If you are using birth control most kinds have a 1 in 100 chance of failure so one out of 100 women will get pregnant a year. That gives you a 1 in 10 chance in 10 years. That isn't really bad if you are married and don't mind having a child but for the rest of use two forms should be used. If you already have all the children you want you can have your husband fixed or get your tubes tied if he won't get snipped. If you are unmarried you are already using condoms for STD protection so adding a pill or shot would improve your odds of not having surprise pregnancies.
Talk to your doctor about all your options and pick two after this scare is past either way.
I would go ahead and get the home test they aren't very expensive and if you are pregnant you need to know so you can decide to abort or give birth. If the baby will be born you need to stop anything that might harm the baby like caffeine and alcohol and take prenatal vitamins. Even if you give it up for adoption you want your baby healthy.
Good luck, I hope it is just a scare for you.

Take a deep breathe. Now read the first 6 letters in your question. It sounds like it maybe pretty normal for you to be a few days late. If you were careful (I.E. used a condom/birth control and used it correctly) you should be fine. There is very little chance you would be preggers if you did everything right. I have had plenty of pregnancy scares but once its all said and done, I could see that I over reacted cause I was scared. It also never helps to take a pregnancy test. A lot of pregnancy centers will do them for free and confidentially.
P.S. "ignorant prick" is a sexist bastard, don't listen to him

1. periods are not regular in the teen years; that's just how it is.
2. have you had sex?
3. is it possible you have an STD?
4. have you lost or gained weight, travelled, been stressed out, etc.?
don't worry too much, but take a pregnancy test in 2 weeks.
(& why is ignorantprick perusing female questions? that's just plain pervy; don't take that crap.)

It may just be because your worrying, your period can delay coz of this. try not to stress out. have you had unprotected sex of late????
leave it a week and see what happens, if you dont get them in a week you will just have to buy a test. are you close to your sister, talk to her, she can go with you to get a test.
if it happens to be that your pregnant, its really not the end of the world!!!

Are you on the pill? If not people's menstrual cycle isn't always on the dot. So wait a couple of days if you still haven't got it........take a pregnancy test. Whether or not you are scared....If you are, you are, if you're not, you're not. That's life. Good luck.
