2 weeks late on my period
I have sex for the first time 4 weeks ago. Used a condom but he didn't get the chance to release anyways because someone walked in. I am now 2 weeks late on my period and it's literally impossible to be pregnant. Sometimes I feel like it's about to happen but it's always a false alarm. Please help me figure this out..
I'm 18 and from Canada

I don't think you are pregnant. Counting backward from now to when you had sex would put you at the very beginning of your fertile time. I will explain.
For about 85% of women with a 28 day cycle they are fertile during period from the 7th to 21st day of their cycle. It is during this time that you ovulate. Sometime during these 14 days is when your ovary ejects an egg. If you have sex 3 days before or 3 days after and do not use a condom or on birth control you will then most likely get pregnant.
Every woman should know when she ovulates for condoms oar only 85% effective. Meaning they have a 15% failure rate due to breaking or not being worn correctly. Birth control medication is 98 % effective and birth control Medication with condom usage is 99.999% effective.
Most likely stress from fear of being pregnant has caused you to miss your period. Stress causes more missed periods in young women then pregnancy. Stress from work, school, problems at home can all act to upset the delicate balance the body has in place to regulate itself. When this happens it will shut down what it doesn't need to support life.
This is why it is important to take a home pregnancy test. A home test will confirm whether or not your pregnant. Note there are more false positives in these test results so if you do test positive do not freak out. Buy another test kit and wait ten more days. then follow the directions as to how to test.
My honest opinion is you are stressed out over this and this is the problem. If you have taken any medications in the past four weeks, even over the counter medications this too could cause you to miss a period.
My advice is to relax, take a test or you will miss your next period as well. IF you do then you will have to see a GYN for it is not good to miss two periods in a row for any reason if your periods are regular. I say that for you did not give your age.

A pregnancy test will let you know for sure if you are or aren't expecting.
Just for facts on late periods, it isn't always pregnancy that makes it late. It can be late due to stress, due to having been recently ill or currently ill. The stress on the body of fighting a cold and flu to get better means all energy and focus is diverted from the regular period to fighting the cold.
Females who spend alot of time around other females can find their bodies changing the time of the period to coincide with the times the other females are having it. For this to happen, your period can start lots sooner than usual or later than, but only within weeks of your normal period.
Wearing a condom makes it pretty much impossible to get pregnant. However, there is plenty of sexual play where a condom is not worn yet, for oral sex or mutual masturbation. If any precum on the tip of his penis got on your or his hands and immediately transfered to your vagina, theres enough sperm in precum to get pregnant by IF you are fertile during that time.
Because these are ways that a gal can still get pregnant, I believe it best to use some birth control other than condoms. Females can go see the Dr. and find out whats available. Pills seem the most popular to prescribe. Some girls have sides effects to Hormonal birth control. There are other options but the safest one in preventing pregnancy, least fuss and bother, and the most cost effective in long run is the copper IUD. There are hormonal ones now too. But IUDS are inserted by Dr. and remain inside and are good for 8-10 years if you want to wear one that long. Its always there, you still get regular periods if using the copper one and when wanting to have kids, can start trying as soon as its removed with no adjustment period for your body. Wearing one of these since you are now 18 means that you are ready and protected at any time, no matter if you have a boyfriend or theres a period of time you don't have one. Since we cant predict when we may be in our next relationship, there's no waiting period when taking the pill of a week or two for it to build up in your body enough to be effective, or having to go for shots when those wear out, or condoms breaking or slipping off, or a diaphragm not inserted correctly and sperm sneaking past it and the spermicide, etc. I mention all those as I've tried them and they're a hassle but I loved being on the iud so If not pregnant, and I were you, I'd talk to my dr. and make a choice for some better birth control.
