Could I be pregnant?
The last time I had sex was back in mid-August, 2 days before I got my period. I've gotten it both in August and September. I always have it around the 17th and I'm never late. But for this month, I still haven't gotten it. So is it possible that I could be pregnant?
And...
Is it true that sometimes for the first couple months of your pregnancy you can still get your period, because your body is adjusting to your pregnancy.

Let me clear something up, yes, it is true that some women continue to have a period even though they are pregnant. BUT, it is not a full-blown period, is it usually lighter than your regular period. Anywhere from 20-30% of women experience some degree of bleeding in early pregnancy. (First trimester)Approximately half of pregnant women who bleed do not have miscarriages. Approximately 15-20% of all pregnancies result in a miscarriage, and the majority occur during the first 12 weeks. Bleeding beyond the first trimester indicates problems with the pregnancy.
Bleeding can occur in early pregnancy due to the following factors, aside from the above mentioned complications:
Implantation bleeding is one of many normal pregnancy symptoms and can occur anywhere from 6-12 days after possible conception. Every woman will experience implantation bleeding differently—some will lightly spot for a few hours, while others may have some light spotting for a couple of days.
Some type of infection in the pelvic cavity or urinary tract may cause bleeding.
After intercourse some women may bleed because the cervix is very tender and sensitive. You should discontinue intercourse until you have been seen by your doctor. This is to prevent any further irritation—having normal sexual intercourse does not cause a miscarriage.
So, yes, you could still be pregnant, but your chances are pretty low. Your late period could be due to stress, worry, eating changes, weight changes, or just your body being off. It is not uncommon for girls to be off in their cycle once in a while. If you want, take a test to be sure.

well you can get your period while pregnant but it is rare and ushally means you have had a misscarriage however considering that you had it those first two months and not the third i would just say you were late. but you should take a test anyway. your period is your body getting rid of and unused egg and other things used to build a baby. if people get there period while pregnant they should see a docter as soon as possiable. i am pregnant myself and found it very easy to tell even withouta test that i was one i was super moody my first 3 months and i am a skipper so i am used to not haveing my period.then i home tested and found out for sure.

Contraceptives are never 100% as we know, so if you are sexually active, there's always a possibility.
Yes it is true that you can still have a period and be pregnant. My cousin had a period up until her fourth month, didn't even know she was pregnant. So the safest thing for you to do is go get checked out. Make an appointment, just to be sure. Better to be safe than sorry. If you don't want your parents to know, there are places like Planned Parenthood you can go to.
If you are, and want to keep it, its best that you find out now, so that you can take the proper precautions. Good Luck.
