No offense, but how old are you? You sound pretty young. Although you can get pregnant during your period, your chances are way higher roughly about 14 days before- when you ovulate. Everybody's body is different, hence not everyone ovulates at the same time, so I can't help you there. Rule of thumb: you can get pregnant anytime you have sex. There is always a risk! If you are not planning on having a baby/ don't want a baby- then you should practice safe sex. There are plenty of websites that have more information on the subject. For now, if you haven't received your period yet and you are late, then take a home pregnancy test then you can go from there. Or make an appointment with your OBGYN. I don't mean to sound harsh, but having sex is a huge responsibility!

Ooh okay.. well, maybe just take a test. Just to be sure, because if you are, the sooner you know the better. If negative, maybe just wait until your next period comes and if nadda, take another test and if still negative, make an appointment with your OBGYN.
Once again, I really didn't mean to offend you, I just read it and was like hUH? Wink

off the subject but, did you ever entertain the idea that maybe your ex boyfriend is the one who is sterile, not you? Unprotected sex with another partner just might result in an unwanted pregnancy ~not to mention STD's!! You're 18, dont go screwing up your body in ways your not yet willing to live with the REST OF YOUR LIFE.

As for such an irregular period there are so many things and you really need to go to a doctor. With a history of irregular periods and recently stopping birth control you could very well have become pregnant and miscarried. Its actually quite common but worth a trip to the obgny.

an "obgyn" is short for Obstetrician/Gynecologist. meaning they specialize in all things women, babies, reproductive system, etc. Take a day off work and make time for your body already.

I'm not laughing nor do I think you are stupid but i DO think you may be a bit immature for sexual relationships. You really should educate yourself more in this department and at the very LEAST keep yourself safe and your future options open. No one wants a single mother riddled with STD's that hasnt even reached her mid-20's.
