Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Probably not. If your periods are regular and you are among the 85 percent of women that ovulate between the 7th and 21st day of their cycle then you should have been in you safe time.
For most women, 85%, the ovulate between the 7th and 21st day of their cycle. Sometime during this period your Overy ejects and egg for fertilization and is viable for several days after it is ejected into the fallopian tube. Once it leaves the fallopian tube it can no longer be fertilized by male sperm. I is when you ovulate and eject an egg that you are most likely to become pregnant. Every woman should know when the ovulate. Some women know this because the cramp up when the ovary ejects the egg. There are kits you can purchase at the drugstore to help you find out when you ovulate.
For the other 15% the can ovulate at anytime even during their period.
While I am almost certain you are not pregnant I do suggest you get a test kit and take the test. The reason I do so is simple. IF you stress out about thinking you may be pregnant I can guarantee you will miss your next period. Stress is the biggest reason why women miss their periods. It doesn't have to be stress or worry about being pregnant. Virgins can stress out over school work and miss a period. Your mom can stress out over a multitude of problems at work or home and miss her period.
My advice is that you take a test and find out for sure you are not pregnant and stop worrying. Then if you are over 14 by Federal Law called HIPPA you can make an appointment to see your doctor or go to any woman's clinic and get birth control. Your parents cannot object or stop you.
According to this law anyone over age 14 is in total control of their reproductive syste. Congress did this so that young men and women would seek out doctors for treatment and advice concerning the reproductive system or how to reproduce (sex).
By law your mother can no longer be in the exam room with you during a female exam or dads with a boy during a male exam of the reproductive system and organ. Only the doctor and the nurse can be in the exam room as you have total medical confidentiality when it comes to your reproductive system. No one, this includes your parents can see those medical records without your written permission. This includes if you should be pregnant your parents can not stop you or force you to have an abortion. It is totally your call.
By virtue of this law you can ask for and be prescribed birth control. The prescription will be filled under your parents health insurance with the same confidentiality as will the doctors visits.

Probably not, but you can take a test to find out if you're pregnant. However, teens with irregulars cycles can get pregnant just about anytime. I don't know your age so If you are a young teen, I need to share the following:
Teen girls won't have a regular cycle for quite a few years, this also means they don't ovulate at a regular time each month that you can count on so it's possible to have 2 periods in one month for that matter, I remember having that or no period for 3, 4 months! And that's the visible sign of your cycle not being regular yet, while your body is still getting used to the hormones of puberty. The part you can't see is when your body releases an egg that can get fertilized. It might be the same time each month but if it isn't, there is no way to predict when you have an egg that can be fertilized, so counting just when you had a period is not safe enough. So if you are a teen, taking a pregnancy test is your first step. Follow the instructions on it, it works best if used after a certain amount of time after sex, taken too early it may show nothing yet. Or call your closest Planned Pregnancy center to ask them and go see them. They do work with teens all the time, they are a good source for any care concerning your reproduction organs and can provide you with birth control if you're planning on continuing to have sex. This is all confidential under Hippa law so parents don't have to know.
