blind to the glow.

I just recently started dating this guy at the end of February--we started becoming sexually active at the end of April. I am not on birth control but we've used condoms every time. My period is four almost 5 days late, I took a pregnancy test from Walgreens the day it was missed and got an immediate negative. Today, day four of it being missed, I took one from dollar tree. negative. I noticed slight pink after m********tion the other day, but I thought that might mean the start of my period and it so far isn't. I have been crampy and I could have sworn my breast were getting bigger but I'm getting paranoid. and have been loading up on vitamin c because I hear it can induce periods. I just had finals week last week, have been sick with a cold, and the latest my period had ever been (not pregnant) was 10 days. I don't know what to think. should I be worried? I am so not ready to be a mom. and do not slut shame me. it's all perfectly normal (yes I know I need to go on BC)

My roommate who I have been extra cautious around hygiene wise lately has either gonorrhea or chlamydia, and I'm scared to death I have it. we share the same soap bar and I bathe in the same shower as her and lately I've had a lot of discharge, plus burning when I pee. I have had a cold, which I know can increase discharge, but not necessarily provide a fishy smell.

sometimes I masturbate with the faucet of the bathtub, which I now know could cause vaginal infections of all kinds. I'm scared to death. what should I do?

I recently discovered, after a prescription bottle had fallen off her desk and into the floor, that the prescription is either to treat gonorrhea or chlamydia, because I googled it and was curious. my roommate has not given me a heads up it told me about any of this. is there any way I could get it? How long does the infection live in materials before dying off? I'm so grossly paranoid but I can't confront my roommate because he's doesn't know that I know. BUT I'm reeeally scared I have it/could catch it. :/

p.s. we've shared soap and things like that before...

I can only afford one pair right now and need to knw which ones I should get. I want them all and can't decide!

I just ordered some cross earrings online that are kinda big and plain silver crosses, from ASOS. I would identify as a Christian although I do not practice to the normal standards of a regular church goer, but Jesus is my Lord and I find the cross is a beautiful symbol of this. It was brought to my attention at a lunch break with some coworkers that though wearing the cross as anything besides a necklace was demanding or degrading to the Christian symbolism it holds. Do you think that is true and why it why not?

I have plenty of angry and angsty and sad break up songs, but do you know of any that are hopeful and positive in the end? Thank you x

I love nose hoops. think they look so great. I want to get my nose pierced, but my mom always said anything past lobes or any piercings and my siblings and I would be "paying for our own college" and etc. However, my sister got a tattoo in college and my parents acted frustrated for a bit and got over it. Should I just do it and not tell my mom? I mean. I AM 18 for crying out loud.

Also, how do I know which side to put it on/how much will it cost?

I have a pair of mossimo loafer/flats/smoking shoes I bought at goodwill for $4. they are in my size, fit, and are soooo cute. i have an outfit i want to wear them with next week but they kill my feet. the first day i wore them i got halfway down the road before i realized that one of my heels was completely bleeding.

Is there any way around this or a way to break them in? Simply putting bandaids on didn't help my situation. Thank you!

Diarrhea, soft cervix, period six days late?

I went to dollar tree on my fourth day of being late for my period to get a pregnancy test. It was negative, but I didn't take it early in the day, I took it after dinner. My boobs seem bigger ever since my ex bf and I started having sex. He even said so one time. They're not sore though. Since then, I've had a break up and papers due and a couple of sleepless nights and stress. I check my cervix and it's really high and soft and has a little but of creamy white cm. I have been having crazy diarrhea off and on and I know that technically this all could be triggered from stress but stress bad never before caused my period to be so late. What should I do, and what's your insight? Thank you

ps- we only had sex three times and USED CONDOMS. i KNOW they're not 100 percent preventing but seriously... what should I do? would stress be causing all of this and if so is it making symptoms as if i were pregnant (ie, the cervix... usually I'm a bit drier and feel tighter when my periods on

The past while that I have had protected (condom) sex with my now ex boyfriend (the stree from the breakup factored into this equation as well as starting classes up again and a pregnancy scare, I have had really bad sleeping schedules and everything. My boobs have grown but aren't sore. I took a pregnancy test from the dollar store this evening after dinner and it was negative. I have been super gassy and my stomach churns a lout. I have been getting bouts of diarrhea. Everything right now is becoming way too much to handle.

We've been careful and had protected (condom) sex three times. He hasn't asked about my period, in a few days, he only asked me when it was supposed to start before it was supposed to start.

We're both in college and poor and can't afford to have a baby right now. And also I have no car and no way of getting around to get a pregnancy test before I talk to him about it. Absolutely no way.

I'm getting really panicky and it sucks. What should I do? I feel bad making him worry if it's unnecessary but at the same time I think he deserves to be freaked out and concerned as much as I am. Thank you.

P.S. Please no slut shaming or rude comments or lectures. Spare me.

My period is three days late and I'm getting panicky. My boyfriend and I started being sexually active just this past month, having sex once a week for the past three weeks USING CONDOMS FOR PROTECTION. During the last time, he commented on how my boobs seemed bigger. i shrugged it off thinking it was just PMS, but it's true. They do seem bigger, including the nipple. No color change or anything and no real soreness. I have been really stressed and had a few all nighters this past week and think I may have started to gain weight in general. i don't know how regular my cycle is, because I've just started tracking it this past cycle on an app on my phone. I have also been kind of gassy and my cervix has been all over the place (I've been checking it) a few times the past couple days I've felt like I was getting period cramps, but no blood, no spotting, nothing. What gives?

I have heard ginger tea will induce a period. I'm getting panicky as mine is three days late. Does this work? And does it have to be fresh or can it be from a tea bag? If so, how much should I drink a day? I had two cups today (two tea bags steeped). Thank you. x

we've had sex using a condom three times, once a week, for the past three weeks. my period is 1 day late. yesterday he said my boobs seemed bigger to him. I have been really exhausted but have not been sleeping well at all. i thought i was about to get my period because i felt like i was two days ago, and i can usually tell, but that feeling went away. there has been any spotting. i'm getting really panicky. is it too early to test? can your body trick you into being pregnant and make your onset period late even after it seemed like it was starting? i'm freaking out. please help.

Okay so my boyfriend and I have had sex twice, both times using a condom. According to the period tracker on my phone (which I recently just started using so I'm not sure if it's super accurate, and I never started tracking my period until the past cycle and a half). I also started checking my cervix and all of that. I noticed when it was soft and high (ovulation), and the changes in CM. Well, earlier today i had cramps and yesterday I started breaking out bad and I just had the instinct that my period is coming any time now. Well I checked cervix and it was low(er) and harder. I start feeling like I have a UTI/diarrhea around the time of my period. And up there is usually drier. And I had both of that earlier today. I also get really restless at night with PMS. And tonight I check it, and I have a tiiiiiny bit of creamy white CM and my cervix seems a tiny bit higher and softer.

But I am also in college and have a super stressful schedule/whacked up sleeping schedule. I know it's possible for stress to delay a period, which I know is still a possibility, but is it also possible that some of my PMS symptoms could dwindle under stress or elongate? I haven't noticed any spotting, breast tenderness, or any of that so far. I am just getting panicky. But I'm not sure what to think. Any insight? Thank you

I had protected (condom) sex 10 days ago, around when i was supposed to ovulate according to the tracker on my phone (I don't know how accurate the tracker is... I just started using it this past month) and then again three days ago... I originally freaked out because i felt guilty it happened and was making up symptoms in my head. And now I think it's happening again... I know stressing makes your period late, but how can i stop stressing when that's on my mind? I got really sore after both times and my shoulders, back hurt and still do form the second time. I can;t tell if it's my chest/shoudlers that are sore or my boobs but something there is sore. I guess I just need coping techniques, and I'm going to get on the pill asap.

I've tried testing my CM but although my period is coming soon it's not visible when I actually test it, but when I test it's not dry either.
