The story

I need help easing this anxiety real quick; im 17. I lost my virginity recently, we used protection and the guy didn’t eject. A condom or two broke, but we immediately put a new one on. However; my period is delayed two weeks. I’ve had a regular cycle for years. I can’t talk to my parents about this, especially my mom. They’re extremely strict with dating. I can’t tell my boyfriend about this, because im unsure.

There’s not a chance, right? 😭

I’ve been stressed for a long time now, so I know that can affect that, but it hasn’t before.

i totally get how anxiety-inducing this must be 😌 sounds like everything was done to keep it safe but sometimes life is unpredictable when it comes to cycles stress is a real game changer too 💁‍♂️ take a deep breath maybe grab a test to clear things up thats what theyre there for 🙌 wishing you some calm in the storm! remember to give yourself grace through this experience

hey there, i totally understand the anxiety you're feeling 😅 it's great that you used protection, even if a couple of barriers failed, it's a smart move to replace them quickly 🙌 stress can definitely mess with your menstrual cycle, too. i remember when i was stressed out, my cycle went all over the place 😬 it might be a good idea to take a test, just to ease your mind. try to stay calm and positive; things often work out better than we expect ✨ you've got this!

it's good that you took precautions despite the hiccups. it's amazing how stress can wreak havoc on our bodies, especially something as sensitive as your menstrual cycle. ever thought about whether anything else might be contributing to the delay? nutritional shifts or changes in sleep patterns could also play a role. while it’s understandable not wanting to involve people close to you right now, maybe there's someone you trust who can provide some support or advice. whatever's going on, remember you're not alone in this - we've all been through similarly confusing situations at some point.
