My period is about 5-8 days late. And I'm really beginning to freak out. I'm afraid I might be pregnant but my boyfriend keeps telling me it's impossible because we've used protection. In March, my period was about 8 days late. So I'm hoping that it's just late, and I'm not pregnant. Is there any possible explanation for it being late? I haven't had any other symptoms listed here.

Suzie,
It sounds like you have irregular menstrual cycles. If you are worried then take a home pregnancy test to find out for sure. If you have monthly pregnancy scares then I think you should be on birth control. The pill would be added protection against pregnancy and the pill will also regulate your period.
Let us know how you are doing.
Be Safe
Love, Falon

i completly agree with Falon. I8 had this friend and every three months we would have to here \"i'm pregnant. i haven't gotten my period in three months. i' three months pregnant!\" she wouldn't listen to us when we told her that she gets her period every three months. she went on birht control and we never heard those words come out of her mouth again.
