Late Period...UTI...pregnancy?... 18 years old and scared.?


Question:
HELP! There are usually about 25 days between my period. But last month there were 33 days. This month, it has been 30 days since my last period and it still hasn't come. It's very late! I recently started having sex, about a week after my LAST months period was over. I've been peeing a lot, sometimes it feels like a lot, and it's usually not. At times it burns just a little, not much at all. I'm hoping it's a UTI and i'm not pregnant because we have only had sex 3 times and all times were with protection. We checked during to make sure the condom didn't break or anything, hopefully we didn't just miss it. ALSO, I have been under a lot of stress in the past month or so, too...due to just starting college and arguments with roomates. I recently just got a job which I was waiting about a month for so I was wondering if stress may have something to do with it. Ive been eating fast food a lot lately too.Ive been worrying myself to death hoping im not pregnant! Someone please answer fast...

Answers:
Of course, I don't know for sure, but I think you are NOT pregnant. I'll tell ya why. First of all, you are not VERY late yet. You said that last month was 33 days, right? It sounds like you had sex at a "safe" time of month and condoms, unless broken, are pretty darned reliable. Stress about your job, your roomates, and especially about being pregnant will have a HUGE affect on your body. Just relax, have a glass of wine and think positively.
I am 48 now but when I was 19 and in my second year of college I started having sex with my boyfriend. I, like you, freaked because I was late the following month. I was home with my parents over Thanksgiving vacation and couldn't be myself at all, so afraid that I'd have to quit school and have a baby. I was in love with my boyfriend, but not ready for that! Anyway, after about a week of no show, my bf and I went to a concert. There, for the first time in a week, I relaxed and stopped thinking about it for a few hours. Guess what? I started at that concert.
It's weird and hard to believe how much our bodies are in tune with our moods and stresses. Just recently, my son moved in with his father. I didn't have a period the entire time he was gone, but had never skipped before in my life. After verifying that I wasn't pregnant, I assumed I was starting menopause. 6 months later, the day he moved back in with me, my period started again!
It sounds like you are very scared. In the future, be very very careful. You don't want to go thru this every month!
Ok..first off if you don't want to get preggo, don't have sex. Second..if it burns when you pee that is a sign of a UTI, go to the dr and get some help.
Stress will cause changes in your cycle.
