Help Am I just worrying to much?
My boyfriend at the time and I were having sex, used a condom, but cummed twice in one session. I checked the cobdom to see if it would leak but it didn't. This was on November 2nd. I don't remember when I had my period last but it was weeks before that date. Now it's two plus months later and I still don't have my period. I have no signs of pregnancy. And my period is never on time. Am I just worrying to much

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Stress will cause you to miss a period. Of course the younger you are the more likely your periods are going to be irregular. Stress caused by worry over whether you pregnant is more than enough stress to cause a missed period.
If you are over 14 years of age, hopefully you are much older, you can purchase a home test kit which is what I suggest you do. Follow the package directions and test. If the results are negative you have nothing to worry about. If you want to double check the accuracy of the test wait ten days and test again. If the results are the same you are not pregnant.
NOTE: Since you are sexually active and hopefully 14 or older you can get birth control medication without parental permission if you want it.
Under a Federal Law called HIPPA Congress gave people 14 and older limited Medical Confidentiality. This Medical Confidentiality is limited to the Reproductive System. This was done so young people would seek medical advice for questions and problems concerning their reproductive systems they might be too embarrassed to go to their parents with.
Under this law a parent may not be in the exam room while a reproductive exam is being given. For a female this means mom cannot be in the room during any physical as it normally involves examination of the female reproductive system. You cannot be forced to have any examination of your reproductive system or have an abortion if pregnant. It is your body your call.
You need not fight with mom over any physical she wants you to have just inform the doctor you invoke your rights under HIPPA. Mom will be asked to leave the room. The doctor will not perform any exam you do not wish to have and the doctor cannot share any information about any exam or treatment relating to your reproductive system. To do so by the doctor or a member of staff will result in a fine and or 5 years in jail.
Because of this law you can ask for birth control medication and the doctor must supply it unless their are medical reasons not to. The pharmacist is under the same guidelines regarding any prescriptions. You must give written permission for the release of any information regarding your reproductive medical treatment. Once you reach age 18 your parent no longer have any legal right to your medical information at all even if you are still on their health insurance because you are legally and adult at age 18.

Your age would play into my answer.
If a teen, it can take quite a few years until a teens cycle becomes regular. Mine was all over the place, twice a month or nothing for 2,3 months and at a young age, this is actually normal and not an indication of anything wrong.
The symptoms under which my GYN told me to come in to see them other than my yearly appt. is when I had sharp, severe pains, heavy bleeding that wouldn't stop and and foul odor to any discharge.
The only other reason to see your GYN is if you are in your 20's and you continue to have irregular periods. Your hormone count may be too low or some other thing missing from your body that causes the irregular cycles. Take a pregnancy test for now to be sure you are not pregnant for peace of mind, because other than being late for period, some women don't get the usual signs of pregnancy straight off, I never did. Then I suggest going to see a doctor to get checked out for what is causing irregular cycles.
Again, irregular cycles in the beginning when hormones of puberty first come on is normal as well as when the hormones leave in menopause. I had the same irregularity of cycles during menopause.

Well you said your period is never on time and it's been two months.
This might not be pregnancy, but there is something going on that you need to get checked out.
I'd first take a pregnancy test, make sure you're not pregnant. Then go see a gynecologist and get checked out and fix your problem.
