I had sex for the first time, now my periods late...is this normal?

[cindylouwho87]

Hi. I'm 18, for the first time about a week ago I had sex with my boyfriend. We used a condom and when he was ready to *** he pulled out took the condom off and well finished. Some of his *** did get on me..but it only gor on my behind. We had sex on the 17th...and my period was already late (it was due the 13th) so I know it wasn't smart to have sex while still waiting for my little friend to come..but we did. Anyways, I still haven't gotten my period, could I be pregnant? Also, I haven't had a "normal" period since Sept. I got my period in Oct,Nov, and Dec....but each month it was very light and lasted for only a day. What do I do? Should I get a home pregnancy test just to make sure? And should I go on the pill..? What do you guys think....


Thanks.

i don't know about being pregnant but when i first started having sex, my period was first 2 weeks late and then 3 weeks. They were normal periods though, not light or heavy. Factor in stress, apparently that's a HUGE deal.

Sorry - I missed the part about a condom. I just read the pill part. Sorry Oceans3

I think that's precisely what Oceans3 was saying...

"go on the pill and use a condom to avoid unwanted pregnancy as well as any potential sexually transmitted diseases that may be lurking when LEAST expecting it."

Just to clarify - the pill will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases - just pregnancy. You need to use a condom too until you are with your monogamous, lifetime partner.

It does not sound like you would be pregnant. I would continue to wait for your period, however if it still does not arrive I would contact the physician. You may need something to regulate your cycles. If there was no opportunity for sperm to enter there is no way you could be pregnant. Good luck

Given the circumstances, I don't think you are pregnant. But you should see your Gynocologist about your irregular cycles. He/She will most likely put you on BC pills to regulate your cycle and then you have the added bonus of being protected. Not that you should stop using condoms, use both and you will be doubly protected;)

Thanks everyone. I really didn't think I could be..but my b/f is really nervous about everything. Once again thanks. And I guess I'll calm down and wait. U'll def. be making an appt. sometime soon for the Gynocologist.

yes, now that you are sexually active you should:

1)go to the gynocologist
2) go on the pill and use a condom to avoid unwanted pregnancy as well as any potential sexually transmitted diseases that may be lurking when LEAST expecting it.
Take care of your body

I wouldn't worry about anything yet.  Your periods haven't been regular, so there's a good chance that that's all this is.  Have your periods always been irregular?  You might want to bring these irregularities up to your gynocologist, if you haven't done so already.

Of course, there's always the possibility that you could be pregnant, but the fact that he was wearing a condom and all that leads me to suspect that you're not.  Still, you might want to moniter your symptoms.
