I'm very confused as to where my period is...?
Hi there,
I was just wondering if anyone out there would be able to help me out here... I'm 16 years old and have been in an active sexual relationship for the past three months, and today is exactly 8 days after my period should be due. I know straight away that's ringing alarm bells for pregnancy and what not, so on the first day my period was due I took a home pregnancy test which told me I wasn't pregnant. Obviously I was relieved, but my period still had not come. I took another home pregnancy test (different brand as well), 4 days later and again the result was not pregnant. By this stage I wasn't worrying too much, just waiting for my period to come (which it still hasn't) but today is the 8th day after I am due for my period. I took another pregnancy test (a different brand to the previous two) about half an hour ago, and yet again the result is not pregnant.
Now, I guess I'm getting a little paranoid.. where is my period and why is it so late?
About one week after my last period, I had taken the morning after pill after suspicion the condom might have leaked. I haven't received it since then, it couldn't be a side effect could it?
Also, I'm noticing a bit of a discharge in my underwear that smells slightly of chlorine... please help :)

Well it's good to hear your using protection, and took the morning after pill when you had an accident. You took 3 tests and they were all negative? I'd say that was a pretty sure conclusion, as to your missing period. Sometimes stress of thinking we're pregnant etc actually makes our period come later. Or stress for other reasons. I'd go to the doctor and say my period is late, but I did pregnancy tests and they were negative. Also plan B can mess your cycle a bit, it didn't for me but I hear for others it does.

Naturally your body can shift its cycle from 24-36 days; however, taking the morning after pill may be the culprit as to why your period hasn't started. If you were pregnant, you would have a positive test by now. Go ahead and make an appointment with your gynecologist for a basic check. You might want to consider long term b/c like an IUD (good for 5 yrs) or depo-provera(3months at a time).

Take a urine pregnancy test 15 days after you miss your period.
Or
You can get your blood checked for pregnancy today.
