Question Posted Wednesday October 15 2008, 3:23 am
Hey guys :) Well I'm 16 years old [Just turned 16 in August] and I've been with my current boyfriend since June '08. We've always had protected sex except once on August 14th [2 days before my birthday]. So my last period was on August 1st and since my periods are irregular at times, I counted 30 days after my last period to try and figure out when my expected period would be. Which would have been August 31st. I didn't get my period then and I didn't get it in September at all either. It's already half way through October and I haven't gotten it nor have I had signs of it coming. I did some research and it said I was ovulating at the time I had unprotected sex making it a 15% chance of me being pregnant. I'm just wondering if it's possible that I could be pregnant or maybe my period is just being really delayed. Also, When should I test for pregnancy if I do decide to? Thanks in advance for your advice :)
p.s.
My periods have never been this irregular, I normally just miss one, but not two.

With how long you've missed, its entirely possible and even somewhat likely. You had sex literally two weeks after a period, which is when you are most fertile. You had it unprotected.
Get a test. If its positive, go to a gyno.
If its not, wait a week and take another. If its still negative and you still havent gotten your period, call a gyno and explain the situation, but after all this time if you get two negative tests you probably aren't pregnant.

As far as your period goes, pregnancy is just one of the possible reasons why you havent been getting it. If you changed your diet recently or if you have gained or lost weight, it could affect your period. Also a huge factor is sress. If youve been under a lot of stress recently- from school, homework, ect- that could really affect your period.
