gilliegrrrl	You are so very wrong. Period or not, it is ENTIRELY possible for you to become pregnant, you are fertile and having unprotected sex. My urgent advice to you is to go to the doctor and tell him or her what happened, and see if you can get the "morning after" pill. If not, you may find yourself with a baby 9 months from now. On another note, do you know how dangerous it is to "hook up" and have unprotected sex? I don't care if you knew the guy, or how old he was, having unprotected sex with ANYONE can result in you having an STD, anything from syphilis to HIV. Simply put, unprotected sex can kill you. Sweetie, I know you don't want to hear this, but you are too young and uninformed to be sexually active. You need to educate yourself before you have sex, and you need to be mature enough to make sensible decisions as to when and with whom. So, my advice to you is to go to the doctor, get checked out for pregnancy and STDs, and to stop this until you're older. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cookies	of course pregnancy is a possibility because it was unprotected! It doesn't matter if you just recently started your period. If you think you are then go and see a DR if they don't think you are they may ask you to wait a couple weeks or more to see of you have symptoms or if you have your period. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tiger cub due 12/5/09	im not going to lie to you yes you could be pregnant. if you are going to keep hooking up with guys then please get on the pill or use condoms Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

HADITDUN	yes, there's always possibilities of getting pregnant while having unprotected sex along with STD's. you ought to tell your parents about this incident. and they can get you on birth control with a pap smear to check to see if you caught anything while having sex. always use condoms a piece of *** isn't worth your life, so if you don't have protection don't be having sex period. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

-Goddess-	oh yea it still is. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Terri	Um, DUH. Of COURSE you can! Even if you were protected you can still get pregnant. So, common sense would indicate that having unprotected sex means you have a very very good chance of being pregnant. Use protection! Get tested for STDs and I suggest you tell the next person you decide to have sex with to get checked as well! And also get the previous two guys to get tested as well. Just because you don't have periods often does not mean that you can't get pregnant. KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED until you understand the possible consequences of your actions!!! Ah, just keep your legs closed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

raja	see a doctor. don't listen to anyone else. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Miccola	it's probably too early to show physical symptoms, other than the missing period. of COURSE it's possible you're pregnant; you had unprotected sex. go to the doctor, or if you're scared or don't want to tell you're parents, find a free clinic. =] Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

I'Nardo	yes Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lost_Soul	sorry to sound so preachy, but you kinda earned it... are you really that dense??? YES you can get pregnant!! you could be pregnant at this very moment....girl, you need to use your head before you end up in some situation where you really DON'T want to be. Sex, is really not all it's cracked up to be. Save it for someone who really loves you and who you love, not some guy whose just gonna USE you. Believe me, it's NOT easy being a single mother. i've been there. BE RESPONSIBLE. if you choose to spread your legs for some JERK, then YOU make sure he wears a condom. belive me, that's the last thing on a guys mind. it's your body, YOU are responsible for it, if you get pregnant or end up w/ a Sexually Transmitten Disease. Think about it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

CyEngin	If you arent on birth control and the man did not use protection you are at very high risk of getting pregnant. There is medicine called the day after pill that will make sure that the fetus will not develop, if you are fearing childbirth. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

steven m	with unprotected sex, anything is possible. see a doc or a nurse - Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

english juggler	I Agree with seeing the doctor. I would say yes but i and probably anyone who answers ur question has no experties on this sort of stuff. You don't even have to tell your parents, doctor-patiant confidenciality or w/e it's called. Just go see a doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pookie Poo	Any time you have sex you have a chance of tgetting pregnant. Yes, even with irregular periods you can get pregnant. You can still ovulate. If you ovulate, you've released an egg that can be fertilized by the sperm. If you plan on staying sexually active, get on birth control. Talk to your mom, or another trusted female adult and have her take you to the doctor. If you absolutely can't do that, look up the phone number and address to planned parenthood and they will get you on birth control confidentially and at a very low cost. Just remember, no method of birth control works 100 % of the time.. so even if you get on the pill, use a condom. (I got pregnant at 16 and 19 while taking the pill, and using it correctly.. I miscarried both times though.) And don't forget that birth control does NOT protect against STD's... and there are some really scary ones out there.. so.. just be careful!

julvrug	If your cycle is that irregular, you should talk to a doctor. Yes you could get pregnant. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gohanss464601	ANY time you have sex you take a chance of pregnancy use protection lowers that risk but unprotected is almost certain Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Agent2828	There is a definite possibility that you can be pregnant, although that's only a possibility. You should take a pregnancy test in 2 weeks, and if it is negative, you should take it again a week later. If you don't get your period soon after, you should see your doctor. Just so you know, any time you have sex without a condom there is a possibility that you will get pregnant. Don't have sex without a condom until you want to get pregnant, or at least get yourself on a birth control pill. Finally, don't have sex with guys who you are not in a serious relationship with. Also, you should protect yourself from STD's, which more people have than you realize... even kids your age. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

luvcats	It is called birth control!!!!! Even at your age if you do not want to be pregnant then you need do something to PROTECT YOURSELF!!!!!!! It only takes 1 little sperm to connect with your egg to create a child. It just amazes me that in this day and age, with all of information available to teenagers that they are not educated on these subject. I wish you all the luck in the world, just be careful out there. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Amy lynn	It only takes 1 time. Get tested asap. Get a blood test would give you the best results. Might get tested for std's too. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Maggie S	You had sex with 2 different men in two days and you just lost your virginity? Of course you can get pregnant and if you keep up the way you are right now chances are you will get pregnant soon if you aren't already. If you cant keep your legs closed you should at least go on the pill. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bien Chula	Yes you can become pregnant like that. Always use protection- even if your period is not regular. You should also write down when you have your period each time for medical or personal reference. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ripsgracie	There's always the possiblity of pregnancy anytime you have intercourse without the benefit of a condom or BCP's. Too, you had sex too soon after losing your virginity, so I imagine you are pretty sore right now; your vagina needs to heal. Don't spread yourself too thin ('hook up' with too many guys) because they will tell others to come to you and this will make you look bad. I only say this to protect you, not be mean. Guys shouldn't make a big deal with their buddies, but they do, and it is embarrasing for a woman. There may be several factors as to why your periods are irregular. You need to go see an OB/GYN so he/she can determine why this is happening and possibly recommend something (BCP's most likely) to regulate your periods. But, make sure you aren't pregnant first. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Coop <3	Even if you aren't menstruating, you could still be ovulating, which means you could still become pregnant just as easily. If it's been less than 72 hours since you had unprotected sex, go to a pharmacy immediately to get emergency contraception. If it has been longer than that, be patient and in three weeks from the time you had unprotected sex you can start taking pregnancy tests to see if you're pregnant or not. If you don't know these things for yourself and they result in you doing something extremely stupid like having unprotected sex, I highly suggest that you refrain from ALL sexual activity until you know how and when to properly protect yourself. Sex is an adult activity, and if you can't be responsible enough to protect yourself (age is not an issue here), you should not have sex, ever, at all, ever again, etc. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Grumble	You could be... if you have sex in any form without the guy being sterile or you having your tubes tied YOU CAN GET PREGNANT! Learn about sex before you have it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

myownsecretarydotcom	Yes you could be pregnant, but if you need to ask these questions maybe you don't need to be having sex . NOT using birth control/condoms is very irresponsible Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

NONAME	you need to use a condom when "hooking up", or your next question will be on the STD board. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

theinfamouskoolaid	Any unprotected sex carries with it the possibility of becoming pregnant. If your periods are irregular normally, then you are correct that it would be tricky to determine when you do get pregnant, and you likely would be unable to tell this early. However, I would suggest you consider getting checked in a couple weeks. If you are really serious about continuing to be sexually active and avoiding pregnancy, then I would strongly suggest you use contraception every time you are with a guy. And don't fall for that "It's ok, I'll pull out beforehand" nonsense, as that doesn't work either. I would suggest you either get condoms for yourself to give guys who aren't responsible enough to carry them (which will also protect you from STD's, since it sounds like you're not monogamous right now); or you consider starting a hormonal contraceptive, such as the pill, the patch, the ring, or Depo. There is likely to be a Planned Parenthood clinic or something similar nearby that can help counsel you about what the right decisions might be for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
