Aa
im over 2 weeks late on my period
okay so, last year in august i decided to get on birth control (depo provera), my boyfriend and i have been together for 3 years now so i thought itd be a good method. i didnt know being on the depo would cause so many problems with my body so after being correctly informed about it, in september this year i immediately got off it. I started to take birth control pills, and usually after being on the depo i guess some girls dont get their periods for a while. well for me i got mine the next month on october.2. My boyfriend and i dont use condoms at all and he does ejaculate in me, but its been 3 years of that and i havent gotten pregnant..we're eachothers first and only by the way, and we get checked every so often. Anyways my question is can i be pregnant because it is now september 14th and im not sure if i was suppose to start my period on the 2nd? or at the end of my 2nd pack of birth control pills, that i stupidly stopped taking after the first pack.. or can it just be cause from being on the depo and ****.. idk im not sure just need some advice without being judged.. thanks in advanced for any help by the way im 17 :)

yeah, and i know my body pretty well.. like when i am on my period or about to start it i get extremely bad cramps.. it gets to the point where i have to sit in a hot tub for a while..and i just feel weird that i havent even gotten any type of pain or cramps at all in my stomach its just weird to me.. and yeah i mean if i am pregnant, im at least blessed with my boyfriend even though hes the same age as me,we are mature for our age & being with him for so long id feel even better and more confident. i love kids i just hope that im not pregnant because i wanted the absolute best for my future kids. and i know i wouldnt be able to give him/her that at this age..Thanks for this talk tho.. My boyfriend and my mom are my only friends basically lol and hes just as confused as i am. and well i dont want to dissapoint my mom. So i just need some type of advice other than my own thoughts (:
I would test ASAP and if its negative wait a week, if you don't have your period still test again, possibly get a blood test to rule it out. No one is ever really ready for a baby and 17 isn't that young. Women through out time gave birth earlier then that. If you are pregnant you will have some decisions to make but honestly you can totally raise a child, finish school, go to college and everything. It's hard work but babies are truly a blessing. Good luck it stinks not knowing what's going on with your body.
Well most pregnancy tests come with like 2 or 3, so I would space them out. If you get a negative, test again in a few days. If it's still negative, then it's probably just the birth control.
No i havent tested yet.. so should i test like asap, or wait maybe another week just to give the test a chance to be accurate. And ill forsure keep you updated :) im not saying a baby isnt a blessing, im just not ready. im only 17.. but whatever god wants to happen, will happen.
Have you tested? It would probably relieve you a lot if you did, even if it does turn out to be positive, at least you would know. Keep us updated!
Well it could be caused by changing hormonal methods or it could be your pregnant. I would test just to be sure.
yeah, i kind of feel like i am, but then again ive had like 2 other pregnancy scares.. i know that doesnt mean anything but idk. im just confused right now i know its too much info lol and its akward but we've had sex like every weekend since the end of october.. and idont know if the depo that i previously had is causing this & getting use to the changes or if im just tryna make myself believe that..
You could be pregnant. If you have sex you can get pregnant even if you are on birth control. The chances of you getting pregnant also go up if you do not take your brith control correctly. They usually say to use a back up method when switching to pills for the first month. They only way to find out is to take a test.
