    It would be possible, the things with odds are you can always be that 1 in 20 if there is even a 5 percent chance.

    Sex anytime without birth control can result in a baby. That is why there should not be unprotected sex until you are ready to have a baby.

    Also there are 100's of STD that can be transfed.

    No way we can know. Anytime you have unprotected sex, you take the risk.

    Home pregnancy tests, however are pretty accurate and some can detect after only a few days or weeks. So go to your nearest drugstore (or farthest if you want to remain anonymous) and check out the tests and see which will give the earliest detection.

    Sorry you're scared honey. It's a little soon to know if you're pregnant or not yet. So, take a deep breath. You said you weren't sure how long your cycle was. Let me ask you this. Are your periods usually regular? Do you know about when you are due for one? Do you use any type of birth control?

    If you don't get one in 2 or 3 weeks, use a home pregnancy test. They are cheap and easy to use. When you use it, use it the first time you go pee in the morning, as it is more likely to be accurate then. Home pregnancy tests aren't always accurate. You could get a false positive or negative. So, if it says "no", keep a close eye on your cycle and if you don't get the period soon, go get a pregnancy test at the doctor's. If it says "yes", obviously see a doctor, but keep in mind that it could be an error.

    It's impossible to know at this point. It's good that you weren't ovulating, but that doesn't mean that you aren't pregnant. A woman can get pregnant at ANY time of the month, sometimes even if she is taking birth control pills. That's why it's important to use condoms too. I could go on and on about how you shouldn't be having sex at your age, but you know what? I did when I was your age too, so I can't talk, lol. Just do be sure that you are protecting yourself, and make sure that the guy you are with is a good person who you know will support you and stick by you if you do get pregnant.

    In the meantime, avoid alcohol and nicotine just to be safe. If you are taking any medications which you can't take while pregnant, see a doctor and tell him/her about you concerns. I hope everything works out for you. Good luck and let me know how you are doing. Try to relax and enjoy the holidays. If you're not pregnant, stressing out will just make you more likely to have a late period anyway, at least for me it does.
