hi...I'm a little confused right now as to what's really going on but...I had prootected sex days a few days after my period (which I'm guessing was a time when I was low in fertility???) and a few weeks after that I ovulated (i could tell coz of all the signs: changes in cervical mucous, moody, tired and bloating and twinging pains...). Also, around that same time and even a week or so before that I was really stressed coz of exams...I mean, i barely had a proper meal let alone proper sleep for like two weeks!!! Now exams are over (1 week ago) and I was supposed to have my period yesterday but it never came!!!! I've been having tender breasts and swollen nipples, bloating and sometimes feeling a little constipated & having headaches. So I'm just wondering the reasons for the delay...I heard that stress does crazy things 2 ur body and dat it takes a while to for the body to re-adjust...I'm just friekin out incase I might actually be preggers!!! Any ideas????

Take a test
There are a number of reasons for your period to be late. Stress (and you are talking about poor sleep, not eating and impending exams) can cause your period to be late.
However, all forms of birth control have a failure rate. It is VERY UNLIKELY that you are pregnant - but it is not a 0% chance ... Give it a bit of time for your period to come, but if it doesn't come you should take a pregnancy test to check on that (small) possibility.

Your period is probably on its way, just a little late. All the things you described can cause a delay in menstruation. If its a week or more late and you are getting negative pregnancy tests, then you need to see a doctor.
In the mean time, relax (if possible), exercise lightly, and try to eat a balanced healthy diet.

Take a pregnancy home test. But go see your doctor just in case something else is going on...
