If you've only had your period once in all this time, something is not right.
Like everyone has said, you need to set yourself an appointment with an OB/GYN. Your reproductive system is their specialty.

I don't think you can get pregnant if you haven't had a period in 4 years, but I am not a doctor, so don't quote me on that. =]
But the other answers are correct in that you probably should see a doctor as to why you aren't getting your period.
Were you very active in sports? Or are you underweight? These are 2 possible reasons for not getting your period. You should have your doctor check you out to make sure it's nothing serious.

If youve only had one period ever, and havent had one in 4 years, you should deffinately go see a doctor. Irregular periods are common, but this is past the point of irregularity.

Even someone with an irregular period can get pregnant. But if you've only had 1 period at 17 you really need to see the doctor. Also, any girl who is sexually active (which apparently you are) or who is over the age of 18, should be getting your yearly exam. Even young, you are still at risk for cancer.
FYI - you can't really tell when you are ovulating - you might have slight, basically unnoticable symptoms and those ovulating kits are not always reliable. Don't rely on any to prevent pregnancy!!

You should really talk to your doctor about this rather than an online advice site. Because after all your doctor knows more about you than any one here who could help you. Having your period regularly means you're healthy. At least that's what my mother always told me [: But just talk to your doctor about this, and I'm sure he/she will be able to help you. Good luck.
