Please help :(

So, this past month i had unprotected sex 2 times. I was supposed to start my period on August 17th, but my menstrual cycle is always irregular. It is September 1st now and i still haven't started. The first time of unprotected sex was on August 15 and the second was August 16. I took the Plan B pill on the 17th and i've still yet to start my period. I have had symptoms of starting such as cramps and my breasts are sore (which are my usual signs) but i still haven't started! I have been psyching myself out a little because this is my first time having unprotected sex with my boyfriend.  I was on birth control, but stopped taking it for the month of July (great timing, i know) I just left home for college and have been homesick and stressing about all the college expenses and sorority expenses, and a bit about this pregnancy scare. Could i possibly be pregnant?

Thank you so much for your help. I started my period yesterday and that is a big load off my shoulders. Thank you for you consideration :)

It's unlikely that you are pregnant but you can't be sure.  It depends on when you ovulated after stopping the pill.  If you were later in that happening then there is a chance that you could be pregnant.

But I agree with the others that stress is a common reason for being late.

Stress will definitely offset your period, especially if you are approaching a new milestone in your life.  Plan B works without fail (at least from what I have read). So I don't think you have anything to worry about.  To be safe though, I would consider taking a pregnancy test.  Keep in mind that missing a period here and there just happens sometimes for a variety of reasons!
