So, I've missed my period by 13 days and I'm kind of worried. I was visiting my husband, and we had protected sex from December 4th to 5th. My period usually comes every 32 to 35 days, and it should have been between the 15th to 17th. I'm feeling the usual PMS symptoms like dull pain in my lower back and thighs. Do you think I could be pregnant or is there something else I should be concerned about? What should I do next?
