Could I be pregnant?

My boyfriend and I have had sex a few times but we always use condoms. According to my calender, today is my 20th cycle day and when I usually get my period. I am starting to freak out that I may in fact be pregnant.
Is it too early to get a home pregnancy test?

Hey Katie,

Try to relax. There are many factors that could cause you to miss your period...stress is one of them! If you've been properly using a condom every time, the likelihood that you are pregnant is very, very low.

However, if you're worried, you may take an at-home pregnancy test two weeks after you had the sex that may have gotten you pregnant.

Take care! If you need anything, just let me know. :)

Just because you're not exactly on the right day doesn't mean anything. I can never figure out when I'm due. My periods aren't settled at all.

However, I've had scares before. The only way to be 100% sure is to take a pregnancy test.
Leave it a day or two, and it should be alright. It says on the packet either way.

Wait a week... If you don't get your period by then. Take a test and go from there. If you've been safe and used condoms correctly each time, I doubt you're pregnant.

Don't freak out! :)
Periods are not only bad because of PMS, cramps, etc but because they love to mess with us. It's really not unusual for them to a day early to a couple days late. There are so many factors that cause all that. Stress, diet, exercise, lack of sleep, too much sleep, if you've been sick, or just because your period was lazy haha.
I would just chill out. If you don't get it in the next two days, I would just buy a home pregnancy test.

Best wishes!
