Im 18 and my bf of 22 have been having unprotected sex since 2 weeks after my last period, which was may 28(my last period). hes been pulling out everytime he finishes. my period is never on the same exact day each month, it always changes.. i've been 2 days late already (if i were to get it the same exact day as last time May 21) and im kind of worrying. i havent had any symptoms at all. last time we had sex was wednesday of last week and not having anymore until i get birth control. can someone please tell me if i should get a test or wait or if im just freaking out for no reason. i would really appreciate an answer, please and thank you (:
