Answer
Dear Susan,

Again, you will have to test for pregnancy. I understand that you are worried and scared about this, but putting it off will not help or make it go away. And it may be negative and related to the stress you are dealing with. But to know for sure, you will need to test as I said.

As far as why you may have had your period at the "wrong" time, it may have been stimulated by the beginning of sexual activity due to hormones that are released and cervical stimulation. This is not uncommon.

Go ahead and test - try to stay as calm and level-headed as possible. Stress can delay your period as well, so if you aren't pregnant, you can actually be delaying the period by the excessive stressing!  :-)

Hope that helps! Be well.

Brenda
