Okay, this is going to be a little long, but at least it's going to have correct grammar. My boyfriend and I have had sex twice since the last time I had my period. We used condoms both times, and nothing bad happened.I usually start around the 30th, but it's the 5th now.I've done my research (on this site and others) and I don't think I'm pregnant.Last week, I moved back to college. I'm also in the process of changing my major. Both events are very stressful for me.Also last week, I had a sore throat and headaches and whatnot. This week, I have flu-like symptoms.The campus I live on is also pretty hilly, so I'm doing more exercise than I'm used to.I'm pretty sure these are all factors in my late/missed period. I know you have a lot of questions about basically the same thing, but my boyfriend is really freaking out. Basically, I want to make sure I'm not just making up excuses, and I'm not crazy.Thank you so much.

Yet another "Am I pregnant?" question.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that when I was supposed to start my period, there was some brownish discharge, like I was going to start. But then it stopped two days later. This is what worries me the most.

Sometime women skip their periods especially if there is a lot of stress going on in their lives as you described. The browninsh discharge is a normal precursor to menstrual flow. If you are still worried, get a pregnancy test.

Thank you. I told my boyfriend that if I didn't start again by this weekend when I come home, we'll get a pregnancy test.

That sounds reasonable. If he's a worrier it should calm him down a bit.
