My period is usually never late, but this month it’s 4 days delayed. I’m giving myself a headache thinking about it and stressing out, but I also don’t have the courage to take a test. What if the result is positive? My boyfriend and I had an unprotected moment a while ago, but he didn’t take it seriously. Do you think I should take the test or wait a little longer?
“You say I’m being careless here, but your boyfriend probably brushed it off saying ‘nothing will happen’. And since you’re stressing out, why are you so hesitant to take the test? It’s like you’re avoiding something other than the result, girl?”
What did you mean when you said your partner “didn’t care”? What kind of attitude did they exactly have? Because I think this guy’s approach has been effective in your decision right now 
I had a similar situation where my period was 5 days late. I was scared to take a test, but I finally did it, and it came back negative. Then I realized that my stress was what delayed my period. If you take a test without all that tension, you might feel more at ease 
Honestly, most women panic after unprotected intercourse, but the delay may not necessarily be due to pregnancy. Stress can also cause delays on its own. But of course, there’s no other solution but a test to know for sure.
The moment you say your partner “doesn’t care,” I think their attitude is problematic. Even your stress can affect your period, but it’s not nice for them to completely leave it up to you in such a serious situation. They should have taken their own responsibility.
Update: Actually, my partner and I haven’t talked much about this issue. I expressed my concerns, but they just said, “Relax, nothing will happen.” But I can’t handle this ease. I’m thinking about taking the test, but I still can’t bring myself to do it. 
A test can be done after a 4-day delay, and the result is likely to be accurate. If it’s negative and your period still hasn’t started, you can take another test a week later. It’s important to take a correct step while being this stressed.
