Let me ask Micheal, are you a woman? Are you a dr?

Try to not get stressed, that could be a reason why you haven't had your period yet, I remember once I had a delay of 6 months-though I wasn't active- but it can be for tension,....are you regular?

This isn't the first time I've had sex,
This is the 1st time I haven't got my period in almost 4 months..& on top I've that I've been having protected sex.

Like I said earlier, there are many factors that can effect your period. Best thing for you to do is to visit your doctor and get a physical done. Some blood work. I hope it is something simple. Best of luck to you and please let us know how everything works out.

Understand that protected sex is not 100% effective. The only way you surely will not get pregnant is abstinence.

So, with that said, a doctor's visit is in order.

You could definitely be pregnant! I was almost 5 months pregnant when I found out I was having a baby. I took (at least) 3 pregnancy tests and went to my yearly physical at my doctor's office. I finally knew something wasn't right and called my doctor. She sent me to have blood work done, which was when I found out. If nothing else, go have your blood taken to give yourself a piece of mind

Not a doctor or a woman but
Hormones affect a woman's cycle, not sex. Sex can stimulate some hormones, but as OP said, this is not the first time she had sex. Her virginity is not a factor. Her cycle could have been delayed because of stress or because of pregnancy, but not just because she had sex. Losing one's virginity does not affect a woman's cycle. If OP is young her cycle may not have regulated yet. Show me an medical article that says protected sex can change a woman's cycle I'll admit I'm wrong I'll be happy to show you article that says puberty causes those things.
Puberty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Back to the original question..... It is possible you could be pregnant. Having sex, even protected makes that possible. The only way to know is to buy a pregnancy test or visit your doctor.

This girl already said that she has had periods before, and this was the first time she has missed one, so I'd say she has already hit puberty...

I agree with Michael about seeing the doctor though, there is no one on here that can tell you either way whether you are or aren't pregnant, all we can do is suggest what we would do in your position, and I think the vote is unanimously "see a dr." As for if it is possible that you are pregnant, YES. Good luck, and I hope you learn an answer soon.

Stress and diet can delay your period, along with pregnancy. Its really simple to rule out pregnancy, just take a test. If its positive, then you know what's causing the delay. If its negative, then you can investigate further into what the problem is.

Tests can still be negative even when you are pregnant. At this point the only test that will say positively is a blood test, and even then it could be wrong. I suggest gettingto your dr. They would be able to tell by now through a vaginal exam whether you are pregnant or not and definitely through an ultrasound.

I was also always told that sex itself is what changes the cycle, and have also done research, and shown that its the hormones produced in sex that change the cycle - so technically you are both right....
