Yes, it really is! It's just "sitting there" but won't come. I can't possibly be pregnant unless I am the .1 percent that condoms fail. I have taken on more exercise so that might be it. I'm probably about six days late. Any insight?

What can I do next?

Every 6 months or so my period would be about a week late... it was strange because then it would go back to 28 days... It was like my body was resetting itself...

otherwise... EPT?

exercise will effect your period, some woman who exercise alot can actually stop having them all together so that may be what it is. I would take a test just to be sure. My periods will be normal sometimes and then other times im early or late, ive stopped even keeping track of mine because of this.

Are there any other signs of pregnancy. Condoms do fail so you should take a pregnancy test to be sure. Are you on birth control. Sometimes periods can really irregular.

Condoms actually have closer to an 85% success rate. So you could very easily be in the 15% that it failed with.

I thought condoms had a much higher failure rate than that.

Yes, that .1% is only if you use condoms 100% correctly 100% of the time, which possibly you do, but it's a lofty goal!

Do you feel like your period is coming...or you totally feel normal and you haven't gotten it yet. I think that possibly a HPT would be a good idea just to make sure, although your period could definitely be late because of stress or other factors. Are you usually on time every month? If you are like clockwork, then yes, take a test!!

Probably the change in exercise. And it's not uncommon to skip a period every now and then. If you haven't started in a few more days, I would take a preg test just to rule that out and put your mind at ease.

Condoms fail way more often thatn that. I would get a pregnancy test. Are you having some mild cramping?

Yeah... my son is a product of condoms, spermacide, and the pill.

But periods often cease and desist under stress (including dieting and excitement and sleep dep and, and, and... any kind of stress maintained for a long period of time), or get wacky.
