How many days late before you should wonder? (Ladies only, I'm talking about menstration)?

Ok, my period has been on a 20-24 day cycle for as long as I can remember. As of the 15th of Dec, according to my cycle (I keep track of it monthly so I know), I should have started my period about 4 or 5 days ago, but I haven't. I'm going to give it a few more days... When should I start to wonder if I am pregnant?

I can say with about 100% positivity that I have been under waaaaaaaay more stress than this and haven't been late, I'm always early!

I am going to wait until Monday (my boyfriend has been gone east for almost 2 weeks), if there isn't anything yet, then I'm going to get a test.

Yep - take a test. They are really sensitive now, but take in the morning. If you are nauseous, tender breasts, etc. -- somehow you just know sometimes.

PurpleUmbrella	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM My cycle varies from 28 to 38 days. But I would take a test! Are you feeling anything else, sore boobs, smelling more sensitive, bit queezy in the belly? Rated: +1Vote for this!
wakeupkaren	Posted Dec 20th, 2008 at 8:17AM I've skipped a couple of months before. Have you been stressed? Or had a change in diet? Say like a weight gain or serious drop in weight? Been ill? If so, no worries. But a pregnancy test can never hurt. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Wife3	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM Hi, My name is Gabrielle O'Neil and I was reading your question, Well if you have been keeping track of you period times every month and you know that you were suppos to start a couple of day's ago (or week?) then I would tell you to get a pregncey test, Cause really if you don't want to wonder then just take a test and it will tell you. That's what I did. Rated: +1Vote for this!
BettyValentine	Posted Dec 20th, 2008 at 8:18AM There are many reaons why our period can suddenly change cycle or be 'late'. It most likely isn't pregnancy, but it's never to early to make sure! Rated: +1Vote for this!
