is it possible that i'm pregnant?

Question

i'm 19 years old and i just recently had sex for the first time one and a half weeks ago.

since then we've done it another 5-6 times.. all times using a condom

i'm not on the pill or anything, and i've read that it's not likely that you could get pregnant with a condom, but i'm kind of worried

i'm supposed to have gotten my period about a week ago, probably 4 days after we first had sex. i'm still a bit irregular with my period so i waited a week and i still haven't gotten it yet.

i've looked up symptoms of pregnancy and i don't know if they just get me more paranoid or what but i have been feeling more tired lately (but that may be because of school exams) and i have been getting cramps for the past few days.

i'm not sure if i'm just too stressed or what.

Answer 1

When I was your age, the worry about maybe being pregnant (even when I'd used birth control) made me late all the time. When I was trying to conceive, the worry about hopefully being pregnant also made me late all the time. Otherwise I was regular. :-) Big help, hmm?

If you used a condom--correctly--every time, then it is very unlikely that you are pregnant. Since you're a bit anxious, though, if you're going to continue to have sex, you might want to pair condom use with spermicidal foam or jelly as well. It makes the condom more effective. You can also pair a condom with any other form of birth control (except the female condom), and get good STD protection in addition to pregnancy peace of mind.

Answer 2

when you have sex for the first time your body will take a while to re-adjust. It's good that you are using a method of birth control, however nothing is 100% accurate. Give yourself a little more time and then take a home pregnancy test... follow it with a trip to your doctor to get on the pill or another contraceptive. Good luck.

Answer 3

no, not if you had sex 4 days before your period was due. usually women ovulate about 2 weeks before their period. The embryo needs at least 6 days to implant.
