Pull out does not really work, since there is lots of sperm in the early fluids,
Next condoms have a 3 to 10 percent failure rate.

If you are going to be active having sex, you need to be on birth control and use condoms.

So yes of course you could be pregnant, since you had sex with no protection at least twice and was only using condoms the other times.

So what is the due date of your last period ? How many days late are you.
When you get 10 to 14 days late, you can test using the first urine of the morning when you wake up.

But at times you may also just miss a period, no way to know till you test

But like I said before it had happen before that I skip a month... also I have been sleeping so late and I think that that could be a reason why it's being late could be? I have read that you never know that precum can get you pregnant :/ but are some chances you can.. and about sleeping late that can also count as changing schedules because now I go to sleep till 3-4am and wake up at 12pm... But now it's January and I have skip the month of December and it has happen before so I don't know if I should wait till this week passes by :/

Take a pregnancy test using first morning urine. You can argue your case all you want, but the fact is that the chance of pregnancy is there, so it's time to take a test and find out.

If the test is negative, wait until your next scheduled period. If you miss it, test again or see a doctor for a blood test.

But yes, you could be pregnant.

If I go buy a pregnancy test to do at home which one will you recommend me? To be sure if I am or not.. could it be accurate already because I have missed my period this past December? :/

You stated that you're a month late. At one month late it's okay to take a test. Any test is fine, just make sure to follow the directions exactly, and use your first morning of the day to test.

If the test is negative, test again next month if you miss your period, or get a blood test done.

So it doesn't matter brand or anything to find out if I'm really are or not? I've heard about the dollar stores pregnancy test and for me I don't think they will give me a good result if I go but one from Walgreens or some other store I want to find out ASAP and stop worrying about it :/

All pregnancy tests test for the hcg hormone. Price and brand name really isn't a factor, and the dollar store tests are just as accurate as those that are found in other stores. But it's up to you.

Keep in mind that all tests also have a failure rate, mostly human error, but there can also be defective tests, even the high priced ones can be defective. A false negative is very common, but a false positive isn't. In other words, if you test and it's negative, wait until your next period is due and test again if you miss it. If it's positive, then you're pregnant. Using first morning urine is very important. Since your urine is more concentrated in the morning, there will be higher levels of the hcg hormone, making it easier for the test to detect. HCG is only produced during pregnancy.

Good luck.

Thanks!

If it turns out positive is it possible that I could be having pregnancy symptoms already?

Yes, it's possible to have pregnancy symptoms when you're pregnant.

Then you're pregnant.

You'll need to start prenatal vitamins and book an appointment with your OB.

Could I be having the early pregnancy symptoms like the cramping? I'm feeling those and they feel like I'm about to get my period because that's when I use to start getting my menstrual cramps...

Yes, that's normal. For all three of my pregnancy's I had cramping around the time I was supposed to get my period. My period never came because I was pregnant.

This is perfectly normal.
