you probably still have the same chance of getting pregnant as everyone else, but using a condom and pulling out gives you almost a 0% chance of getting pregnant. but still, things can happen like the condom can break so it's always better to be on birth control just in case. and never have sex without a condom, even if he pulls out. yes you can get pregnant from pre-cum but there is very little chance that his pre-cum is gonna make it through his shorts, through your clothes, and inside you haha. so you should be fine. i started taking birth control about a year ago and it made me gain a few pounds, but nothing too noticeable. if you want to go on birth control without your mom knowing then go to planned parenthood. good luck!

Since I answered your questions about pre-cum, infertility, and irregular periods I suppose I'll just talk about birth control pills for a moment.
Hormonal birth control pills affect different women in different ways.
On average, a woman only gains about 10lbs while on the pill.
For me, I lost weight. I lost about 20lbs when I first started taking birth control pills. I was about 13 year old at the time.
For my friend, she didn't gain any weight or lose any weight. She was about 15 or 16 year olds when she got on the pill.
In the whole scheme of things, if you actually did gain the full 10 possible pounds then it, most definitely, wouldn't make you "fat."
If you diet and exercise properly then you shouldn't really notice much of a weight increase at all. If you give into your monthly cravings of sugars, salts, and unhealthy snacks then, yeah, you're going to gain some weight.

You aren't likely to be infertile.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome tends to cause ovulation problems. The egg is only released every once in awhile because of a hormonal imbalance that affects cyst growth on ovaries. It usually isn't too alarming in young women, and, at fifteen, you likely don't have that.
There could very well be a hormonal imbalance that is preventing your uterine lining to be shed properly. This doesn't mean your eggs aren't released and that you can't get pregnant though. It just would mean the tissue in your womb isn't as healthy or renewed as another woman's. Sometimes this is associated with endometriosis or uterine fibroids--both which are treatable.
If you're underweight or have a relatively low weight. The body doesn't send a signal if you are lacking the proper amount of bodyfat. A lot of 15 year olds are too thin for their bodies to ovulate properly. A typical woman should have about 20% to 25% body fat to be considered healthy. Anything lower than about 15-17% body fat you may notice a lack of menstruation because hormonal functions cease.
Not ovulating every month doesn't really mean you're infertile. It means the chances of pregnancy to occur are lowered, but not nonexistent. Unfortunately, we can't even say that ovulation is your problem. You may be ovulating just fine but just not shedding uterine lining as you should be.
Heck, there are PLENTY of women who have TRIED to get pregnant for 10+ years and then, magically, they wind up with a bundle of joy on the way. The female reproductive organs are funny like that.
You should really get checked out by a doctor for this. If it's gone on for 2 years then you may have a hormonal problem that is easily treatable and can cause your cycles to come more regularly. Not shedding uterine lining is really not good, actually. You won't die or anything, of course, but it isn't really good for the body. We'd meant to shed that each month if we aren't pregnant.
Birth control pills should only make a person gain about 10lbs, on average, if any. Some women end up losing weight (I did). Others end up staying a stable weight (my friend did). And others gain up to about 10lbs. No big deal, and with proper diet and exercise you can keep that weight from being packed on in the first place.
Yes, you can get pregnant from precum. While a full ejaculation can contain as many as 100 million sperm at a time, the sperm count within pre-ejaculate can be as many as a few million. It takes one to get your pregnant. If you vagina doesn't come in contact with the pre-ejaculatory fluid on your boyfriends pants then it isn't even a concern of pregnancy, really.
It's time to see a doctor. There is a misconception that women should wait until age 18 or until they start having sex to see a gynecologist. This is wrong. A woman should have a yearly check-up once she begins menstruating. It helps to keep up on things in the early stages. It helps to make sure hormonal balances are kept and that everything is healthy. See if your mother will let you talk to a doctor about the missing cycles. Something is going on inside of you. It isn't normal to go so many months without a period.
ANY time ANY woman misses a period for 3 months or longer it is time to see a doctor. It doesn't matter if you're a virgin or not, young or old, black or white. It's time to get this checked out.
