Well, being honest, I am 16 years old/M my girlfriend is 17/Fm. Any who we've have sex twice now both our first times. The first time we had sex she skipped her period for over month, This time shes late, or at least I think she is. Shes getting a "very light period" so she says, I'm curious if she may be pregnant being as though it took so long for her period to start. I'm not really worried at all, but she is, (She was also worried the first time we had sex.) (Yes we use condoms) But anyway she is like I said earlier getting a light period and I think that means shes not pregnant. She also says, its never been this light before? Help me out so I can put her at ease please? :( Its been around 16 days since sex, and her period skips around a lot.

If she is then the chances of her being pregnant are very very slim (especially as you used condoms). It does sound like she's not though because of her irregular periods, but i wouldn't mind betting your still not pregnant. Ask her if she wants to go on the pill if she's not already? This can also make your periods regular, helps with period pains, and much more - not just contraception. Don't stop using condoms though!
Sageadvisor answered Friday March 5 2010, 7:42 am: You're right that she's probably not pregnant, but I agree - no harm in getting a pregnancy test. They're not very expensive and it'll put your minds at ease. In the future, you might consider adding ovulation timing - the "rhythm method" - to your condom use. The rhythm method is a relatively high-risk contraceptive strategy by itself, but in combination with condom use it can be pretty effective. And maybe before long your girlfriend can go on the pill! Anyway, good luck.
The 'rhythm method' just timing sex so it's as far away from her monthly ovulation as possible. Ovulation is usually somewhere around the middle of the cycle - i.e. about halfway between her periods - but exactly where it usually falls is different for every girl. There are ways of figuring this out by measuring body temperature and mucus thickness - you can google it. But bottom line, it only IMPROVES your chances of not getting pregnant - it's not foolproof. So add it to condoms. [ Sageadvisor's advice column | Ask Sageadvisor A Question ]
MissYMelisS answered Thursday March 4 2010, 11:47 pm: Okay, she just lost her virginity. It can be a very stressful time in your life. Your period can be affected by a number of different things. First stress can cause you to skip ur period, or have it come late.
If you've used condoms she's probably nto pregnant, but double check, go buy a pregnancy test, you dont have to be a certain age to buy them i promise. [ MissYMelisS's advice column | Ask MissYMelisS A Question ]
