I had sex for the first time on the 29th. I was supposed to get my period the 30th, but of course sometimes periods run late. We used a condom and I took the day after pill. I have heard the medication I'm on (Doxycycline) can screw up your period also, I was just put on it about a week ago.... Is there a big chance I am pregnant? Please help, I am 15 and freaking out!

Hi NZ,

It's unlikely you are pregnant.  You used protection and took the morning after pill.  The pill often has side effects.  it can make your next SEVERAL periods early or late and heavier or lighter than normal.

Give it some time.

You can always take a home test - NO SOONER than two weeks after you had sex.  YOU MUST use your first morning urine (wake up pee) for the best accuracy.  False negatives are common testing early.

Good luck.

It varies in all women. You could have it tomorrow or in a month.
