AnswerDear "Secret",
If you are having your period and it is of regular volume and duration, then I'd suspect you are not pregnant. The sexual activity can affect hormones and create a little irregularity of your cycles. But the only way for you to know for sure is to test for pregnancy. Make sure you use 1st morning urine to get a concentrated sample for the most accurate results.
I would also caution you to think carefully before trying to get pregnant at this age. I know it is tempting for many reasons (believe me, I remember and I have 3 younger sisters!) - but unless you are willing to give up MANY things, many very fun things, that are ahead of you in the next few years, wait to bring a little one into the world until you've got that ring on your hand and plenty of dollars in the bank. It's hard enough (on the mom AND the baby)- even with those things. Men will come and go (for awhile anyway), so make them honor and respect the strong, intelligent young woman you are FIRST.
I hope this has helped you and answered your question. Be well!
Brenda
