How To Detect Pregnancy?

I have not had my period yet. I usually don't have a regular period but for the past few months i have had my period within a day or two of my sister's. She is on birth control so she has a regular period. She had her period about a week and a half ago. My boyfriend and I were doing stuff a few days after my last period. I heard there was no sperm in pre-cum as long as it is cleaned out after your previous ejaculation, which he did. I have not had cramps and i usually have them a few days before i start. Could i be pregnant? I have been really stressed with school and the fact that i could be pregnant. Could this be why my period is so late? Is this cause for concern?

Hi..yes you are right regarding the fact that stress and a strong fear of pregnancy even may cause delayed periods..
preseminal secretions generally contain very few sperms if any, so there are negligible chances of pregnancy..so wait for your menses for a week to 10 days..and still if you don't have them, get a urine pregnancy test done by self at home which is reliable enough to confirm pregnancy..if negative you can take tab meprate 10 mg twice a day for 5 days and then wait for another week for your menses when you will resume.
In addition i suggest you to use a condom during any act which involves ejaculation near or inside your genitals..
