Hi everyone, me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex on the 20th last month but he pulled out before he ejaculated. My last period started on the 12th of May and lasted till the 17th. My period has never been late, I was supposed to get my period 3 days ago but still no sign. Today I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative, should I be worried? What should I do? I've been stressing all month about the possibility of being pregnant, could that be a factor as to why it's late?

It's not uncommon for your period to be late, especially if you are young. I freaked out about the same thing when I was 18, my period ended up being a month late, but I wasn't pregnant. I went to the doctor and they told me it was perfectly normal for my age. If I were you I wouldn't worry at this point (stressing about it can make your period even later!). I would suggest if you haven't had a period in another week to take a test again. If it's negative and in another week you still haven't had a period try one more time. If still nothing you might need to go to the doctor and have them do a blood test. But if you aren't having any symptoms then I wouldn't stress about it much at all. Chances are it is just hormone or stress related
