Could I be pregnant?
Hi, before I ask I'm going to give a little information. I'm 17, always had VERY regular periods, they even come a few days early than what my tracker says they will. I last had sex on may 29th, unprotected, with pull out method. I had my next set period, which I've heard is common to have your next period then miss your second one. I am now what my tracker says three days late, but as I said before mine usually come before the tracker says it will. I've had some head aches, tiredness, and irritability I've noticed and I didn't notice the late period until my tracker notified me. Could I be pregnant?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
It is possible as the pull out method, also known as the rhythm method, is the worst form of birth control there as it is based on when a woman's most fertile. Every male emits a small amount of sperm, usually referred to as precum during intercourse. This precum has enough sperm in it to impregnate the female. So even if the male does not ejaculate in the female, depending on when she is most fertile unprotected sex can make her pregnant.
Most women, about 80%, are most fertile during the 7th to 21st day of their cycle. This is when an egg is not likely to be ejected and available for fertilization.
Since you did have a period after you had sex you are more likely not pregnant. It is most likely you are stressed out over the unprotected sex and the fact that you could get pregnant. Stress is the biggest killer of a woman's period. Any and all types of stress will cause this to happen at any age during your menstruating years.
The best thing to do is to purchase a home test kit and follow the instructions in the test kit. I realize you probably do not want your mom to find the kit. So I suggest you buy it, put it in your purse or makeup kit and take one or both of them into the bathroom for your morning shower. Take the test, when you get the results repackage the kit and put it back in your purse or makeup kit then get rid of it in a dumpster away from home.
These kits give more false positives than false negatives. IF you do get a positive result don't freak out. Wait 10 days and test again. If you get the same result then you reason to freak out and need to see a doctor.
Good luck.
