are more false positives than false negatives. Wait ten days and test again with a different brand of kit.
