My period is 6 days late....?

I'm 17. I am sexually active but I always use a condom but now my period is 6 days late. But I am discharging a bit and my boobs do hurt slightly.

I am aware that stress and worrying can delay your period but for how long? please help.

    Periods can be irregular depending on the hormone levels in a females body. Although it is good to be conscious of the risk that you might be pregnant, many times young females will see signs when there aren't any from stress or fear of pregnancy simply because they are looking for them and the become more aware of their body and feel more sensations.

    The best thing you can do is wait. The hormone required for a urination test can take a while to appear in the urine. You could be pregnant and get false when in fact you simply haven't waited long enough. It's frustrating to wait with the fear, but give it time. The best is generally 10-14 days after you have had intercourse. After that the chemical should appear in your urine. If it is false then it is 100% false at that point.

    Dont worry about anything. Sometimes everyday stress can cause your hormones to mess up. Having a late period happens to every woman at least once. Just give it a few days Im sure it will show. If it doesnt then (still dont panic) go to your doctor to get checked out. There are tons of reasons for late periods. Pregnancy is one of them yes, but there are many more.

    That's normal. My period has been 6 days late before too. I wouldn't worry unless it's been more than a week. Periods can fluctuate based on diet, exercise, stress, and hormonal changes. They don't always act the same. They can come early, late, or be on time. The flow can be different. You can experience cramps and sometimes not. Like I said, I wouldn't worry until it's been more than a week.
