Have you had your period between the time you had sex and the beginning of this period?
At your age it is normal for your flow to vary, for the timing to sometimes be not regular.
On the other hand - any time you have sex (protected or not protected) you risk getting pregnant. No birth control is foolproof. The only foolproof way not to get pregnant is not to have sex.
I'll skip the lecture about how you think at 14 you can raise a child, care for a child, provide for a child. I would spend more time on schoolwork and less time with your boyfriend.

Mymy, if you're having sex, pregnancy is possible. Even if you use every birth control method available, at once, pregnancy is possible.
Are you pregnant? It's possible. We can't tell you. You'll have to take a pregnancy test to make sure.
If you're not, take this as a sign that you're not ready for sex, because sex does lead to pregnancy.
You're 14! You're nowhere near ready to have a child. I think you know that, right?
Wait. Sex is not a game. Sex is serious. That's why adults tell kids to wait. This could change your life. Think about it.
Good luck.
