Pregnancy concern?
I'm female, and 18 years old.
My last period finished around the 30th March. A little over two weeks after that I became sexually active for the first time with my boyfriend - I'm still a virgin, but during that time we basically did everything bar actual sex (oral and 'hand jobs', both giving and recieving). We were careful - we made sure there was never any actual genital contact; most of the time at least one of us was wearing underwear, and on the couple of occasions that this was not the case, as I said, we made sure to keep a distance. Before we went to sleep, we definitely made sure that at least one of us was wearing underwear, to make sure there was no accidental contact when we slept.
My periods, annoyingly enough, have always been irregular, and it's actually pretty normal for me to go for a couple of months without actually having a period (sometimes I even experience PMS and cramps without actually having one until the next month, which can be particularly irritating)! So, normally I wouldn't be at all worried about the fact that I'm late, if it weren't for the aforementioned sexual activity. I haven't experienced any symptons of pregnancy, though I know that these vary from woman to woman, and I'd only be three or four weeks into it if I was anyway, but I am somewhat concerned.
My hymen is intact - is it even possible to get get pregnant if this is the case? (if only sex education were better in British schools, then I'm sure I'd know this..)
Help?

Hi
I have answered questions like this many times, but I feel the need to get the knowledge out there.
My best friend in high school got pregnant without having sex! I know this is hard to believe, and although very unlikely, it is possible.
Anytime you involve yourself in sexual activity, you take the chance of becoming pregnant, or contracting an STI.
Chances are, you aren't pregnant, but please always be careful.
Take care,

Sometimes if you stress about possibly being pregnant it can make you miss a period, but since yours are irregular anyways I'd say you have nothing to worry about. I'm going to chance saying a definite answer to this question, which I normally don't do. You aren't pregnant.
Yes, you can get pregnant if your hymen is intact, but you are not. Don't worry about it, you were being very safe in what you did.
Hope this helps!
Love,

There is a 99% chance that you're not pregnant.
I would say give it another month, and if you are still late or start feeling ill in the morning, get a pregnancy test done.
If you're freaked out, you could get it done now.
Yes, it is possible to get pregnant even if your hymen is intact (are you sure it is, even? Many girls lose it during physical activities and don't even know it's not there anymore)
I would recommend you start on Birth Control anyway, even though you're not having intercourse, just to be safe. I used to have the same irregular period problem as you and Birth Control regulates them so you don't get any "surprises".
And I hope you both were tested before you started fooling around, STDs/STIs aren't always transferred from sex. Hepatitis can be acquired from drinks and herpes from toilet seats. Ick, I know.
