Really important. Question about late period?!
I am a female and I am almost 15. Please do not tell me how stupid I am for letting this happen because I know I am. I really need help. A few days ago (last weekend) me and my boyfriend I guess you could say we had sex? It was in and we were doing things, but he pulled out before he came.. I am late for my period now it normally comes on the 7th and it's now the 9th. I am really nervous and I want to know if I'm just overreacting or if I should go get a pregnancy test? How long would I have to wait from when we did it to take one? Someone please help :'(

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
First of all, do not panic. If this is your first time having sex, do not panic. Periods are late for a variety of reasons: stress, anxiety, sex for the first time, and pregnancy. I found out I was pregnant in three weeks. I would wait until you are at least a week and a half late. However, your anxiety about being late can further delay your period. You just need to take a deep breath and relax. If you are pregnant you will have other symptoms come into play. When I first found out I was pregnant, my first indicator was sore nipples. Then I was constipated, and 24 hour nausea kicked in. Although it is minimally possible that you are pregnant, it is highly unlikely that the egg and sperm would have been made that quickly.

While every women's fertile period is a bit different form each other, 80% of women are most fertile during a 14 day period in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Given what you wrote it is possible that you are pregnant; I will explain why it could be.
Even though your boyfriend pulled out before ejaculating. At some point during the intercourse he emitted a small amount of fluid. This fluid is a lubricant and in the fluid is semen, enough semen to impregnate a women.
The male does not, in most instances even feel this fluid being emitted when it happens. This is why the pull out method of birth control is the least reliable.
As for a home test kit. There are some test kit for which you may be in the window that they can detect a pregnancy. I would suggest you go to a drug store and look at the labels on different test kits. Purchase more than one kit for there are more false positive than false negatives with these kits. If you get a positive wait 5 more days and test again.
Additional information you should know: Being 15 you are now old enough to be covered under a law called HIPPA. This law gives you total confidentiality and control over your reproductive health; this is a Federal Law.
What this means is you by this law can seek a doctors help for any condition related to your reproductive health with or without parental permission or knowledge. Your parents never need to and can never be told why you are seeing a doctor or what you are being treated for without your expressed written permission.
Your mother can no longer be in an exam room with you without your permission either. All you need to say to any doctor is you invoke your rights under HIPPA and mom will be asked to wait in the waiting room.
Should you be pregnant this law makes it totally you choice as to whether to have the baby, abort the pregnancy or to give up the baby for adoption when born. Your parents cannot force a decision on you in regard to a pregnancy as it is covered under HIPPA as it is a reproductive health issue.
should the home test be positive then seek a doctors test for proper confirmation. Once you are sure then it is your choice. Once you decide then it is also your choice as to whether to inform you parents or not based on what you decide.
There is one other possibility: By being stressed over whether or not you are pregnant. The stress could upset your normal cycle. It happens quite a bit to young women and stress in older women such as your mom will upset their cycle too.
Hopefully you are not pregnant, If you are not under the rules of HIPPA you are old enough to ask for birth control medication with out parental permission and the doctor must write a prescription for it when asked. I would suggest since you are sexually active that you do so. Also always make the boy use a condom. Under the same HIPPA law he can purchase them if he is over 14 and no one will challenge him. Not only do condoms provide extra birth control they protect against many of the STDS and the HIV/AIDS virus.
