I stumbled across this thread via a Google search and am in a similar situation, now looking for some other people's insights/experiences to hopefully put my mind at ease!
I had sex on June 18. It was protected with a condom (I'm not on the Pill though) and to the best of my knowledge no cum escaped...but I guess you never know! My period was due that day but didn't come until the 20th. My average cycle is 31 days but my periods are frequently a day or two late, so that wasn't a big deal.
My July period was due on the 21st, and now it's the 25th and still no period. I've been having lower back cramps the past few days and was extremely mood swingy/irritable about half a week ago, so i thought my period was going to come soon, but I guess not! And I know lower back pains and irritability/moodiness are also early pregnancy signs, so that has just added to my worry.
I had a severe case of strep throat soon after my June period and was on antibiotics and everything. I am thinking this illness delayed my ovulation, therefore delaying my period. How late does illness usually cause a period to be?
Also I thought I was entirely safe since I got my June period, but then I thought about that maybe my period would have come anyway even if I had conceived on the 18th since my period was so close to coming... if I had gotten pregnant on the 18th would my June period still have come? I'm not quite sure how that works.
Please pray that my period comes, I'm definitely not ready for a baby!! I've never had unprotected sex though so I'm fairly certain it's just late or even missed due to illness, but I guess there's always that possibility... Thanks!
