This means that for all you know, your body has already released the egg to be fertilized. Since you have absolutely no idea if you have or haven't then you won't even know when your period is late! In this case, having sex before menstruation if scarier than having sex and waiting for your period to come a few weeks later.
Yes, there have been plenty of cases were girls became pregnant and had never had their first menstruation beforehand.
Some women start their periods a little later in life. Any time between the ages of 10 and 18 seem to be the usual times. I started my period when I was 11, I believe, while some girls on here haven't started theirs at age 16. Every body is different in when it will begin menstruation; however, nobody can predict when you will start (some people say if your mother started early you will but that is not true at all).
The average age for women to start menstruating is now 12. Any time around the age, or after that age, you're already risking pregnancy. There have even been cases of NINE year olds having their periods.
Personally, I know many people who became impregnated the same night they lost their virginity even. Some were on birth control even so that alone shows the ineffectiveness of it. So, even virgins can become pregnant--even when using birth control!
Lastly, you have to keep in mind that even virgins can have STDs. Many people contract STDs as infants and live with them their entire lives thinking that everything is healthy (and then they have a STD test one day and find shocking results). Many people contract STDs in childhood from kissing and what-not.
Nobody is safe now from pregnant and STDs it seems like. It's really worth it to just keep your legs closed.
