If you've had unprotected sex since you've been off the period, you could definitely be pregnant.

If not, then it's probaby just the hormones. I wouldn't worry too much.

So the anwer to your original question is, Yes, you can get pregnant, but a late period so soon after quitting birth control does not mean you are pregnant.

Well, first you should go to the doc and get a blood test to make sure you are pregnant. Than think about how to tell! Your doc will be able to counsel you on how your age will effect your pregnancy.
