my gf said she usually gets her period about the 20th or so, and last month it was late. We have been having sex for about a month and a half and we have just started using condoms about a week ago. I was wondering what can make a period come late

A woman's periods may not become regular until she's in her 20's, or sometimes never. Hormone fluxuations can make it late, as well as stress, diet changes, or illness. Worrying about being pregnant can delay a period. Keep wearing that condom. You're very smart to ease her mind (and yours) by always wearing a condom. It's far easier to prevent a baby than raise one.

Stress can cause a period to be late. If she is young, then her period could just be irregular.
If she is really worried about being pregnant, then it could be stressing her out to the point that her period is not coming.
If you really want to be 100% the only sure way to know is to take a test.
Good luck!

well the most common reason for missing a period is shes pregnant but it could also be stress, poor diet, some girls miss periods because of hormonal changes, sometimes that can be due to the winter season- believe it or not! if she got her period, but it was late - i wouldnt worry too much - but you do need to be a little safer if you are planning on having sex

Stress of being pregnant can also cause a period to be late. Don't be stupid, use condoms ALWAYS until you know you are in a COMMITTED relationship and then you can switch to another form of birth control.

Many things can make your period late. Something as little as stress or even the fact that you recently started being intimate can make her late. Worst case scenerio, pregnancy test - but remember they are not always correct. The doctors office is always the safe way.

stress plays a big factor in a late period if a girl isn't pregnant....does ur gf have alot of stress in her life right now? if so then that could be the prob.

Man, just go buy her a pregnancy test.
A number of things could have made her period late.
Stress.
Irregular periods.
A baby.
Get her to go to your local health department as well. There is a section known as "Family Planning" that will help you/her.
Good Luck

Exactly what you're doing. Boy rush to your local drugstore and buy a pregnancy test. A calender while you at it because that tells you not to bang her around the 20th of the month. Goodluck

If this is a serious question---did you ever think she is pregnant?
No contraception used in the last 3 weeks,her period doesn't come--think about it.

OK first the standard lecture. how can you be so uneducated about not using a condom? you have exposed yourself to STDs AIDS and possible pregnancy! go to the store and buy a condom! you should be using condoms, spermicide, and birth control pills to minimize chances of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, your girlfriend needs to be tested for pregnancy and you both need to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS, next time think with the head on your shoulders not the one between your legs
