    Its way to early to tell... If you are pregnant right now its from having a sex a little further back then a week ago. Cause you could still have your first period even if you are pregnant.

    I miss my period when I change my diet or start working out. Have you changed anything drastic latly?

    No, I don't think your pregnant. If you used protection you should be okay. Did you look at the condom after you had sex? You do know that those things can break right? Plus some guys do all type of stuff to trap women... like poke holes in the condom. You have to be very careful when it comes tohaving sex. I think you take a pregnancy test too just to be sure. GOod luck

    The best way to find out is to go to your gynocoligist and get checked out.It may be to early for a pregnancy test but the dr can do a blood test to see if you are pregnant.Good luck.

    If you have sex you can get pregnant. Birth control or not.

    And you can miss or be late for many reasons, including, but not only, pregnancy.

    You posted about this in another thread... the answer isn't different...

    Birth control helps reduce, but not eliminate chance of pregnancy.

    If you miss a period or are late or if its different there can be many reasons. Pregnancy is one. Not the only one.

    My son was conceived while using birth control and tracking my partners fertility cycle... meaning we were "being careful" and still it happened. Oops. A happy oops in my case, as I was able and willing to accept the responsibilities that come with engaging in sex.

    So please don't assume birth control stops pregnancy. It reduces the chance... but common forms have failure rates at 2-5% and higher with typical use.. which sounds like a small number until you understand that means 1 in 20 girls who engage in sex with common birth control with common, not perfect, use will get pregnant. 1 in 20.

    If you don't have a good anti-conception plan in place, you're playing with fire!!

    Abstinence is the only form of birth control that is 100%, there is not other.

    Having said that, no one on this site can tell you whether you are pregnant, only a home pregnancy test or blood test from a doctor can tell you that.

    Good Luck.

    Um, when is your period even due? We can't answer your question until we know that.

    Do they not have health classes anymore? If you had sex, then there is always a possibility of pregnancy. No type of birth control is 100% guaranteed. I don't think wal - mart will take back a used condom that failed. So be wise and be careful.

    I would try a pregancy test and go to the doctors... just because you miss your period doesn't mean you are pregnant. If you used a condom then you shouldn't be pregnant. Good luck.

    Condoms aren't 100% effective, so don't count on that if you aren't ready to be pregnant. Like I said before, only abstinence is 100% effective.

    Bottom line is that sex=babies. Even if you are using birth control there is still a chance that you could get pregnant. If you aren't ready for a baby than maybe you aren't ready for sex.

    First, I would wait then take a test because you could have just been late or skipped this month. Secondly, I never understand when people say," I dont want to get pregnant" Then why do you still have sex without using a condom. If you don't get pregnant, you could get STDS.
