I completely missed my cycle for July, also my cycle for August was suppost to start 3 days ago. is there a chance of pregnancy? should I take another test? or am I facing another reason for missed cycles?

Hi There, are you having Irregular periods? you should probably check with your doctor to see whats wrong.
Hi, I’m 9 days late past my due date of my period. It was supposed to be due for July 27 and I have had a period on June 27 and I’m now wondering if there is a possibility of me being pregnant? Especially, since I am having a little cramping, but no other signs of my period. Every since the last day of my last period I’ve been having sex with my boyfriend about every other day and my periods usually last for five days.
Hi Trina, have you taken a pregnancy test as yet? if not you should because it is possible for you to be pregnant.
I last saw my period 2-6 of july and I has sex on 14 I have not seen my period.
My last period came about 10 days late. 13 days after it ended (which is the time my period was supposed to come had it not been late in the first place) I noticed I was slightly bleeding and it felt like my period but this only lasted one day. The next day I was spotting but this never happens so I’m just confused and wondering why this could be and if it’s normal?
Hello riri. I am not sure if I am understanding your situation you described. Also, I do not have enough info to determine what the cause may be. I would recommend you speak with a doctor or professional as soon as possible.
Hi, my period was June 21 – 26 2015 (36-37 days cycle). I had unprotected sex July 14 and until now my period hasn’t come. Is it delayed or am I pregnant?
It is possible you are pregnant. Your fertile days were July 10th-15th making your chances of conceiving very high. I would recommend you take a pregnancy test soon.
I’m 26 yrs old and married since early this year, my last period was 27th of June. I had sex with my husband several times in June, but I haven’t seen my menstruation and today is 29th but am feeling some pains on my breast and I’m feeling weak.
similar story got mine last June 27 haven’t seen it yet it’s August 4 … Unsure what’s wrong
My last period was on 18 June 2015 and I had unprotected sex on the 4th of July 2015 but he pulled out and never released inside me. I still have not seen my period since now, could I be pregnant?
It is possible that your period is just delayed. It is also possible that though he did not ejaculate in you, sperms could have been released in his pre-ejaculation fluid. In any case, it’s best to wait at least another week before you try a pregnancy test.
I saw my period on 13th June 2015, I had sex with my boyfriend on 20th June and now I still haven’t seen my period. Does it mean that am pregnant?
This depends on whether you were ovulating at the time you had sex. If you have a 28 days cycle, you were fertile from June 25 to 29; your fertile days depends on the length of your cycle. You must take a pregnancy test for confirmation. Remember also that your period may also be late for different reasons, take a look at this post http://womanjunction.com/8-mess-period/
Good day. My last period was June 19 and we’ve been having sex almost every day. Do I run the risk of getting pregnant? When they say everyday sex can reduce the power of semen, is this correct? Please reply.
Yes, you are still at risk of becoming pregnant. Although frequent ejaculations can reduce sperm count it does not mean that your partner cannot impregnate you. Once you have unprotected sex and your body is fertile, you can become pregnant. If your partner has issues with his sperm count then the chances of becoming pregnant would be low.
Hi my last period was June 21st 2015 and I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on 26th June 2015 and 29th June 2015 and 30th June 2015 and the 8th July 2015 and the 9th July is there a chance I could be pregnant someone give me some answers
Hey guys I am 22 years of age. my last period started on the 30th of may had sex several times in the interval even on my most fertile days now its the 7th of July no sign of period but yet when I do the test they are negative. I have some cramps and sore breast. Am I pregnant or not
Hello Lucious. It sounds like you may be pregnant. Though, I would recommend you see a doctor, preferably an OB.
I’m confused! My period is always on time,and never abnormal. My last cycle was may 18 and it was a normal 4 days…my cycle is 28-29 days. I had unprotected sex on the 27….on June 2 I started to bleed not heavy and not the same color as normal. The next day I had a few small clots ..then it stopped . Had unprotected sex again on June 12. Still no period. . Help!
I would definitely see a doctor about this. I doubt anything is wrong, but it definitely seems abnormal and too complicated for anyone with no medical background to give you a solid answer on. Hope all is well!
Okay so my last period was April 26th and it was my normal five days. My cycle is 34 days apart so my next one should have been May 31st and today is June 4th and still no sign of my period. I’m almost a week late! My lower stomach hurts for a few minutes then stops and comes back. I’m always exhausted. Cramps but no blood. Tested but negative. I’m worried. I’m 26years
Hi there. Your next period was due on May 30th. You didn’t say when you had unprotected sex but if it was around the 14th to the 18th of May, you could be pregnant since those were your most fertile days so if you haven’t seen it by now, take a test and see your doctor to confirm.

Hi,
congratulations for your wedding ! The best moment to test yourself is with the first morning urine, the HCG hormone will be then more concentrated so easier to detect if there is !
Good luck
