Hello Riya, take a pregnancy test 7 days post a missed period.
Hi!
My last period ended November 21st 2017. I typically have a 30-35 day cycle and had unprotected sex on December 6th. I am 2 weeks late for my period. I have taken 3 at home tests all which have been negative. I have no symptoms of pregnancy (sore breasts, nausea, mood swings, bloating).
I am normally pretty regular and have never spotted however spotted 2 weeks before my expected period date and have been for the past 3 days (jan 1-3 2018). I am also in College and was in the middle of exams just 3 weeks ago.- which are very stressful.
Hi Jane. Stress, changes in your daily life, can affect the regularity of your period. If you have taken at home tests after the anticipated start of your period and they are negative I wouldn’t worry too much. However if it comes to the next time when you should have your period, I would make an appointment with your doctor to get checked out and make sure everything is okay.

Hello Amanda, it’s good you’ll be seeing your doctor as it’s sometimes hard to make a diagnosis without doing a physical examination. Wishing you all the best.
