I'm 43 days late for my period I have never been late before my period was on track for about 6 months where I was having one every month. I lost my virginity back in April but I'm with someone else now and we had sex recently and ever since then I've had odd cramping and pain around my vagina I don't know what's going on. I've asked my mom to take me to the docs (she thinks I'm a virgin) but she said she won't take me until after my birthday August 18 which is a long time it's starting to freak me out. And I know I'm not pregnant we used protection I've taken a test. And I'm big on birth control. I'm 16 almost 17.

No birth control is 100% effective - one of our AMHD members got pregnant twice using two means of birth control.

Another person was using birth control and now has a son.

I wouldn't wait until August 18 -
