Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
venesaw10 is correct. The only way to tell for certain is to take a home pregnancy test. There are a number of reasons you can miss your period other than pregnancy. One is stress, the others would include being ill during your cycle that could throw you off cycle. Certain medications including prescriptions and over the counter medications can throw you off your cycle as well as illegal drug use. Excessive exercise is another reason to miss your period.
In general most women are most fertile during the middle 14 days of their cycle. This would be true for about 80% of women. The remaining 20% are found to be fertile at any point in their cycle including during their period.
Being fertile is when you ovulate and your ovary ejects an egg. There is a very small window of time when this egg can be fertilized by a sperm. Since sperm lives for 3 days if you have had sex within 3 days of this window it is possible that you can get pregnant if you have not used some form of birth control.
Just FYI: The pull out method of birth control has the biggest failure rate as the male emits a small amount of fluid during intercourse which contains semen. The male is unaware of when this fluid is emitted as it is not ejaculated it just flows out as a lubricant. Most call this pre-cum. This fluid has enough semen in it to make a fertile women pregnant which is why the pull out method has a high failure rate as a form of birth control.
A condom is 85 % effective when worn correctly and is effective in protecting against the transmission of many STDS. The birth control pill is considered 99% effective and when used with a condom is as close to 100% effective in preventing pregnancy as you can get. Until you are in a long term, monogamous relationship for which you have both been tested for STDS and AIDS you should always make your partner use a condom.
If you are over 14 a Federal Law called HIPPA allows for you to ask your doctor for birth control medication with or without parental permission. You also do not need parental permission to see a doctor for anything related to your reproductive system. These visits, treatment and any questions you may have for the doctor are totally confidential. Your parents cannot be told without your written permission under penalty of a 5 year jail term for the doctor or anyone in their employ who violates this confidence.

in medicine its never 100% so the only way to know for certain will be for a test.
