What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy As Am Having Delayed Periods And Having Safe Sex?
I am a 16 year old teenage girl and have had my period for about 5 years, very regularly. Recently since about July, my cycle has been very irregular, sometimes being 4 to 5 days late. I am sexually active and not on birth control, but my boyfriend and I do practice safe sex. I'm not exactly sure what to do or say, I'm just scared that I could end up pregnant or something that I do not have plan to happen for a while. I just don't know what to do, I just need advice please.

Hello,
Being 4-5 days late is ok. Having upto a 35 day cycle is considered normal. But in your case, i would suggest using a regular form of contraception like oc pills of provera injection. It often difficult to calculate the fertile phase in a long cycle. Any slip can cause pregnancy. Use something yourself. Oc pills will also regularise your cycles.
