Periods and birth Control

please help, i am 16 and have been with my boyfriend for 6 months now, we have been talking about becoming sexually active, but both feel that me becoming pregnant is a big no no. we decided that a combination of a contraceptive pill and condoms is the safest root, the problem is i haven't had a period for 4 months, and before that i hadn't had a period for 6, i had a constant and regular period for year and a half before this though, which is what is confusing me. can i still get pregnant if i haven't got a period and what should i do? please help as i am worried about both my lack of period and contraception, any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

If you're 16 and considering engaging in penis-vagina sex, you need to take responsibility for your sexual health. No one can tell you why you're not getting your period. You'll need to see a gynecologist to determine whether your oral contraceptives are the correct formulation for your body. If you're ovulating, you can get pregnant. Again, the only way to determine this is to see your gynecologist. Call your local Planned Parenthood and schedule an appointment at their teen clinic. And in case you're wondering, yes, they have lots of women on the staff. Good luck.
