Question 1

my period is five days late. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy test: If you have been having unprotected sex and your period is late or abnormal the first thing to do is a pregnancy test and you should repeat it in 3-5 days to be sure if it is negative. It is also a good first step if you are on contraception since there is no contraceptive method that is 100% effective. Hope this helps.

No: Most home pregnancy tests are highly accurate once you have missed your first period.  Follow the instructions closely and use your first morning urine.

Refrain from alcohol and cigarettes until you know for sure.

Accepted Answer

Yes : Yes and yes. If your internal stress levels are high enough it can impact when you menstruate.   A condom is good protection, but is not a 100% guarantee.  You might wish to wait about a week out from the last pregnancy test to repeat it (if your period has not started by then).
