I got my last period Nov. 23 but it only lasted 2 days. I had sex(unprotected) for the first time on Nov. 29. Is it still possible to get pregnant even if I was iregular? Also, if I take a home pregnancy test, will it be acurate; or how long do I have to wait to take one? I've been sick with the flu or something for about 3 weeks and I started dieting around the same time so I think thats why I was iregular.

It's always possible to become pregnant when you have sex, and much more likely when it's unprotected. However, a test will almost certainly come up negative within the first month. If you haven't had a period by the first week of January, take a home test or go to a clinic. It'll be accurate by then.
Until then, don't stress out too much. And don't have unprotected sex again! (Unless of course you and your partner are ready for children.) When you have sex, you do take the chance of getting pregnant, every time. Get on birth control or use protection if you aren't ready for a child, but even those aren't 100% foolproof; just be sure you can handle the concenquences, just in case.
Bottom line: It's possible, but relatively unlikely. Be more careful from now on, and take the test in a month.

Slow down girl.
Yes, you could be pregnant, but there are many other possibilities too.
Home pregnancy tests these days are very accurate, just make sure you take in on your first pee of the day.
Being sick, has the ability to hold off a period, and worrying also does the same.
My advice would be to do a home pregnancy test, to ease your mind somewhat.
If the test is positive, then see your Doctor.
However, if it is negative, I would advise you to wait, relax, and if your period is still a no show next month, contact your Doctor.
The other thing you may want to consider, is some kind of birth control, yet that is another lecture for another day.

Yes you can still get pregnant with irregularity. The best chances for pregnancy also happen to fall within one week from ovulation. You can use home tests that will be just a accurate as what the hospital uses, most hospitals actually use home tests for preliminary or routine testing. Last of all, while your body adjusts to being pregnant you will most likely experience vomiting and flu like symptoms, and often times symptoms of a bladder infection. Dieting can make you irregular as well as an overwhelming amout of stress. If you think you are pregnant and stressing about it your periods will be off.

Pregnancy really can happen at anytime during the cycle, even though it is much more likely around the 14th day after you started your period. Some newer pregnancy tests work as early as two weeks after fertilization. So allowing up to 2 days for fertilization from the time you had sex, you can test your urine next weekend. Good luck, and use a condom next time.

Could be take a home test. Some you can take 3 days b4 you get your period. Change in diet can effect your period too.

There is always a chance of pregnancy if you had unprotected sex. You have to wait a month for a pregnancy test to be accurate.

It sounds like you might be pregnant, to be sure get a pregnancy test, first morning urine is best. First Response is the most accurate. if you want to be absolutley sure, go to your doctor, tell him/her what you think might be the problem, see if he /she can order you a preg test, a blood test is the most accurate of all. If its a family doctor and he knows your mom or dad, go see another physician. hope everything works out.
